     | 4,146 views

    In fearful times, there are also signs of hope. Some turn everything into a sign of fear and conflict. Others can see hope if they allow others to succeed. The child Jesus is a sign of such hope.

    "The time of fear is over; now comes the time of hope." These words were spoken in the most unlikely of situations. A French novelist, Tristan Bernard, and his wife, were being put into prison by the Gestapo, after the Nazis had overrun France. They were being sent to a concentration camp; ...read more

    In the midst of this pandemic, where do we find hope? What do we have to grasp onto to steady us? Where is our light in all of this darkness? Where is our anchor, our lifeline in this storm? In the Bible.

    Well … I don’t have to tell you, the whole world as we know it is undergoing something I’ve never seen in my lifetime … and I hope that I will never see anything like this again in my lifetime … however long that might be. In two months, everything has been turned upside down and inside out as ...read more

    Sin can sometimes pounce upon you and destroy you in one fell swoop … or it can quietly, silently eat away at your heart and soul. Achan's story in Joshua 7 can show us what happens when we try to hide or bury our sin.

    We’ve all heard the question: “How do you boil a frog?” And the answer is: “One degree at a time.” Now … scientifically, it turns out that that’s not true. When the water gets hot enough, the frog will jump out of the water. How do you destroy a person’s soul? Answer: One sin at a ...read more

    Jesus stands before Roman’s highest and most powerful representative in Judea, Samaria, and Idumea. Pontus Pilate looks at Him with a mixture of curiosity and annoyance.

    When you diligently, meticulously, carefully, obediently and sincerely keep doing the right and good things – light shines and life starts to change for better!

    Is that for the plants? Job 14:7"For there is hope for a tree, When it is cut down, that it will sprout again, And its shoots will not fail.” Hope for a tree! I saw the plants dying from the look of the shriveled leaves, with fungus on them, a novice in the field of gardening, I asked my ...read more

    In order to have hope, we must believe in something. It is not something given by man - which is why Jesus said, “Come to me”. Where do you find hope? What do you choose to satisfy you when the chaos of the world invades your life?

    We all need hope. Here I’m touching on how Hope is like a light. It should give us optimism, transform our lives, and reminds us of our inheritance.

    Regardless of troubles, we have much cause to rejoice. The Lord is going to be with us until we die, then we will move in the house with Him. This old world is not heaven, but there is a heaven, and if we are saved, we are as sure for heaven as if we were already there.
