So Why Are Bad Things Happening To Good People? Series

Contributed by Alis Cerrahyan on Jul 9, 2019

Trying to get even with the enemy will turn a simple lesson in humility into a huge humiliation which is never God's plan for us. So the sooner we walk away from our oppressor without any retaliation; the sooner we give God the opportunity to right the wrong.

God created a special place for his beloved children: the garden of Eden where we were meant to have an eternal fellowship with him. He made us after his own image and decorated us with his own attributes such as the ability to think; reason; speak; create; love; increase; experience the many ...read more

A Victorious Life Through Christ Series

Contributed by Alis Cerrahyan on Jul 16, 2019

Unless we learn to take full responsibility for our own actions and stop blaming others -including Satan- for our poor choices; we will never be able to come before God with a repentant heart. And that's the most essential element for our salvation.

God knows every detail concerning our physical, emotional, and mental conditions. None of our truth, whether told or untold, is ever hidden from our omniscient Father who knew us before we were conceived; He already knows our last breath on this earth; and every dot in between. Psalm 139:13 reads, ...read more

Do You Really Want To Help Your Child Some More? Series

Contributed by Alis Cerrahyan on Jul 18, 2019

Through daily prayers and supplications we must ask God to help us reclaim that which we might have lost along the way. As we aim to establish an internal peace with repentance ; we'll see that even some of the turmoils revolving around our children's lives start dissipating one by one.

Our soul where a myriad of experiences continue to leave a mark on a daily basis -some great and some pretty awful -is also the venue from which we reason with things and respond to things. The greatest accomplishment a person can achieve is when he or she is able to process life's distasteful ...read more

Are You Using All Your Resources? Series

Contributed by Alis Cerrahyan on Jul 31, 2019

Our God who is not bound by space or time has closed every gap there is by sending Jesus, his only begotten Son to this fallen place; just so we'll have every resource we could possibly need in order to conquer all obstacles. Either we are for the Lord or we are not! It is as simple as that!

God did not make us to be a part of this demanding lifestyle, to struggle through it and to be swayed by its complexities, and to be buried eternally without even a trace of our spiritual identity. If this is what we think life is all about; we really don't know a thing about God's ...read more

How Rooted Are You In God's Word? Series

Contributed by Alis Cerrahyan on Aug 13, 2019

Unfortunate circumstances cannot and should not define who we are. It's what we choose to do with them that determines the outcome. We either believe in God wholeheartedly or we don't. Even a tiny doubt can taint our faith in his supremacy.

It would be fair to say that the following statement is not even believable: "I've never encountered any hardships; nor have I known anyone with evil intentions!" If we are a part of this world, whether a child, an adolescent, or an adult; we have tasted dysfunctions somewhere along ...read more

The Deserts And The Dark Valleys Are Temporary

Contributed by Alis Cerrahyan on Oct 17, 2019

The level of safety and satisfaction we get from our new position as servants of God cannot be measured with money or certificates.

If you haven't been through a dark time lately, you're about to! Though we dread the idea of it, we still can't forget the innermost joyous celebration we got to taste the last time we made it through one of those challenging times.
