Guilt
“For the person who keeps all of the laws except one is as guilty as a person who has broken all of God’s laws.” (James 2:10 NLT) Guilt and condemnation are our lifelong companions, to some extent, even after coming to the Lord. But in Revelation 12:10 the Bible says of Satan: “For the accuserContinue reading “Guilt”
The Bridge to Forgiveness (Part 2)
“Then Peter came to Him and asked, ‘Lord, how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?’ ‘No, not seven times,’ Jesus replied, ‘but seventy times seven.’” (Matthew 18:21-22 NLT) The number seven in the Bible symbolizes completion, perfection, and divine order.

The Bridge to Forgiveness
“If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you.

Go and sin no more.’” John 8:10-11 NLT) It’s interesting to me though the Lord didn’t say to the woman some version of: “Come,Continue reading “Destroying Our Love of Sin”
Perfection
“But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.” (Matthew 5:48 NLT) Are you perfect? What is Jesus asking in the above verse? He’s asking, are you sinless, flawless, perfect in every aspect of your life and being? Of course not! And we’re quick to think: “No one is!” ButContinue reading “Perfection”
“How Can I Be Sure There Even IS a Heaven?”
“Then I looked again, and I heard the voices of thousands and millions of angels around the throne and of the living beings and the elders. And they sang in a mighty chorus: ‘Worthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered – to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory andContinue reading ““How Can I Be Sure There Even IS a Heaven?””
When We Die
“Remember, we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. For the Scriptures say, ‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will bend to Me, and every tongue confess and give praise to God.’ Yes, each of us will give a personal account to God.” (Romans 10b-12 NLT) The Lord inContinue reading “When We Die”
