And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

Have you seen the old cartoons where there are two figures on each shoulder of a character trying to convince them the right actions or path to go? One is depicted as an angel, and the other as a devil.  This visual picture is a daily battle for every human being in this world. It is easy to say that we believe in God. The question is, do we believe in God or know of God?  What does it mean to profess that God through Jesus

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

Weekly Reflection Hebrews 11:6 NIV

For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come. 

This passage brought me to the story in Luke 16:19-31 about the Rich Man and Lazarus. As we are cruising in this world, living our lives, which side of the Chasm or in simple terms the great void is your permanent home?  You can avoid the fact that there is an end for each of us on this earth, but that does not erase the fact that your soul has a destination according to the personal choices that you make while living on this earth. Jesus says the day will come, “But about that day or hour no

For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come.

Weekly Reflection Hebrews 13:14-15- NLT

Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.

This week we will be celebrating Thanksgiving in the United States. I hope every day is a Thanksgiving Day for each of us because Jesus died and rose from the dead so that we can be set free from the bondage of sins. That is a gift we should be thankful for every day! Nonetheless, it is something special when a nation allows a national day to focus on

Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.

Weekly Reflection Hebrews 12:14-15 NIV

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.

Have you found yourself working hard to remain focused on the promises of God?  Let’s be real! Saying that God is faithful and trusting God’s faithfulness during trials are very different.  Jesus understood how much faith it takes for us to hold on to God’s promise when he addressed doubting Thomas.  “Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed” (John20:29).

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.

Weekly Reflection Hebrews 10:23 NIV

The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.

Do you want to know the intimate part of God? Spend time with Jesus who is God's Word in the flesh (John 1:1-14).  Is your life falling apart where nothing seems to be working out? Allow Jesus who is the sustaining force of all things and powerful words to transform your life (Hebrews 4:12-13). Jesus is ready to change your

The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
