There are two states of physical and spiritual distinctions in the world, darkness and light. The first, darkness is the territory of Satan, the evil one. while the second, light, is the territory of Christ, the author of LIGHT! Unfortunately, Satan has made many of us to live in darkness because of our evil deeds, and he makes us afraid of the light, because if we come to the light our evil deeds will be exposed, and we will be seen for the kind of person we truly are. And that's why a lot of people refuse to turn to Jesus, for they afraid of their evil deeds being exposed and then suffering the consequences of those deeds. For let's not forget that serious and continual sin will be punished. That's why it's widom of the highest order to keep our deeds clean and come to the light of Jesus, so that we can spend eternity with Him. Much LOVE!

Our world is currently in a state of disaster that's fuelled by disobedience to the basic social laws of society. And how we expect to last any length of time with such widespread disobedience, I truly don't know, because a stable society is only achieved by basic obedience to the rules of the society. And even more so, as believers in Christ Jesus, we need to obey His word if we desire to find rest with Him throughout eternity. Remember, He is the way, the truth and the life, the ONLY way for us to achieve eternal life, to end up at the pearly gates of heaven and see God face to face! Much LOVE!

Oh friends, this world is filled with so much deceit and unfaithfulness that it's really difficult to navigate it with any sense of safety and security. However, the Lord God Almighty, our Creator and Controller is faithful despite our evil doings and unfaithfulness! He is the ONLY ONE to whom we can ever look to for true faithfulness, because He has nothing to prove or gain by being unfaithful. Thus it behooves us to put our trust in Him, if we truly want to experience faithfulness in this unfaithful world, that's growing more so with every passing day! Simple wisdom dictates it! Much LOVE!

We all talk a good talk, but are less than able to back it up with true faith. We forget what the Lord has done for us when new storms confront us and cry out faithlessly for help. But friends, that's the purpose of Jesus bringing us through the storms; to raise the level of our faith, so that the next time we're not as antsy and fearful as the time before. If coming through each storm successfully doesn't build our faith, then we're sadly lacking something; that's true belief in Christ Jesus, for with each successful experience our faith ought to grow. So please, let's stop being so weak and faithless, and instead sincerely put our true trust in Christ and thus grow in genuine faith with each new storm that He brings us through! That's the way of the true believer! Much LOVE!

This world is a crazy place, with all kinds of evil and deceit, which means we have to be careful how we walk in it. However, as believers in Christ Jesus, we have the options of surender, trust and prayer in His mighty name. And if we are wise, we will use every ounce of it that we can, because He is the ONLY ONE who can truly help us in our times of need, and in these turbulent and topsy-turvy days, our times of need are greater than ever. So please, let's wake up and smell the roses, the roses that grow and proliferate in our gardens when we have Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour! That's eternal wisdom! Much LOVE!

We came into this world with nothing, and when we die, we won't take anything with us either. That means all the money and material wealth we strive after and pile up is left right here for others to waste and fight over! And the sad part is that while piling up the worldly wealth we usually forget about and ignore God and all the things He believers are necessary for us to prosper in His righteous kingdom. That means when we die without God, or without doing stuff that pleases Him, we'll end up in Hades with Satan, eternally separated from the heavenly Father. And believe me, that is the worst fate that can ever befall a human being, because it means eternal death and damnation in Satan's company! So please, let's be wise and stop running down the corruptible treasures of the world, and instead, start accumulating the incorruptible treasures of heaven! Much LOVE!

When the Lord made us, He gave us certain commands to which He expects us to adhere. These commands or commandments' are all for our benefit. Meaning, if we follow them then our lives will be blessed with peace, abundance, joy and LOVE! Likewise, if we don't follow them, then our lives will be filled with misery and unhappiness. It's a simple do as I say and prosper, don't do as I say and suffer. And the first step in it all, is to have a reverential awe of God, which allows us to acquire wisdom, so that we can know what the Lord expects of us, and thus live the way He desires us to live. And it's all written there for us in God's Word, the Bible. That means we have to read and study the Bible so we can know what He expects of us! Much LOVE!

God made us to have good fellowship and communion with us. But as the ole people says, it takes two to tango, which means that if we're not in fellowship with God, then our lives won't be running as smoothly as they can. And with the evil and ungodly state of our current world, it's even more necessary that we communicate sincerely and seriously with our Maker, for He's the ONLY ONE who can mitigate our troubles, if we take then to Him, and give us peace and contentment in our daily lives. Remember, all that God does is for our benefit, which means that the onus is on us to go to Him, not Him come to us. And until many more of us recognize that very important fact, our lives will be forever filled with more trouble than necessary! Much LOVE!

Our earthly tomorrows never seem to come, but the eternal one with Christ certainly will! He's promised it, and like everything else He's promised, He's faithful to perform. That's why we can look forward to a time when there's no more death, pain, crying, sorrow and those negative earthly things. When Christ takes over, it will be all peace and LOVE and joy. But that means you have to believe in and live for Him now, or else you won't be around to enjoy the good times eternally. Much LOVE!

Christ gave His life so that we could be saved from our sins, the least we can therefore do is give our life to do his work. Not be ashamed of Him and His gospel and stand up strong and fight the evil world on His behalf. Remember too, that is also to our benefit, so that we can spend eternity with Him in heaven, rather than with Satan in the fires of hell. And if we deny Him, He will also deny us before His heavenly Father. So please, let's be wise and do the right thing; that's stand strong for Jesus and fight the good fight for Him! Much LOVE!
