Life is short -- how are you going to live it? Will you remember your Creator and live your life in the presence of God?

Someday we will die, and our bodies will return to the dust of the earth. But we still have hope! Death is not the e...

Life is a gift and a blessing from God, filled with many things that are good and sweet. God gave us many beautiful things to enjoy. But the harsh reality is that one day, our eyes will grow dim and our hair will turn gray. This is why youth, in particular, is a time to seize the day and live your life in the presence of God. Don't waste the special opportunities that the Lord has given you to make your life count now. Steward the...

We live uncertain lives with not many guarantees. There is a lot we don't know. But that doesn't shake us if we have faith in God. Rather, it gives us peace. We can never be sure about what returns we will get, or whether we will receive generosity in return for the love we show. We don't know the works of God, or how the simple facts and patterns of life work. It's not our business to know these things; and we should still be wis...

It's a sad thing when kings and rulers are childish and foolish, like Belshazzar, instead of being leaders of honor who live up to their name. The country falls apart and decays when rulers act foolish. Thankfully, the King of kings knew when it was the proper time to feast at a wedding, and when it was time for Him to go to the cross and do His Kingly duty of winning the victory over sin and death. Even when there may be plenty o...
