The 23rd Psalm, one of the most well-known passages in the Bible, is a picture of Jesus as the Shepherd and our Lord that cares for us. This is a promise to us that God will take care of us. What does a shepherd do? He is responsible to protect the sheep; there are lots […]
One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. Proverbs 18:24 (NIV) Anyone who has any friends at all knows that they can sometimes be your enemy. A friend is someone who should be on your side all of the time. When bad things […]
God can do anything He wants, like raining down stuffed animals, so why doesn’t He do it? The Bible tells us that God is a god of order. He doesn’t do things that would take away from the work He wants to do on the earth like save people. For God is not a God […]
Jesus told His disciples to “go into all the world and preach the gospel” (Mark 16:15). The definition of a disciple is “a follower of Jesus” and “a follower or student of a teacher or leader.” We know that Jesus had 12 disciples when he walked the earth, and His initial command to “go into […]

If God had a fridge, your picture would be on it. The Bible says that God made us and He knew us before we were born, has a plan for our lives, and He watches over us all the time. God’s love is so big we can all be His favorite child! Sometimes we feel […]
Some days it seems everywhere we go someone tells us we are messing up. It’s hard to be a kid! Believe it or not, grown-ups go through the same things. At work, the boss fusses about our work, at home the kids fuss with each other, and when we tell them it’s time for homework or […]
Even if we wash our whole body from head to toe being careful to get behind our ears, and between our toes, if our hearts aren’t clean, we aren’t clean either.
