Asking God For Help When It Seems Others Need It More
There’s more in the news lately about the horrendous atrocities regarding the persecution of Christians in certain parts of the world. The barbaric behavior of some religious fanatics is taking cruelty to new heights. Our brothers and sisters in those parts of the world need our prayers, to say the least.
So with all that going on, does it seem like their needs are a much bigger priority than your needs or mine? Our lives are not in danger. Do we really need to bother our heavenly Father with our needs right now, with all that is going on elsewhere?
As a parent, if one child is hurt and needs medical attention,
This morning, I was privileged to be interviewed on Greg Backes’ radio show, on WBIG in Chicago.
During this time of year we are mindful of the sufferings that Jesus Christ endured on our behalf. We reflect on the price paid for the redemption of mankind.
In this short video (3:16) I point out three different versions of Isaiah 52:14, a verse that very graphically prophesied the extreme physical punishment that Jesus would endure for all of mankind.
The great message at Easter time is that Jesus Christ is alive! God raised him from the dead to die no more.
Here in the USA, it’s a presidential election year. While this blog doesn’t focus much on politics, there’s a political phrase that’s been bandied about for a number of years: redistribution of wealth. Many say it has a connection with Christianity including the teachings of Jesus. Really?

I really enjoyed reading Roger’s book. It is simple, straightforward, and very practical. It not only answers questions Christians have asked about finances, but it adds a vital dimension and perspective few talk about. I highly recommend it!
What would you call an extremely religious man so committed to his beliefs that he goes about seeking to find and murder those who do not hold the same beliefs? A fanatical terrorist? It sounds a lot like the kind of things we hear going on today, but I’m actually talking about someone who lived quite some time ago.
I’m talking about a man whose mission in life was to seek and find Christians, arrest them, and then execute them. He was convinced he was doing “God’s work.” But in reality, he was responsible for murdering God’s children.
This Sunday millions celebrate, Valentines Day. So, don’t you think this a good week to talk about love? Actually, every day is a good day to talk about love.
Has anyone ever told you, “God loves you”? Maybe at times you yourself have said that to others; I certainly have said it to people many, many times. But why does God love you and me? What is it we need to do so that
It seems like not a day goes by that we don’t hear the news of someone dying. Whether it is a single fatality or multiple, we hear about death every day. Most of the time, we don’t know those who have lost their lives, but other times we hear the sad news about someone we know.
The Bible says that death is an enemy, and one day it will be destroyed. It always saddens me to hear that kind of news, regardless of whether I personally know who has lost life or not. You probably feel the same way.
