We are impressed by the statement Paul made while in prison: “To live is Christ.” (Philippians 1:21). Few among us can make that statement and sound believable. Some of us may sound truthful when we say, “To live is sports,” or “To live is career,” or “To live is money.”

Why I am a Christian
Posted 1110 days ago byRecently I was asked, “Why are you a Christian?” The question was not why I had decided to obey the gospel, but rather why I am a Christian and not a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Hindu or a follower of some other world religion. As such religions multiply in our country this question will be asked more often, and we must be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks us (I Peter 3:15).

The Foundation of the Church
Posted 1110 days ago byJesus said, “On this rock I will build my church.” Peter had just identified Him as “the Christ, the Son of the living God,” and this truth was the rock on which the church was to be built. The church that Jesus built is an invisible assembly of people—people in all the world who have truly accepted Jesus as the Christ the Son of God.

Christ and Family
Posted 1115 days ago byChrist gives us a great example of how to deal with our phyiscal family members. We often hold our family in high esteem and don’t want anything to get in the way, but Christ showed that he is even more important than family ties.
Picking Through the Garbage
Posted 1219 days ago byJesus endured the stench and the smell of the world as He picked through the garbage to find those precious souls that God sent Him to earth to find. Jesus died on the cross, shedding His precious blood, that He might cleanse and sanctify them, so they might not have “spot or wrinkle or any such thing,” but that they might be “holy and without blemish” (Ephesians 5:27).

His name is Jesus. And I know Him and He knows me. He’s my Lord, my Savior, and my Redeemer. He’s my life, my joy, and my all in all. He died for my sins and rose to give me new life. He’s coming back someday to take me home.
And I ask you, “Do you know Him?”
