When You Doubt God’s Forgiveness

“The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart—these, O God, You will not despise.” Psalm 51:17 (NKJV) Whether you were saved at age 12, or accepted Christ as your Savior as an adult, you may have sinned many times since then. Your sins may be so terrible that they lead you to despair and cause you to believe that there is no way God will ever forgive you. You may wonder if you are still saved. But what does Scripture say about God’s forgiveness? The disciple Peter asked Jesus to call to him as […]

Why They See Jesus in Us

“For you were formerly darkness, but now you are a light in the Lord; walk as children of light.” Ephesians 5:7 (NASB) Just because I am a born-again Christian does not mean I don’t have struggles. One that I remember clearly was when a young teenage boy had beaten up one of our sons in school with a hard object. He hurt him pretty bad. As a mother this was hard to take, but God gave me grace to forgive. Not long after this had happened, the young teen came to our home and asked for my son. At the […]

A Life That Counts

“For the Son of man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Luke 19:10 (NASB) I never thought my life was worth much while growing up in the community where I lived. It seemed that I was the only one who would never amount to anything. Those days were lonely and frustrating, as many of the other kids would make fun of me. “Why are they doing it?” I wondered. To this day, I don’t know why they did that to me. It made me feel so alone. As I look at Scripture and read about […]

Yesterday, Today, and Forever

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Hebrews 13:8 (NIV) The Bible says that God is the same yesterday, today and forever. How can you know Him? By getting into His Word. It talks about Him forgiving our sins as far as the east is from the west. They are gone forever! We sin because of our human nature. I’m not saying it’s okay, but when we sin we need to go quickly to the Lord and ask for forgiveness. God’s Word says that He is faithful to forgive our sins. He did that yesterday. He’s doing […]

Forgiveness

“And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.” John 18:25 (KJV) “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9 (KJV) Peter had just done the unthinkable! He had denied Jesus and, with a lot of swear words, insisted that he didn’t know Him. It didn’t matter that this was his closest friend on earth and, indeed, his teacher and master. Three times he […]
