How can I know God’s plan for my life? A similar question that gets asked is, “How can I know God’s will for my life?” God has given us a roadmap for this: the Bible. God’s Word tells us in 1 Thessalonians 4:3a, “For this is the will of God, your sanctification.” Finding God’s will requires to things: obedience and observance.
READ MOREWhat did Jesus mean when He said, “I am the bread of life”? This was significant to the Jews because it was a reminder of what God did for them in Moses’ day. Two breads are discussed in the Old Testament that portray Jesus as the “Bread of Life”— manna and the temple showbread. Grab your Bible and let’s look at the portrait of Christ we see in the bread.
READ MOREWhat does the Bible say about doubting God? There are two areas of doubt: good doubt and bad doubt.

READ MOREThe easy answer is yes, Jesus is the Son of God, but at the same time, Jesus is God. We need to understand when answering this question that the Bible describes God for us in a way that we can grasp. Can we fully understand God? No. To fully understand God would be to put us on the same level as He is. We are in no way on the same level as God; Scripture makes that clear. Isaiah 55:9 says, “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.” However, relationships and family order are things we can grasp and understand, and God has used those things to reveal Himself to us. Get your Bible and let’s look into this a little deeper.

READ MORE(Please take note that you will need your Bible for references.) The number one way to have a strong family is to make sure each member of the family is in the proper position. Jesus is the most important member of a strong family and must come first to every other member. Next in line are mom and dad. They have their own individual roles as well, but position-wise they are next in line because they are one. (See Ephesians 5:31.) The children come after that and then any extended family. Within these positions are responsibilities for each party.
READ MOREWhat is servant leadership? Servant leadership is marked by three specific characteristics that we see in Jesus, our perfect example. These characteristics are humility, selflessness, and compassion. To see Jesus to imitate these, we don’t have to look very far into the New Testament.
