Our Refuge!
What uncertain times we are living in. Things are changing day by day, minute by minute.
There are no certainties in this life – well, I should not say that because we do have some. The Bible and what it says is a certainty, the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ is a certainty, Jesus’ returning is a certainty, promises in the Bible are certainties, believing in Jesus Christ and going to heaven is a certainty, and not believing in Jesus Christ and going to hell is a certainty. These are all certainties. Whether we believe them as truth or not, they are still true.
So with Jesus in our life all the changeable seasons really do not matter to us because our God is not changeable. The promise of Him as my refuge is still the certainty I rely on and not what is going on or what the media has to say. “The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms; He will thrust out the enemy from before you, and will say, ‘Destroy!’” (Deuteronomy 33:27)
A refuge is a place of safety for animals. Likewise, for Christians our refuge in God is a place of safety from all the traps and snares of the enemy.

I am somewhat of a new believer. I struggle with who I am and my past HUGE mistakes. How do I get beyond all of this?
Many people are confused by this question. But before I answer it, I want to make clear that there is a real heaven and a real hell! Everyone goes to one place or the other—their choice! So, no, everyone does not go to heaven, but everyone will go somewhere when they die.
Will people always speak in tongues after getting saved?
My life is a mess! I know I have done so many things wrong. I have hurt so many people. I call myself a Christian, so how do I make all this right?

So many horrible things are happening in our world today—children and adults gunned down in the middle of prayer, lives being destroyed by wars, famines, floods, fires, absolute madness– and if we allow ourselves to focus totally on these things, fear can totally take over and then we will become victims instead of a v
We are eternal beings, and we shall live for eternity somewhere! If we think we are saved, we are not! We must KNOW without a shadow of a doubt that we are born from above and have both an earthly address and a heavenly address. This is done by accepting Jesus as our Savior and living for HIM!
I see so many believers focusing on world events and the despair in our world. That may well be a focus for the unbeliever but certainly not for a believer! If we read our manual for success (Bible) and obey what it is teaching us, then we will have all our focus on Jesus and the cross! Jesus did everything for us on t
The Lord speaks to us through His manual for success (Bible). But are we listening? We are living in very evil times, but we can also see revival among people if we watch Christian News. When people get saved in great numbers, we need to pray for them to truly get connected. A merely emotional experience is not becoming born again. Conversion is believing that the Lord Jesus Christ went to the cross, died, and rose again, and we ask Him to forgive our sin.
