Luke 22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
KJV
What a wonderful thought that Jesus prays for us. But it is more than a thought, it is a Biblical truth, Jesus prays for His own. How do I know that? Because He never changes, He is the same yesterday, today and forever. If Jesus was that concerned for Peter and his upcoming trial by Satan then He […] -

Job 3:1-7 After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
2 And Job spake, and said,
3 Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.
4 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.

We who know Jesus Christ as our personal savior are not kings although we are called priests because of our relationship with Him but this verse certainly applies to us. We are given a daily rate, all that we need, for our entire lives in this world and then for eternity. It […] -

2 Cor 1:7-10 And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.
8 For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in […] -

2 Cor 1:5-6 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
6 And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.
KJV
Why do bad things happen to good people, why do the righteous suffer? Those are questions that are often asked and […] -

Acts 4:13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
KJV
Above is one of the great testimonies of the Bible, Peter and John were known as having been with Jesus. I wonder how many people can look at me and know I am a Christian by my actions, by my dress, by my speech […] -

13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

This preacher has never witnessed so many people in distress as we see today. In the political scene there is no one at peace. The liberal is coming apart, the conservative is screaming foul, all is upheaval and people are in an uproar. What of the Christian? Many are just as distressed as the […]
