Everywhere we look, some kind of tragedy is taking place. In other nations, in America, and closer to home, even in our own towns. The enemy is causing disaster, despair, and destruction of property and lives.

I lived without Jesus Christ in my life for many years, and I cannot imagine living without Him now! Without Jesus, there is no eternal purpose to life. Oh, we might have things going the way we want at the moment, but no Jesus, no hope for eternity. Eternity is a very long time so we all need to give serious thought to where we are going to spend it.


But putting one’s trust in Jesus brings a great purpose! No matter what happens, good or bad, believers have hope and Jesus is His name! When we understand this truth and live this truth, we are to share this truth with others. We must be ready to bring encouragement to others, lifting those who are in need or are beaten down by life. We all need encouragement to continue going forward when overwhelming situations arise.


The Lord encourages us throughout our journey with Him. Christ has already overcome the world and won the victory for us. He gave us our manual for success (Bible) full of His promises for our faith to arise causing good courage to overcome all. So let’s get in His Word today and stand on His promises, and encourage those around us to do the same!


So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. Acts 20:32

I think I'm saved...

By Dr. Judy Baus • January 8, 2025
Well, let me start with the most important thing you bring up. I noticed the word I THINK in your question. Just because you go to church does not mean you are a born-again believer.

Wilderness

By Dr. Judy Baus • March 10, 2025
Have you ever thought about the word “wilderness” and what that means for the Christian and the non-Christian? To be a Christian we must believe—which is to trust and have confidence that Jesus Christ died on the cross for the sins of the world and rose again! Romans 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Stay Watchful

By Dr. Judy Baus • February 2, 2025
STAY WATCHFUL! I am sure we can all agree, 2025 started off with much tragedy and woe! Terrorist attacks killing many, devastating fires in the LA area, a horrible plane and helicopter collision, and another plane crash two days later! Many families in mourning. Truly, the devil is out to steal, kill, and destroy, and sadly, he’s doing a good job at it. But remember, our Lord is far greater than the devil, and He is ultimately in control.

Life with God after salvation!

By Dr. Judy Baus • January 8, 2025
Christianity 101—Life with God after Salvation We are living in very tough times that are only getting harder. As followers of Jesus, we should be strong in the Lord and full of faith, experiencing the God of the impossible. But are we? Jesus said in Matthew 19:26, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” I believe Jesus is looking at us and our fellowships and asking if we truly believe this. Are we living this Scripture out to a watching world?

Come out from among them!

By Dr. Judy Baus • December 20, 2024
We are living in some very dark, wild times. Our manual for success (the Bible) tells us to know the seasons in which we live. We must be alert and watchful and know and understand how our success manual tells us to have success.
