Leaning on Grace
Bible Devotions w/ Marques The Writer

James 4:17  Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin. There are a lot people that are leaning on God’s grace that will find themselves sentenced to Hell on Judgment Day. Jesus died on the cross so that our sins will be forgiven but there seems to be a grave misunderstanding on this subject and its consequences are far too great to risk. Jesus died so that we would receive grace and that our sins would be forgiven, but he did not die so that we can knowingly sin. Just because he offered salvation to us doesn’t mean that he granted us permission ..read more

Helping Others Is Not An Option

Many people come up with their own ideologies about life, the scriptures, and death which prompts them to have hypothetical conversations. Fortunately, the Bible provides insight on every aspect of life which eliminates the “guess work” for those who are diligent enough to seek out wisdom. The parable of Lazarus and the rich man spreads insight on charitable givings. This passage tells a story of a man that was very rich and also very stingy. He lived in luxury and could afford to buy anything that he wanted. Some of the finest food was served within the walls of his huge mansion. T ..read more

Occasionally, I hear people mentioning the end times.  They search scriptures, read books searching for signs.  It’s great to observe the signs, as a matter of fact, the bible instructs us to do so.  However, we shouldn’t become preoccupied with the end times to the point that we forget that the end of our life may occur first. As Christians, we have to remember that we’re only passing through this life and that Earth, in no way, is our home.  Instead, we should focus on doing God’s work.  My old Pastor used to always end his sermons saying, “It’s only what you do for Christ that will la ..read more

Dangers of Being Unequally Yoked

“Can a man take fire in his bosom And his clothes not be burned” Proverbs 6:27 It is not uncommon to see intimate relationships where the two are unequally yoked, meaning they have two different religions. Some argue that it doesn’t matter as long as they are in love. Others argue that eventually the person will convert to their religion. Being unequally yoked is a dangerous position to be in because what if instead of them converting to Christianity, you end up converting to their religion? King Solomon is a fine example of the danger of being unequally yoked. Solomon was the wisest per ..read more

The spirit of bondage is constantly seeking its next victim while trying immensely to not lose those that are already in captivity. When people create bonds with things and other people, those bonds are known as Soul Ties. Soul Ties can utterly destroy your life because it tends to trap you and make you feel like you can’t live with it but at the same time that you can’t live with out it. Your mind is saying no, but you are fighting a war in the spiritual realm that is screaming yes. It is telling you that you know that the person or situation is horrible but you’ve went too far down t ..read more

The Loss of a Loved One
Bible Devotions w/ Marques The Writer

There is a time for everything under the sun. Ecclesiastes chapter 3 tells us that there is a time for everything under the sun which includes a time to be born and a time to die. While the first is usually celebrated and the latter is mourned, we have to remember that everything is part of God’s perfect will. Long life isn’t granted as a blessing nor is a short life a curse. Our number of days are based on the time given to complete specific assignments and once that time is up, so is our earthly life. Some were created to change the world, while others were created to help other ..read more

When God Seems Absent
Bible Devotions w/ Marques The Writer

Even though we may have an active prayer life, there are times when we will face difficulties. The difficulties may be so great or so consistent that it seems like God isn’t even there. Hard times is something that we are absolutely guaranteed to have in life and there is no way to escape it. The good news though is that if God will allow you to face it, he will allow you to get through it. I have a friend that I knew for a little over ten years, name Jesse. For most of his life he seemed very blessed. He excelled in everything that he tried to do and quickly climbed the ranks at the law fi ..read more
