If what we believe is true, it should show up in how we live. Not in theory or intention, but in action. It is easy to say something matters. It is much harder to live like it does. Most of us would say our faith matters, that God matters, and that what Jesus accomplished matters. Yet when I step back …
Feeding on the Word Daily
You’ve probably heard the saying that if you repeat a lie often enough, it eventually begins to sound like the truth. But what happens when the truth is repeated again and again? What effect does that have on those who hear it consistently? To answer that, we need look no further than God’s Word, the Bible. In John 17:17, Jesus …
Jesus’s Gethsemane Choice
Jesus of Nazareth was no ordinary human. He was extraordinary in every way, and he demonstrated the depth of his godly character throughout his life. This section of Hebrews is just one of many biblical testimonies to the depth of Jesus’ commitment to loving God and people. The author of Hebrews, after providing multiple examples of believers who lived and …
Rising from the Dead
There is one problem every human being shares, no matter their background, beliefs, or achievements. It is not failure, suffering, or even sin at the deepest level—it is death. Death stands as the unavoidable conclusion to every human life, the silent force that has claimed kings and commoners alike, generation after generation. No one has negotiated with it, reasoned with …
The Empty Tomb
Every spring, this season arrives with baskets of candy, brightly colored eggs, and the familiar image of a cheerful bunny. Families gather, children hunt for hidden treats, and store shelves fill with pastel decorations. For many people, these traditions have become the defining images of the season. But those images have little to do with the event that changed the …
Knowing Isn’t Enough
Over the years I’ve begun to notice a dangerous misconception taking root among believers, the idea that understanding the Word of God is the same as living it. It has taught me a simple but sobering truth: knowing the Word of God isn’t enough. Information alone doesn’t change a life. Agreement alone doesn’t produce faithfulness. Unless truth actually moves us to act, …
Peace In The Midst Of Chaos
Chaos is no match for our God. From the first pages of the Bible, we read of His power over chaos. When the whole planet was without form and void, God’s spirit brooded over the chaotic waters and overcame them. He brought light into the darkness and land for humans out of the waters. Our God is the Master of …
From Creation to Completion
Scripture presents history as a single, intentional work of God—from beginning to end. The Bible does not record a series of disconnected events, but the unfolding of one deliberate purpose. Scripture does not move toward uncertainty, but toward the fulfillment of God’s original intent for creation. What God begins, He brings to completion. Even in the face of rebellion meant …
The Freedom Found in Forgiveness
Forgiveness may be one of the hardest things God calls us to practice, whether toward others or toward ourselves. It doesn’t mean excusing evil or pretending nothing happened. It’s the deliberate, God-honoring choice to release resentment, let go of the desire for revenge, and trust our heavenly Father with justice. Even the world around us recognizes what Scripture has long …
The Permanence of Salvation
One of the most pressing questions believers wrestle with today is simple — is salvation truly secure, or is it something that must be maintained through continued faithfulness, obedience, or perseverance? For many sincere Christians, salvation has quietly shifted from a finished work of God into a fragile arrangement dependent on human consistency. The result is often uncertainty instead of …
