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 …
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 …
Unwrapping the Mystery: The Truth of Christ’s Birth
Every December, people around the world celebrate what they call “the Christmas story.” Yet the real account of Christ’s birth, as recorded in Scripture, is far more beautiful and precise than the traditions that have accumulated over time. Understanding the truth about Jesus’ birth shows not only the humility of his arrival but also the greatness of God’s plan of …
Pick A Side: The Choice We Can’t Avoid
Life is about choices. Every day we make small ones that shape our routines, and great ones that define our destiny. But above every human decision looms the greatest choice of all—the one Jesus set before all humanity. His mission was not to give people a new philosophy or a religious option. His mission was to confront the world with …
Three Times a Day: Living in Prayer
In recent months, something has been stirring within the Board of Trustees of The Living Truth Fellowship. Over the past few years, each of us has been drawn into a deeper focus on prayer. It wasn’t planned, and it was never discussed, yet prayer has become the center of our lives. Just a few weeks ago, Marc reminded us that …
How Big Is Your God
When I first confessed Jesus as Lord, I didn’t realize I was stepping into a life where suffering might come with the territory. Today, believers around the world are experiencing this reality, and signs of it are increasingly present here in the United States. Stories of Christians facing hostility for standing firm in their faith are no longer rare—they are …
A Dangerous Prayer
The character Maverick, the F-14 pilot in Top Gun, and King David had something in common—neither was afraid to take the highway to the danger zone. Maverick defied authority, often putting himself and others at risk. His reckless maneuvers and tendency to abandon his wingman showed a pride-driven disregard for limits. King David, however, entered the danger zone out of humility. …
Humility To God Is Service To Humanity
Gary Lee Corns emphasized the importance of humility and service, using Jesus’ example of washing the disciples’ feet to illustrate how true Christianity is expressed. He taught that following Jesus involves loving and serving others, rather than focusing on church growth, programs, or simply accumulating knowledge. Obedience to Christ’s commandments, such as those in the Sermon on the Mount, leads …
