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 …
Are You Missing Jesus?
How often have I wished that Jesus were here with me—in the flesh—especially when life feels overwhelming and the challenges seem too great to carry alone. In those moments, it feels like nothing would be better than having him right beside me. Yet at the Last Supper, Jesus said something that cuts directly across that mindset: “Nevertheless, I tell you …
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 …
Taking the Self Out of Low Self-Esteem
Rich Robson taught on addressing low self-esteem by removing the “self” from self-esteem and returning to what God says. Rather than seeking validation through behavior or the opinions of others, he emphasized that believers are justified by God through Jesus Christ. True righteousness is not earned through performance; it is given by grace. Building on 1 Corinthians 4:3–4, Rich explained …
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 …
What is the Abundant Life?
Many prosperity teachers rely on John 10:10 as a foundational text for pursuing “the abundant life,” often using it to springboard into isolated verses—frequently stripped of context—to suggest that the Christian life should be an ever-increasing climb of health, wealth, and unending success. Yet, this message conveniently ignores passages like John 16:33, where Jesus plainly warns, “In this world you …
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 …
