Our witness should cause people to look past us to Christ, the true Light. Whether we are doing really well spiritually or not, they should be pointed to the grace, love, forgiveness, and mercy of Christ.   John 1:6-13 - 6  There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.  7  He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him.  8  He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.   9  The true light, which gives light to

Have you ever had one of those moments where everything changes in an instant? Imagine this: you're sitting in a doctor’s office, and the words hit like a freight train—“You have cancer. You may only have six months to live.” Your world collapses. Then suddenly, the phone rings again: “I’m so sorry, I was looking at the wrong file. That’s not your report.” In just a few moments, despair turns into unspeakable relief. Fear gives way to joy. Death gives way to life.

Trust that divine defense is never absent, delayed, or neglected, but only sovereignly timed to secure our future and to seal our...

Growing up in a home where emotions were either ignored or punished, I learned to bottle things up. Vulnerability got you yelled at. Emotional honesty led to pain. So, I took control — of my feelings, of my problems, and of my life. And on the surface, that seemed like a good thing. People even praised it. But over time, I came to realize something much deeper was going on. This drive for control became more than a coping mechanism — it became an idol. Worse, it distorted my

In a world where evil often feels loud and relentless, how do we hold on to hope? Psalm 14 gives us a powerful answer—but maybe not in the way we’d expect. When David writes in verses 5–7, he doesn't describe a miraculous deliverance. He doesn’t say, “And then God showed up, defeated the wicked, and everything was fine.” There’s no resolution to the problem yet. But what is there is even more powerful: the promise of God’s presence and the certainty of His justice.

Allow the Holy Spirit to show you, through the hurts in your life, the idols and unbelief in your heart and path to repentance.   Matthew...

In the story of Esther, there’s a moment of profound courage and divine providence that teaches us what it means to live and act by faith as we handle tough situations. By the time we reach Esther 7:3, the king has already asked Esther three times to share her wish and request. From the king’s perspective, there’s no guarantee she will ever speak up. But we, as readers, understand this moment is different. We know it's time. Why? Because of what unfolded in chapter 6.
