Persecution & Perseverance

Scripture teaches that all who desire to live godly lives in Christ will face persecution. While opposition increases in our culture, many believers around the world endure far greater suffering, and their faith challenges us to stand firm and support them.

Corruption

Judges 21:24-25 – The people of God progressively pushed against the ways of God and pursued the ways of the world. The further they drifted, the more apparent their need for a Savior was.

Ordinary People with Extraordinary Causes

Esther 9:20-10:3 – After deliverance came celebration, and faithful servants helped preserve the story. God uses ordinary people who say yes to extraordinary causes for His glory.

Reconciled to Reconcile

We all know what it’s like to be wounded, but what about when we’ve been the ones who caused the pain? Jesus shows us a path toward peace, even when reconciliation feels out of reach.

The Pressure to Post

In a world where every voice fights to be heard, I used to feel like silence meant failure. I thought people needed my opinion on every breaking story. But constant commentary led to constant anxiety. Eventually, I realized the world didn’t need my post; it needed my presence.

The Starting Line

Discipleship begins at conversion. If we want to see lives truly transformed, we must move beyond making converts to developing disciples who walk with Jesus and help others do the same.

Politics & Principles

Christians should engage in civic life without losing sight of their higher allegiance to Christ. Our goal is not to be partisan but to be principled, standing on Scripture rather than any political platform.

Disarming the Enemy

Esther 9:1-19 – Instead of suffering defeat, God’s people gained ground. When God fights for you, no enemy can stand.

The Real Measure of a Young Man

Every young man wants to grow stronger, smarter, and more respected, but Jesus shows us how to grow the right way. In Luke 2:52, we see the real measure of a young man is not in his age or achievements, but in his wisdom, character, and walk with God.

Taming the Scroll

Social media isn’t evil, but it isn’t innocent either. It can inspire you toward godliness or drag you into distraction. If you want your life to count, you have to take control of your scroll.
