The kingdom of God is holy, righteous, and just. It is not something we should use to push our own opinions, political sides, religious pride, or racial anger. Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world” (John 18:36). That means His kingdom is higher than every earthly system. It does not belong to one party, one culture, one race,…
We are seeing, in a very real way, what happens when a nation loses the fear of the Lord. The unraveling is not only political, social, or economic. It is spiritual. When people no longer honor God, truth becomes blurry, sin becomes normal, and wisdom is replaced with pride. The Bible says, “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a…
Jesus said, “So the last will be first, and the first will be last” (Matthew 20:16). This reminds us that God does not see people the way the world sees them. The world often honors the strongest, richest, loudest, or most important-looking people. But God looks at the heart. In Matthew 20:1-16, Jesus told a story about workers in a…
The freedom I discovered in my mid-thirties gave me a whole new outlook on life. It changed the way I saw myself. It helped me understand who I was, but even more, it helped me see who I am in Christ. For many years, I thought freedom meant being able to do whatever I wanted. But as I grew in…
It is troubling when people who have gained fame, platforms, and leadership in Christian circles begin to align themselves with political beliefs or movements that do not reflect the heart of God. Influence is not the same as faithfulness. A large following does not always mean a person is walking in truth. The Bible tells us plainly that God’s grace…
Christian faith grows when people hear the true message of Jesus Christ. The gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, rose again, and offers salvation to all who believe in Him (1 Corinthians 15:3–4; Romans 10:9–10). Paul said, “Faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ” (Romans 10:17). If the gospel…
We are living in a time when many nations are facing trouble, confusion, and division. It can feel like the world has lost its way. But before we only look at what is wrong around us, we must also look within. God’s Word says, “Consider your ways” (Haggai 1:5–7). This is a call to stop, think, and ask ourselves, “Are…
God is not calling us to be merely right. He is calling us to be righteous. “That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love…” (Ephesians 3:17) Being right can win an argument, but being righteous reflects Jesus. God wants more than correct words from us. He wants hearts that are surrendered,…
“Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” (Jeremiah 33:3) This is one of my favorite scriptures because it reminds me that God is not silent. He invites us to call on Him. He wants us to come close, ask, listen, and trust that He will answer in His…
