If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. — James 1:5 We are living in uncertain times. Many people are asking, “What is happening?” and “What should I do?” The good news is that God has not left us without help. He invites us…
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” — 2 Corinthians 5:17 Your identity in Christ is one of the most important truths you can know. It means understanding who God says you are, not just who people say you are, what your past says about…
Christian nationalism can be hard to make sense of because it uses the language of Christianity to support ideas and actions that often do not reflect the heart of the gospel. That is what makes it so perplexing. It becomes even more concerning when its beliefs and behavior are placed next to biblical truth. When we compare political ideology with…
“One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.” — Ecclesiastes 1:4 “And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.” — 1 John 2:17 Life moves like a river.

They were going to the Temple, offering sacrifices, and saying holy words, but their lives were full of stealing, lying, violence, idolatry, and injustice (Jeremiah 7:9–11). They thought being near a holy building made…

Buildings can be grand, rooms can be decorated, clothes can be impressive, and people can carefully present themselves in ways that look successful, polished, and put together. But the outside of a thing does not always tell the truth about what is happening on the inside. A…
James 4:4 is one of the strongest wake-up calls in the New Testament: “Friendship with the world is enmity with God.” At first glance, that can sound confusing—or even harsh. Does it mean Christians should avoid people? Does it mean enjoying life is wrong? Not at all. In simple terms, James is warning believers not to let a God-opposing value…
As you read these words, my prayer is that the Holy Spirit will breathe life into the truth of Scripture and awaken your heart to the reality of who God is. The Word of God makes it plain: His thoughts are not our thoughts, and His ways are not our ways. He does not move according to human wisdom, natural…
As you read these words, I pray that the Holy Spirit will breathe upon the Scriptures and cause them to burn within you. This is an time for the people of God to awaken and discern that the Lord does not move according to the wisdom of men. His thoughts are not our thoughts, and His ways are not our…
