What the Bible Says About Assaulting the Truth

To “assault the truth” means to attack it, twist it, hide it, deny it, or replace it with something false. In everyday words, it is when people knowingly spread lies, cover up what is right, exaggerate facts, gossip, slander others, or make wrong look right. The Bible takes this seriously because truth is not just an idea—it is connected to…

Assaulting the Truth: A Call to Walk in God’s Light

Truth is not merely a good idea or a helpful principle. Truth belongs to God. It reflects His nature, His holiness, and His way. When we assault the truth—by twisting it, hiding it, denying it, exaggerating it, or replacing it with a lie—we are not just mishandling words; we are stepping away from the light of God. The Lord speaks…

God Is Love: A Plain-Language Message on Faith, Fairness, and Diversity  

When the Bible says, “God is love,” it means love is not just something God shows when life is easy or when we get everything right. Love is who God is.

Law, Mercy, and the Way We Treat Our Neighbors

Immigration is a difficult and emotional topic for many people. It is true that laws matter, and as a society, we should respect and uphold the laws of the land.

Healing Begins When We Tell the Whole Truth 

Real healing does not begin when people pretend everything is fine. Healing begins when the whole story is finally told—the painful parts, the uncomfortable parts, and the parts some people would rather leave out.  When a person, a family, a church, or a nation has been wounded, we cannot fix the wound by covering it with nice words. We cannot…

When the Gospel Is Missing: A Call for the Church of Christ to Return to God

A covenant relationship with God is not just about keeping religious rules or looking spiritual on the outside. In plain words, covenant means God has committed Himself to His people, and He calls His people to live committed to Him. It is a relationship built on love, trust, faithfulness, obedience, and worship from the heart. God does not treat His…

Faith or Fear? What Isaiah 7 Means for Us Today 

Isaiah 7 speaks to people living in a moment of fear. King Ahaz looked around and saw threats on every side. His nation felt unstable, his enemies seemed strong, and the future looked uncertain. That may sound familiar to many people today. In America, many are worried about politics, violence, the economy, division, morality, leadership, and the direction of the…

Isaiah’s Call to the Church Today: Faithfulness in Cultural Change

Isaiah lived in a time when God’s people were confused, divided, and drifting away from Him. They still had religion, but their hearts were far from God. They worshiped with their lips, but their lives were filled with pride, injustice, idolatry, and disobedience. Isaiah’s message was simple but serious: come back to God. Return to Him with honest hearts, humble…

The Challenges of Identity: Learning to Belong Without Building Walls, Part 2 

“So God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God He created them.” — Genesis 1:27  Before anyone else gives us a name, label, or opinion, God already sees us with love. Our identity begins with Him. Long before the world tells us who we should be, God reminds us who we already are: created in His…
