No Middle Ground

Opening Scripture: “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters” (Matthew 12:30). Have you ever noticed how easy it is to want a comfortable kind of faith? We may want enough of Jesus to feel secure, but still hold on to our own way. Yet Jesus speaks very clearly to our hearts:…

When Laws Become Weapons: A Biblical Call for Justice

How to Know God’s Heart Through Prayer and Scripture

You cannot truly know God’s heart or understand His love for humanity if you do not seek Him or spend time in His Word. God is not hiding from us. He wants to be known.

True justice in God’s eyes is more than punishing what is wrong. It is about doing what is right, loving mercy, and treating people with fairness, compassion, and dignity. God does not only care about laws and rules. He cares about our hearts, our actions, and the way we treat people—especially those who are weak, forgotten, or treated unfairly.  It…

Faith and Doubt: Trusting God When We Cannot See Everything

Faith does not mean we have every answer. Faith means we place our hearts in God’s hands, even when the road ahead is not clear. We are human, so our understanding is limited.

Following Jesus vs. Political Leaders: A Heart Commitment

And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me.” — Luke 9:23  There is a big difference between following Christ and following a political leader or a political party.

Call to Me: Receiving the Unsearchable Things of God
