As believers in Christ Jesus, we are called to be loving, hopeful, and faithful—but we are not called to be gullible. The Bible warns us that a simple person believes everything, while a prudent person pays attention to where they are going. In plain terms, God does not want His people to be easily fooled. He wants us to listen…
How to Grow in Wisdom and Discernment First, stay rooted in Scripture. God’s Word is the standard by which every claim must be measured. If a teaching, opinion, trend, or movement contradicts Scripture, the believer must reject it, no matter how popular it may be. Second, pray for wisdom. James 1:5 tells us that if anyone lacks wisdom, they should…
We live in a time when information moves very fast. A message can travel around the world in seconds. A headline can make people afraid before anyone has checked the facts. A confident speaker can sound right, even when what they are saying is not true. That is why the Bible’s warning against gullibility is still very important today. The Bible does not…
God is not the God of one race, one nation, one culture, or one kind of person. He is the God of all people. His love is bigger than our backgrounds, wider than our opinions, and stronger than the walls people build between each other. Sometimes we act as if God belongs more to people who look like us, think…
A plainspoken call to face racial injustice, love the stranger, and return to the God who made every person in His image. Theme Verse: “And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth.” — Acts 17:26 America cannot say it honors God while treating people made in God’s image as…
Does God’s sovereignty matter to most Christians today? If we are honest, the answer may be uncomfortable. Many Christians talk about God being in control, but live as if His authority makes no difference. Even worse, many churches are filled with religious talk while the clear gospel of Jesus Christ is barely preached. Paul’s words in Romans 10 expose the problem: “How…
When we say that God is sovereign, we simply mean that God is in charge. He is not weak, confused, surprised, or limited. He is the Creator, the King, and the final authority over everything He has made. Nothing in heaven or on earth is outside His knowledge, His power, or His permission. The Bible says, “Yours, O Lord, is…
This warning also speaks to the church of Jesus Christ today. Sometimes a church can choose a way that seems right because it keeps people comfortable, avoids hard conversations, fills seats, and makes the message sound easier to accept. But if the message is no longer the full truth of Jesus, then it may be popular, but it is not…
Galatians 5:15 gives us a serious but simple warning: “If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.” That warning does not only apply to families, churches, or friendships. It also speaks to nations. When political leaders, parties, and citizens spend more time attacking one another than solving problems, the whole country…
