How to Recognize False Teaching Through Spiritual Discernment

Spiritual discernment means being able to know the difference between truth and error, good and evil, and sound teaching and false teaching. God does not want His people to believe everything they hear. He wants us to test every message by His Word.  First John 4:1 says, “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are…

Joy in the Beatitudes: Finding Faithfulness in Hard Seasons

Scripture Focus: “Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven.” — Matthew 5:12 When Jesus taught the Beatitudes, He was not talking about the kind of life most people think is successful.

James 3:17 tells us that the wisdom that comes from God is first pure, then peace-loving, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and sincere.

Being a Christian Is More Than a Label Part 2

Part 2: Faith Must Be Lived Out Every Day  Faith is not meant to be something we only talk about. It is meant to be something we live. That is why obedience matters. Jesus said, “If you love me, keep my commandments” (John 14:15). Obedience is not about pretending to be perfect or acting better than other people. It is about loving God enough…
