Understanding the connection between our words and what is happening inside our hearts Have you ever said something and immediately thought, “Where did that come from?” Maybe it was a sharp reply, a careless joke, a complaint, or words you wished you could take back. We have all had moments when our mouth revealed something our heart was carrying. Jesus…
“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”(James 1:27) Religion is supposed to help us grow closer to God and closer to one another. At its best, faith teaches us to be humble, kind, forgiving, generous, and loving. It…
Discernment is one of the most important gifts we need in this present time. Jesus rebuked the people of His day because they could read the weather but could not understand the spiritual meaning of the moment they were living in.

For a long time, many evangelical Christians warned that liberal churches had become too much like the…
God created the world with beauty, order, goodness, and purpose. Everything He made was meant to reflect His love, wisdom, and glory (Genesis 1:1; Genesis 1:31). People were created to know God, walk with Him, care for His creation, and live in peace with one another (Genesis 1:26–28). But when sin entered the world, it damaged what God had made…
