Do Not Leave God Out: A Simple Look at Psalm 127:1

Scripture: “Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.” Psalm 127:1 Psalm 127:1 gives us a simple but powerful reminder: we can work hard, make plans, and try our best, but if God is left out, our work will not produce what truly lasts.…

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.

One of Satan’s Greatest Deceptions 

One of Satan’s greatest tricks is convincing people that he is not real, that sin is not serious, and that we can decide right and wrong for ourselves without God. If he can get us to believe that, then he can make evil look harmless, make truth look old-fashioned, and make God’s loving boundaries seem like unfair restrictions.  The Bible…

Biblical View of Justice, Hypocrisy, and Politics Today

It is hard not to see the hypocrisy in justice and politics today. People often demand fairness when it helps their side, but they make excuses when their own side does wrong. Leaders talk about truth, but sometimes twist the truth when power is at stake. Some people shout about law and order, but ignore the pain of the poor,…

Politics Over Righteousness: Why America Is Becoming More Divided

“Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people.” — Proverbs 14:34 America is becoming more divided because too many people are putting politics above what is right.

Made in God’s Image: How Sin Distorts the Way We See Others

The Bible teaches that every human being was created in the image of God. This means that every person has inherent value, dignity, and worth because they reflect something of their Creator. “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” (Genesis 1:27) Before Adam disobeyed God…

Justice in the Bible: More Than Fairness

When we talk about justice today, we often think of courtrooms, laws, rights, or fairness. And while those ideas are part of the picture, biblical justice goes even deeper. In the Bible, justice is not just a social value or a legal principle. It is a reflection of who God is. God is righteous, faithful, merciful, and just. So when…

Blinded from the Truth of the Gospel

Many of us say we believe the gospel, but sometimes we can be blinded from its truth by the things we have been taught, the groups we belong to, the political side we defend, or the pain we carry from injustice. The gospel is not just a message about going to heaven one day. It is the good news that…
