Resting Under God’s Wings: A Simple Reflection on Psalm 17:8

The Loving Care of a Heavenly Father  “Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings.” Psalm 17:8 is a simple but powerful prayer.

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.

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.

Blinded from the Truth of the Gospel
