This morning, as I reflected on the many challenges we are facing in the world today, a question rose up in my spirit: “When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?” These are the words of Jesus in Luke 18:8, spoken at the end of the Parable of the Persistent Widow. That question feels especially…
Scripture focus: “I am the vine, ye are the branches.” — John 15:5 When Jesus said, “I am the vine, ye are the branches,” He used a picture that anyone can understand. A branch cannot live by itself. It only stays green, strong, and fruitful because it is connected to the vine. In the same way, we cannot live the…
Lord, when I think about justice as love, I am reminded that Your justice flows from Your heart. You are not distant from pain, blind to wrong, or unmoved by suffering. Your Word says that You are love, and because of that, Your justice is holy, compassionate, and true. Teach me to see justice not only as something that happens…
When many people hear the word justice, they think of punishment, courtrooms, laws, or people getting what they deserve. Those things can be part of justice, but the Bible gives us a deeper picture. From a Christian point of view, justice is not just about punishment. Justice is love in action. God’s justice is not cold or cruel. It comes…
It feels like fear has grabbed hold of the American spirit. Everywhere we turn, we are told to be afraid of “the other” — people who look different, worship differently, vote differently, speak another language, come from another country, or live a life we do not fully understand. Fear makes us build walls in our hearts before we ever meet…
Scripture focus: “Of God are ye in Christ Jesus.” — 1 Corinthians 1:30“My Father is the husbandman.” — John 15:1 Sometimes we think our relationship with Jesus depends mostly on how strong we are, how well we pray, or how hard we try. But the Bible gives us a better starting point. It says that we are in Christ because…
To “assault the truth” means to attack it, twist it, hide it, deny it, or replace it with something false. In everyday words, it is when people knowingly spread lies, cover up what is right, exaggerate facts, gossip, slander others, or make wrong look right. The Bible takes this seriously because truth is not just an idea—it is connected to…
Truth is not merely a good idea or a helpful principle. Truth belongs to God. It reflects His nature, His holiness, and His way. When we assault the truth—by twisting it, hiding it, denying it, exaggerating it, or replacing it with a lie—we are not just mishandling words; we are stepping away from the light of God. The Lord speaks…
You cannot truly know God and stay the same. The more you seek Him, the more He changes your heart, renews your mind, and leads you into the life He created you to live. Many years ago, I began my Christian journey with a deep desire to know God and obey Him, no matter the cost. It was not easy.…
