We are seeing, in a very real way, what happens when a nation loses the fear of the Lord. The unraveling is not only political, social, or economic. It is spiritual. When people no longer honor God, truth becomes blurry, sin becomes normal, and wisdom is replaced with pride. The Bible says, “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a…
Scripture focus: “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” — 3 John 1:2, KJV This verse is a prayer of love. The Apostle John wrote these words to Gaius, a faithful believer. John wanted him to do well in life, to be healthy in his body, and to…
Scripture focus: “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” — Proverbs 16:18 The Bible gives a serious warning about pride.

In plain words, Jesus is saying that the person who truly wants to obey God will begin to recognize God’s truth. Understanding does not come only from studying more, arguing better, or having…
God loves people, and He does not want us to live confused, misled, or spiritually weak. He wants us to know Him, trust Him, and stand strong in His truth. When we do not grow in the knowledge of God and His Word, it can become easier to believe what people say more than what God says. The Bible gives…
