One Believer Can Shake Thousands

-
Image
One believer can shake thousands. That is the power of a life surrendered to Christ. Before pointing fingers and casting criticism, we must stop and ask ourselves: Am I making an impact for the Kingdom? The mission is not about tearing down one another, it is about fulfilling the command of Jesus: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19). Heaven itself erupts with joy when one sinner repents: “There is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents” (Luke 15:10). Do we rejoice the same way, or do we criticize while souls are perishing? Our aim is to hear the words of our Savior: “Well done, good and faithful servant” (Matthew 25:23). That won’t happen by sitting on the sidelines as spectators and critics. It happens by boldly walking in the calling God has given us. So before criticizing Charlie Kirk or anyone standing for truth, look in the mirror. Examine your own fruit. “Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith” (2 Corinthians 13:5). Ask God: ...

Moving Forward by Faith Like Caleb

-
Image
  “We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.” Numbers 13:30 Caleb stands out as a man of faith when others trembled in fear. While ten spies saw giants and impossibilities, Caleb saw God’s promises. His confidence wasn’t in himself, but in the Lord who had already spoken. Faith gave him vision beyond what his eyes could see. When life feels uncertain, or when the future looks intimidating, we can remember Caleb. At 85 years old, he still declared his strength and asked for the hill country that God had promised him (Joshua 14:10–12). His trust never wavered, and his endurance was rewarded. Faith is like a sculpture, shaped over time, refined through challenges, and built to endure. Just as a sculptor chisels away at stone to reveal something lasting, God uses our wilderness seasons and trials to carve us into people of steadfast courage. Reflection : ●Am I seeing my situation through the eyes of fear, or through the promises of God? ●How has God b...

Living for God in Every Season of Life

-
Image
 We must look first to God for strength, endurance, and direction, bringing all of our petitions to Him, for He is able. The Word reminds us: “Cast all your care upon Him, for He cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7). “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6–7). When we feel pressed by life’s circumstances, whether in singleness, separation, widowhood, or even after divorce, our greatest source of encouragement comes from those who have gone before us and from the living examples God has placed in our generation. Paul the Apostle, for instance, spoke candidly about singleness. He considered it a gift and even a blessing for the sake of the Lord’s work: “I wish that all men were even as I myself. But each one has his own gift from God, one in this manner and another in that....

Facing Disappointments in People

-
Image
In this life, we will all face disappointments. People, no matter how much they love us, can fail us. Promises can be broken, words can wound, and human strength can falter. That is because people are fallible. We are all imperfect beings in need of grace. But God is different. He is perfect, unchanging, and completely trustworthy. He is infallible — without error, without weakness, and without failure. His Word stands firm, His promises never return void, and His love endures forever. The psalmist reminds us of this truth: “It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man” (Psalm 118:8). When we put our hope in people alone, we set ourselves up for disappointment. But when we anchor our faith in God, we find stability, peace, and assurance no matter what happens around us. People may walk away, but God never will. People may change, but God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. So when others fail you, don’t let it harden your heart. Instead, let it drive you ...

Difficult Decisions & the Mercies of God!

-
Image
Walking with the Lord has often brought me to crossroads where the choices before me were anything but easy. Yet, I have learned to lean not on my own understanding but to trust in the Lord’s leading (Proverbs 3:5–6). Sometimes, God removes people from our lives, or removed me from theirs, and though it hurt, I have come to understand that it was for a reason. His mercy and wisdom far exceed my own. I have experienced firsthand that when God allows someone to step out of our lives, or when He calls us to step away, it is not always a sign of failure. Many times, it is His protection or His preparation for something we cannot yet see. What feels like loss in the moment can be part of His greater plan for our good. Abiding in Christ Through these seasons, the anchor of my soul has been abiding in Jesus Christ. He said: “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.”. John 15:7 There have been times when I have wept before the Lord, unc...

Daring to Be Different: A Life Set Apart for Christ

-
Image
  Living for Christ in today's world means learning to live and walk against the current. The culture around us constantly pushes values, lifestyles, and beliefs that oppose God's truth. Whether it's in your workplace, family, friendships or even your personal journey with the Lord, being a Christian often requires you to swim upstream. But we are not called to follow the world - we are called to follow Jesus. Jesus said in Matthew 7:13-14: "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it"  Each believer has their own unique walk with the Lord; this journey is not always easy. It involves denying yourself, carrying your cross, and choosing truth when it's not convenient. At times, you may feel alone or misunderstood, but your obedience honors God.  Jesus also said in Luke 9:23 "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily,  and f...

Christ-Centered Counseling: Help, Hope, and Healing

-
Image
Biblical counseling is not just about advice or emotional support—it is Christ-centered, Scripture-based guidance that applies the truth of God's Word to the real struggles of life. It acknowledges the emotional, mental, spiritual, and relational pain people go through, but points to the Word of God as the ultimate source of healing, transformation, and deliverance. Unlike secular therapy, which often focuses on self-empowerment or humanistic solutions, biblical counseling focuses on:  🔹God’s sovereignty  🔹Our identity in Christ  🔹The power of repentance, renewal, and the Holy Spirit  🔹The healing authority of Scripture It’s counseling that leads us to the cross, not just to coping mechanisms. Not temporary fixes by placing Band-Aids on wounds but getting to the root from the inside out. Physical wounds heal from the inside out, and we need to get to the deep places in our souls for emotional healing and wellbeing. That is no easy process, but if you want true f...
