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...

Redeemed to Speak: Why Your Testimony Matters

Image
One of the most powerful ways we can encourage others is by sharing our own testimony. Yet many believers hold back, often out of shame or fear of judgment. But God's Word tells us that shame has no place in the life of a redeemed child of God. “Do not be afraid; you will not be put to shame. Do not fear disgrace, for you will not be humiliated.”  Isaiah 54:4 (NIV) When Jesus went to the Cross, He bore our shame. When we truly repent and put our faith in Him, we are made new—completely transformed by His grace. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”  2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV) “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”  Romans 8:1 (ESV) Our testimonies are not meant to be hidden. They are given to us to heal, to glorify God, and to encourage others—especially those walking through similar struggles. Our stories become relatable tools that God uses to bring hope, restorati...
