Christian Freedom
Christian Freedom Christian freedom is a key theme in our Christian faith, but it is often misunderstood. From a biblical perspective, true freedom isn’t about having no limits or doing whatever we want. Instead, it is the ability to live as God designed—free from the bondage of sin, shame, fear, and death. In John 8:36,…
Read MoreSlowing Time
Time Is Relentless Time resembles a relentless river. We are constantly rushing about. The hands on the clock appear to move with forceful speed. This world is addicted to many things, and speed is one of them. Before the Industrial Revolution, life and work were largely governed by natural rhythms—seasons, daylight, and human limits. However,…
Read MoreIt’s Time to Apologize!
It’s time to apologize! One of a Christian’s most powerful words is “I’m sorry.” Not out of habit, not to smooth things over, but from a heart that understands the weight of sin and the beauty of grace. As followers of Jesus Christ, we are not called to pretend we’re perfect — we are called to walk…

Proverbs 18:14, “The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?” “The human spirit can endure a sick body, but who can bear a crushed spirit?” NLT When our spirit is strong and healthy, we can survive problems and difficulties.

Trust the process. Merriam-Webster’s dictionary defines a process as “a continuing development involving many changes.” Time is referred to many times throughout Scripture, with over 500 verses that refer to time in some manner.

Who will get the best gift this year? Will it be you, me, or someone else? James 1:17, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no change or shadow of turning.” The God we serve is not just our God, but…
Read MoreAre You Teachable?
Are you teachable? In Jeremiah 36, we see an exciting story of a time when Jeremiah received a message from the Lord for the people of Israel. This was around the time of the first Babylonian invasion (605 BC) when Daniel and other captives were taken to Babylon. God commanded Jeremiah not only to speak His prophecies but also to write them. You must understand—these weren’t pleasant things Jeremiah was writing about. Many…
