The test of a man’s character is when he feels he’s at the top of his game. It’s easier to acknowledge God when we are at our breaking point, but when the road seems smooth enough, we tend to take the steering wheel from Him, saying,…

When Moses went up to the mountain to meet with God, it left the children of Israel vulnerable to going back to their old ways. They demanded that Aaron make them a graven image to worship instead of the God who delivered them. Despite the exploits they saw God did, the plagues in Egypt, parting the sea and feeding them in the wilderness…

Psalm 91 is one of my favorite Psalms. Growing up, I had to read it multiple times, sometimes daily, because it was also one of my Mum’s go-to Psalms. It’s a Psalm that speaks to the confidence of walking with God. It does not deny the presence of evil; it simply affirms the power and faithfulness of God.

I was so excited to receive a text from a friend I’d not seen in about four years, asking to meet for lunch because she was in town. I replied to her text that night, telling her I’d be there. Before leaving home the next day, I also texted her, telling her I was on my way and would see her in about thirty minutes.

It’s incredible what can come out of an unassuming, shapeless clay. One day, it’s all dirt, cracked, and formless; the next, it’s a priced centerpiece on a dining table because the Potter looks at it and says, “I can do something with that.” For a bowl of clay to become a treasured jar, it must submit itself to the hands of the Potter.

Before Christ, one can say Saul had it all: fame, wealth, affluence, and education. He was a cultural star of his time. He had it all through a layman’s eyes because the missing cord to the fulness of life lies in the secret place of the depth of each man’s soul.

If we think of the Apostle Paul, our minds go to his direct encounter with Jesus and the years he spent planting Churches and ministering the gospel. He is our big brother and one worthy of emulation in every way. However, his humanity is evident in his letter to the Romans. In chapter 7, without referencing a particular sin,…

Our adoption into the family of God comes with a visa to journey to Heaven with the help of the Holy Spirit. Peter was speaking specifically to the Church in 2 Peter 1. Talking about walking in God's divine nature and continuing his call for godly living, he said in 2 Peter 1:4, “Through these, he has given us his very great and precious promises…

The story of Joseph is one of the greatest comeback stories of all time. It is filled with love, hate, betrayal, abandonment, favor, and forgiveness. He started as the favorite of his father and the most hated by his brothers.

I’ve been in this world for a little bit, and I’ve seen wealth, health, fame, and glory fade with time. It seems like the more people have, the less worth they feel, leading them to seek more. And no matter what height we reach, it always comes down to the fact that only God can fill...

My husband and I were visiting our friends a while ago and saw a pot of planted tomatoes in their garden. The soil looked rich around the plant, and you could see some green tomatoes on the branches of the bent stem. The duct tape around the hanging little plant caught my eye, and we asked why it was wrapped in duct tape.

There’s a misconception about the calling of God on His children that has both denied the Church and the world of the magnificence of the united power of the gifts of the Spirit. Our humanity has sectioned the gifts into hierarchies; because you have the gift of leadership…

Humanity continues to seek answers to their origin from any source they can access, ignoring the source who left the Heavens to walk among us, and the more we search, the less we know. We look to oceans for answers and find none; we look to the stars beyond our galaxies and find none.

Waking up each morning throws us into a spinning circle of choices and a frenzy to make each second of the twenty hours of the day count. We often thrust ourselves into a million things and leave God on the back burner, locked in a corner. We live on a diet of intimacy instead of dwelling in His presence.

I’ve been hearing a lot about some people not wanting to have anything to do with God or identify as Christians, and I’m sad to hear that. However, thinking that this reduces the effect of the work of redemption is relatively false as I see differently because I speak through the lens of God. While, like every generation, the battle for the hearts of humanity rages, millions are…

It feels good to keep gulping bottles of cold, sweet sodas on a hot summer day instead of drinking flat-tasting water. We can throw caution to the wind at the moment because all that matters is that it quenches your thirst and satisfies your throat. However, the consequence and price of doing so might be costlier than the first gulp's satisfaction because of the content's effect on your health.

Each morning I wake up to another heart-pricking news. The world is spinning in all directions, but God’s. There’s always something going on that calls me to raise my head to Heaven and lower my knees to the ground. Before the brokenness of yesterday is mended, I see another crack today…

The resilience to the Christian faith is born out of a deep-seated confidence in God, a resolute that is immovable by circumstances or geography. Why else will the Martyrs choose to lay their lives down in place of a man’s defined “freedom” that denies the power of the cross…

I had a conversation about the first verse of Genesis with a group of friends over two decades ago, and I remember how it got us fired up. Even today, when I think about the first four words of the Bible, I shiver, and something stirs inside me that leads me to bow to my God and King. The perfect combination of words put me in my place and God where He belongs. It reminds me that before I was, He was.

When we think of perfection, our minds wander toward lines drawn by the brokenness of humanity. We believe perfection means having a particular look, acting in a certain way, and possessing certain things. However, perfection is as simple as Christ said in Matthew 5:48, “Be perfect, therefore,…
