Consider the Snowflakes
He who has time - indeed, makes time - to craft each and every snowflake uniquely surely has His affections set on you.
When the redeemed observe the faintly falling snow through the universe, their minds ought to turn to the Maker of both snow and universe, the One who crafts each and every snowflake individually, separately, uniquely. A great torrent of white snow settling on a blemished creation ought to remind us all of Him who delights... Continue Reading
Waiting for the Second Christmas
The present misery, need, and decay must pass away and the new day of the son of man must dawn.
Humankind needs desperately to find this deeper meaning of Christmas which transforms people’s hearts and consequently their whole lives and relationships. This is the eternal mystery of Christmas, its great power and light, its everlasting gospel of love, unity and purity, its infinite joy and gladness. We must discover what it means that the kingdom... Continue Reading
2 Things Jesus Did That Everyone Desperately Needs
Peace with God is found only by his grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ Jesus alone.
“For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.” (John... Continue Reading
Finding Strength in God’s Promises
Letting faith transform your daily life one moment at a time.
Faith, like anything meaningful, needs nurturing. It’s not something that stays strong on its own—we must be intentional about it. These are a few practices that have helped me strengthen my connection to God. Over the years, I’ve learned that consistency matters more than perfection in these practices. Life has a way of throwing... Continue Reading
Honor Your (Elderly) Parents
How adult children ‘make some return’.
There is wisdom in listening to and learning from doctors and experienced caregivers. But Christians have the full resources of the all-wise God available to them — by God’s Spirit, through his word, and among his people. Generational ministry lives in the church, Christ’s body; we are meant to work together as we honor the... Continue Reading
Twenty-Five Marks of Unbelief
Faith gives us peace and comfort in our souls; but unbelief works trouble and tossings, like the restless waves of the sea.
Faith makes us see preciousness in Christ; but unbelief sees no form, beauty, or comeliness in him (1 Pet 2:7; Isa. 53:1-3). By faith we have our life in Christ’s fulness; but by unbelief we starve and pine away (Gal. 2:20). Faith gives us the victory over the law, sin, death, the devil, and all... Continue Reading
How to Thrive in 2025: The Hands of Men and the Hand of God (Proverbs 27:23–27)
Take what God has given you, and make the most of what you have—for him, for yourself, and for others.
The Lord uses His people similarly to provide for His church today. Generally speaking (again, these are proverbs for us today), God desires to bless our faithfulness with fruitfulness to care for ourselves, for others, and His church. Fruit may not always be in dollars and things, but a faithful life is generally a happy... Continue Reading
Appeal to the Man Beneath the Armor
Is anonymity serving a righteous purpose, or is it covering something your conscience knows isn’t right?
If you claim to follow Christ, your interactions—whether in person or behind a screen—are not neutral. Every word you type reflects either the flesh or the Spirit. Anonymity may shield you from others, but it doesn’t shield you from the Lord who purchased you with His blood. He calls you to holiness, even in how... Continue Reading
You’ll Never Really Settle In
The reason why we’re always homesick in this world is because we were made for another one.
C.S. Lewis puts his finger on this desire – a yearning homesickness – as the deepest human longing, and what eventually led him to Christianity. He describes it as “that unnameable something [the] desire for which pierces us like a sword at the smell of a bonfire, the sound of wild ducks flying overhead, the... Continue Reading
Are You Missing Out on the Gift of the Good and Abundant Life?
The abundant life is a life lived with one foot on earth and the other in heaven.
Whether we are consciously aware of it or not, we are all on a search for “the good life.” We are all after that person, place, or thing that will make us satisfied, someone or something that will give us meaning in this world. And since that’s what we’re all looking for, that’s what everyone... Continue Reading
