Take Up Your Cross

The symbol of the cross is seen nearly everywhere. It’s the universal symbol of Christianity and its meaning becomes uniquely individual when someone chooses to wear a cross. To many, it is a daily testament of Christ’s sacrifice in their life. To others, it serves as a comforting symbol of divine protection and blessing, while some simply wear it because it’s bling and it is classy jewelry that they can wear.   Yet for some, the cross is simply a physical symbol or idol that clouds … [Read more...] about Take Up Your Cross

Hiding From God

There is a theme that I want to spend time developing on one level which is very simple to understand. But it's much deeper than I sometimes think we take time to think through. Very simply, God formed Adam, placed him in this garden of great abundance, gave him a purpose within that, a job, a work, and there was a relationship here. And then God crafted Eve, Aam’s counterpart, his compliment, his partner (Genesis 2:7-8, 15-18, 21-22). And then It says: “And they were both naked, the man … [Read more...] about Hiding From God

The Power of Small

In today’s world, we can all easily walk around exhausted. We often run on empty because we try to survive a perfect storm unique to our time.  We are caught between internet algorithms dictating our attention, mega-metrics measuring our worth, and a relentless wave of global awareness, which constantly shakes us. We must be honest with ourselves about what we face.  Algorithms are not just behind our social media. They power our news feeds, purchases, and a myriad of other activities … [Read more...] about The Power of Small

Mastering True Repentance

The author of Hebrews 5: 8-10 captures the essence of Christ: His character, the trials that He suffered, and His authority to become the architect of our redemption. However, after his high praise, the author of Hebrews follows it with a stinging wake-up call to his current and future readers (Hebrews 5:11-14).  Because the readers remained unskilled in the basic principles of God’s word, they were unable to grasp deeper spiritual truths. In Chapter 6, the author identifies six foundational … [Read more...] about Mastering True Repentance

The Quantum Mystery And God

Einstein called it 'spooky action at a distance,' but the phenomenon he mocked  may illuminate the divine. (Michael Guillén  April 12, 2026.) For millennia, the concept of an omniscient God — a deity who knows every sparrow that falls, every thought that forms, and every star that burns across the vast expanse of the cosmos — has boggled the human imagination. How in the world can any entity, no matter how supreme, know everything that’s happening everywhere, all at once, in real time, and … [Read more...] about The Quantum Mystery And God

From Self-Reliance to God-Dependence

One very consistent failing of all of mankind is a reliance on personal thinking. Self-reliance and the concept of the "self-made man" are marketed as virtues in the world. The narrative suggests that through discipline and effective approaches, man can control his world. One only needs to walk through a bookstore or get on Amazon and search topics like "leadership" to find book after book on how to be more effective and efficient. How to make oneself more employable. How to become a … [Read more...] about From Self-Reliance to God-Dependence

When Leadership Fails –

When things begin to go wrong, the instinct is almost automatic: look for new leadership – or even a new system altogether. A new direction. New policies. A different voice at the top. A different way to distribute power. Surely, if we could just get the right people – or the right structure – things would stabilize. And to some extent, that’s true. Leadership matters. Decisions at the top have real consequences. History shows that the character and competence of leaders can influence the … [Read more...] about When Leadership Fails –
