The Days of Unleavened Bread are seven days of stepping away from leavened bread to step more fully into a life without sin. And more importantly, into a life of conscious dependence on God to make that possible. To the outside observer, it may seem odd, even extreme. But to those who keep it, the meaning runs core-deep. It's a living metaphor. Yes, the Israelites walked out of Egypt in one night. But the “Egypt” inside them took much longer to leave. The Days of Unleavened Bread … [Read more...] about Out of Egypt Again: A Spiritual Pattern of Escape

From Transaction to Transformation: How Scripture Frames Law, Grace, Faith, and Salvation
The Invisible Framework We Inherit I’m sure most Christians assume they understand the relationship between law, grace, and salvation, yet few of us ever pause to examine the framework through which we interpret these concepts. There are, in fact, multiple ways of viewing these theological ideas, and like a pair of invisible glasses, this framework quietly shapes how Scripture is read, how the gospel is explained, and how discipleship is practiced. Rarely is it questioned, because … [Read more...] about From Transaction to Transformation: How Scripture Frames Law, Grace, Faith, and Salvation
Christ and Moses – Parallel Prophets
Australian author Mark Robertson wrote The Enlightened Law of Moses, about the Old Testament. Most people think of the Bible in two parts, the Old Testament and the New Testament. And in thinking of the Old Testament, they think of that as the Law of Moses, a collection of old Jewish stories, obsolete statutes, sort of anachronistic, legalistic, and harsh. The New Testament, by contrast, is where all of that is done away, where Christ introduced grace and cast aside Israel to build a better … [Read more...] about Christ and Moses – Parallel Prophets
Subject Matter Experts
Today I want to go through a story about a fictitious, company, but with real-world events. At Acme Solutions, growth had stalled, projects dragged on. Compliance audits revealed gaps, and customers began losing confidence. The leadership team realized the root cause was a lack of deep expertise. Decisions were slow, errors were costly, and innovations was nowhere in sight. One day, the CEO posed a question, “What if we invest in knowledge instead of patching problems?” The answer came in the … [Read more...] about Subject Matter Experts
Benefits of Honoring Your Father & Mother
Honor, Legacy, and Godly Governance After my father’s death, I found myself reflecting on the lessons he tried to instill, the values he lived, and the influence he had on my life. At the same time, I couldn’t help but notice the many broken families around me. These reflections brought deep clarity to the commandment—“Honor your father and your mother.” This command is often interpreted narrowly as a call to respect, obedience, or caregiving. While those elements are certainly important, the … [Read more...] about Benefits of Honoring Your Father & Mother
Rising Above the Dating Game
So, twelve to fifteen years ago I worked in downtown Los Angeles, and I went out to lunch with a friend of mine. We were walking down the street just chatting and for some reason we came around to the topic of dating. He told a story that I found pretty distressing. By his late twenties, he was a successful, relatively good-looking dude, over six feet, and with a good income. But what he described about his experience in dating was pretty grim. He found that in order to get a date, he had to … [Read more...] about Rising Above the Dating Game
The Power of Example Over Argument
In a world filled with endless noise – where every platform demands an opinion and every disagreement sparks debate – there’s something quietly powerful about a life well-lived. Not staged, not loud, not attention-seeking – but a sincere life that reflects the character and nature of God. From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible emphasizes how God’s people live far more than how they debate. While the modern religious world often defaults to confrontation and verbal … [Read more...] about The Power of Example Over Argument
