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 Pharisee in Us

After Solomon’s Temple was destroyed and the Jews were hauled off in the Babylonian exile, they could no longer come together at the temple in Jerusalem to worship, so they began to develop these local meeting locations where they could come to gather throughout the Babylonian Empire for prayer, to read scripture, and to receive instructions in God’s ways. As we move forward in time, by the third and second century BC, synagogues had become widespread throughout Judea, Asia Minor, Egypt and … [Read more...] about The Pharisee in Us

From Transaction to Transformation:  

The Invisible Framework We Inherit: How Scripture Frames Law, Grace, Faith, and Salvation 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 … [Read more...] about From Transaction to Transformation:  

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

Expressions of Tribalism

It is difficult to escape the feeling that our world is becoming more divided by the day. For example, we are hearing more about political identity. While it has been quite customary to identify with some political party in terms of general policy, the term has now developed a sharper edge. Amy Chua writing in The Guardian newspaper notes: “When groups feel threatened, they retreat into Tribalism. When groups feel mistreated and disrespected, they close ranks and become more insular, more … [Read more...] about Expressions of Tribalism

The Church Across the Ages

A Prophetic Journey Through Church Eras God's Church has walked a long and often difficult path for nearly two millennia. Despite enduring external persecution and internal division, it has never ceased to exist. It endures—sometimes visibly organized, often scattered—through the lives of individuals and communities determined to uphold God’s truth. This enduring legacy is often viewed through the lens of Revelation 2 and 3, where Jesus Christ addresses seven churches in Asia Minor. While … [Read more...] about The Church Across the Ages
