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

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

Death Without Fear

The concept of resurrection from the dead is a continuous theme throughout the Bible. Jesus, during the Feast of Unleavened Bread, was the first to be resurrected. Then during Pentecost, we are reminded of God’s plan involving several distinct periods of time in which He works to bring humanity to salvation, to eternal life. Those are pictured by small and large harvests. Then on the Day of Trumpets, we are reminded about what is called the first resurrection of all those who are Christ’s at … [Read more...] about Death Without Fear

The Substance of the Bible

How would you describe the Word of God, the Bible?  History? Knowledge? Information of a spiritual nature?  Is it Prophecy?  Is it About Law?  Is it Stories about keeping or not keeping the Law?  Is it a jigsaw puzzle?  God’s Word contains all of these elements, but as a whole what does it all mean? What is the substance of the Bible? In written form, it reads like a Love Story from beginning to end.  It’s about the God family’s love for each other, for … [Read more...] about The Substance of the Bible

A Comma, a Cross, and a Kingdom: Rethinking the Thief Beside Christ

"Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise." Those words—spoken by Jesus to a dying man—have comforted many and confused just as many. For centuries, this single verse has launched sermons, sparked debates, and shaped doctrines that affect how people view salvation itself. But what if this powerful statement has been misunderstood—not because of what Jesus said, but because of where a translator decided to place a single comma? A Verse That Shaped Eternity Luke 23:43 … [Read more...] about A Comma, a Cross, and a Kingdom: Rethinking the Thief Beside Christ

Women: Rethinking Self-Image

In a culture of exposure, I grew up hearing one message repeated over and over to young men: “Stop viewing women as sexual objects.” It was a needed message. Men needed to be told to see women as human beings—daughters, sisters, mothers, made in the image of God. But lately, I’ve found myself wondering when will we also tell women to stop viewing themselves as sexual objects? We now live in a time where it’s not uncommon to see women showcasing themselves online in ways that leave little to … [Read more...] about Women: Rethinking Self-Image

Misrepresenting God Distances Us from Him

For centuries, mainstream Christianity has taught the doctrine of the Trinity as an unquestionable truth. It has been described as a mystery, something beyond human comprehension, and many have been taught that to deny it is to reject God Himself. But what if this doctrine is not only inaccurate but also functions as an Idol of the Mind—a humanly crafted concept that distorts God’s true nature? Idolatry is often associated with physical statues and images, but Scripture defines it much more … [Read more...] about Misrepresenting God Distances Us from Him
