Glamour Without Glory
by Valeta Baty on October 31st, 2025
Everything unravels when God is no longer feared because holiness becomes optional and repentance rare. Sin is managed, not mortified, we exalt leaders to places they were never meant to stand, and the rest of us become consumers. The Church, once the dwelling place of the Most High, becomes a conference center with a cross.  Read More

The Small Things
by Valeta Baty on October 24th, 2025
We cannot allow false theology of grandeur to rob us of the nearness of God, because so often we act as though the only prayers worth praying are eternal prayers. But if we take the time to look closely at Scripture, we find a God who listens to the unremarkable.  Read More

From Revelation to Relic
by Valeta Baty on October 17th, 2025
Every true work of God begins not with strategy or structure, but with the thunderclap of revelation. The veil lifts, and God is no longer a concept we manage, He is a fire we cannot touch.  Read More

When Success Becomes Spoil
by Valeta Baty on October 10th, 2025
The problem is not the miracle. The problem is the moment after. The hush that comes when the trumpets are quiet. The impulse to preserve the momentum. To recreate the atmosphere. To bottle the breakthrough. It is not new.  Read More

The Selfie Christian
by Valeta Baty on October 3rd, 2025
There is a kind of piety that is only convincing to people who do not read their Bibles. The Pharisees had it. So do many modern Christians. It is the sort of godliness that always has a moral lesson, an inspirational caption, a powerful takeaway—and it always, somehow, involves the self at the center.   Read More

The Masks We Wear
by Valeta Baty on September 26th, 2025
“Look at me, I did a good thing!” Being seen is the quiet plea of every human heart. We want recognition, a nod of approval that affirms our worth, our success, or our goodness. We are not content with merely existing. We want to be acknowledged. Applauded. Seen as significant.  Read More

Loud Life
by Valeta Baty on September 19th, 2025
Let us face it—there are times when Christians are their own worst enemy when it comes to evangelism. We pray for open doors, rehearse our testimony, invite people to church, and then sabotage it all with a lifestyle that whispers—or sometimes shouts—“I don’t really believe what I say I believe.”  Read More

The Illusion of Control
by Valeta Baty on September 12th, 2025
We all want to be in control, do we not? It is human nature to want to call the shots, steer the ship, and have everything go according to our plans and desires. But the hard truth is that real control is an illusion—the universe does not bend to our whims, no matter how tightly we try to grip the reins. From the very beginning in the Garden of Eden, we see the consequences of humanity’s desire to be like God and have ultimate control (Genesis 3).  Read More

Shallow Ecclesiology
by Valeta Baty on September 5th, 2025
The time is now, we must stop reducing the church to a recruitment agency, and instead embrace the full, biblical identity: The church exists for the glory of God, the worship of Christ, the holiness of His people, and the proclamation of His gospel.  Read More

Trees in the Desert
by Valeta Baty on August 29th, 2025
Man would plant a little, but God plants much. Man rations, but God overflows. The wilderness is not dressed up for show, it is filled with a forest that should not exist together in a place so barren that no one can deny Who has done it. The nations will see it, and they will reckon with it. “That they may see and know, may consider and understand together, that the hand of the LORD has done this” (Isaiah 41:20, ESV).  Read More

Worship
by Valeta Baty on August 22nd, 2025
Worship is not cozy emotion because it confronts majesty and shatters the self. Modern worship sings as if God were boyfriend, therapist, or background mood. Consuming fire domesticated to candlelight glow. The sanctuary a stage. The priesthood a performance. The offering an applause. But Scripture’s worship is unchanged. It demands reverence, awe, purity, truth, obedience.  Read More

Godward, Not Sideward
by Valeta Baty on August 15th, 2025
Our eyes are not the standard. Our opinions are not the plumb line. The gaze that matters is the one set upon the throne, steady and unmoved by shifting human currents.  Read More
