They are quiet, these two. Assumption and her sister Presumption move quickly, feeding on half-truths, imagined offenses, and misheard words. They do not announce themselves with loud accusations or wild gestures.

They desire to be seen as spiritual, as valuable to the community of the faithful, as useful to the movement of God—yet all the while, the intent of the heart is angled not toward Christ’s glory but their own. And the Spirit sees. The eye of man may be beguiled by charisma, gifting, zeal even—but the Spirit knows the bent of a heart.  Read More

The weight of words is not in their fervor but in the obedience that follows. A glaze may gleam on pottery, but beneath—has the fire purified it? Or does the heat reveal fractures unseen?   Read More

Imagine a husband who tells his wife, “I love you,” but never seeks to understand her, never puts effort into knowing her deeper, never sacrifices for her. Is that love? If we claim to love the Lord but refuse to grow, refuse to sharpen our gifts, refuse to work harder, what are we truly saying?  Read More

Life resists our control. We draft plans, set expectations, and map out the trajectory we believe things should follow. But then reality intervenes—detours, delays, dry seasons. Growth does not arrive on schedule. Change does not look the way we imagined. Faced with the discomfort of uncertainty, we try to force movement, fabricate progress, and impose structure where there was once only the wild and unmeasured work of God. But here is the danger: what we manufacture in our impatience can look like growth while suffocating the very life we claim to nurture.  Read More

We count attendance, monitor engagement, track membership, celebrate addition. But the biblical model does not linger in addition; it presses into multiplication. What happened in Acts 6 was not simply a numerical increase—it was a transformation in the very nature of the church’s expansion.  Read More

With great wisdom beyond his years, David made a profound choice: to face the giant not in the king’s cumbersome armor but with the simple weapons he knew so well: his staff and his sling. Why? Because David’s strength did not lie in man-made armor and swords but in his unwavering faith in the living God   Read More

When we bring our emotions under the lordship of Christ, we can navigate life’s challenges with grace and wisdom, in unwavering obedience to our unequally matchless Savior. Psalm 19:14 (ESV): “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.”  Read More

While modern Christianity may not be bound to the legalistic regulations of old covenant Sabbath observance, embracing regular cycles of rest remains a prudent and advantageous practice rooted in God’s very design for human flourishing. God Himself established the pattern of labor and cessation that reflects the innate harmony of His creation.  Read More

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you felt a nagging sense of unease, a subtle dissonance that whispered, “Something is not quite right here?” Perhaps it was a relationship, a business partnership, or even a casual friendship that seemed to clash with your deeply held values and beliefs.  Read More

The truth is, tithing is not about checking off a box or impressing others with your math skills. It is an opportunity for you to put skin in the game and joyfully invest your resources in what matters— spreading the good news of Christ and providing for others. Instead of getting tangled up in percentage points, take a step back and allow yourself to be challenged at a deeper level.  Read More
