When we elevate roles above people and treat leaders as spiritually superior, we stop walking in the Kingdom and start living in the patterns of the world—the very patterns Jesus warned against.  Read More

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

We are now witnessing a quiet crisis in churches across the world—those who once stood on stages with confidence have disappeared behind curtains of confusion and disillusionment. They “felt called.” They were platformed early. They were handed microphones, titles, and trust. But somewhere along the line, they tapped out. The weight was too much. The warfare was unexpected. The yoke that was supposed to be “easy” felt unbearable, because it had never truly been given by Christ.  Read More

The words of Jesus in Luke 15 are scandalous in their simplicity: “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine... and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?” (Luke 15:4, ESV). He does not wait for the sheep to wander back. He does not sit in the safety of the flock and mourn the one who left. He goes after it.  Read More

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 simply slide into the spaces left unspoken, filling the voids with whispered falsehoods, twisting shadows into supposed truths.   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

The church isn't meant to be confined by preferences or traditions. Instead, it should be a bright, clear light to a world in darkness.   Read More

Sometimes, I think we need to stop saying “God builds the church” as if it absolves us of responsibility. Jesus tells Peter in Matthew 16:18 (ESV), “...on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” It is a statement of divine certainty, yes, but it is also wrapped up in human participation.  Read More

Blasphemy has long provoked passionate disputes by attacking sensitive issues. Across history, religious beliefs and figures have been frequent targets of such blasphemous mockery and vulgarity directed at the sacred. However, a fascinating shift has emerged in modern times, unveiling a new dimension to blasphemy.   Read More

In our journey of faith, we firmly uphold the belief that every Christian is uniquely gifted and purposefully called. Guided by the words of Peter, who affirms that we are “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light” (1 Peter 2:9, ESV), we affirm that no believer stands as a mere observer. Rather, each one of us possesses a vital role, a place to contribute and shine, regardless of the platform.  Read More

The topic of gender roles and the question of whether women can serve in leadership is a matter of significant debate within the Christian community. For the most part, I try to avoid stepping into the fray of social arguments, which are grounded in opinion and not the truth of God’s Word.  Read More
