on February 4th, 2025
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." - 2 Corinthians 5:17 In 2 Kings 18, Hezekiah, a character we have looked at the last couple of days, could not step into his God-given role as king until something significant happened (just 2 chapters prior).

Healing from the Past
on February 2nd, 2025
"He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that David his father had done." - 2 Kings 18:3 Hezekiah’s story is proof that your past doesn’t have to define your future. He didn’t come from a picture-perfect family. In fact, his father, King Ahaz, left behind a legacy of evil. Ahaz was everything a godly example shouldn’t be. He abandoned the ways of the Lord, indulged in pagan...  Read More

He understood that preventing harm is often...  Read More

So glorify God in your body.” - 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 It’s easy to think that spiritual practices like singing, shouting, preaching, and reading the Bible define a spiritual life. While those things are essential, they are not the full pictur...  Read More

A Holistic View of Spirituality
on January 27th, 2025
“Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.” - 3 John 1:2 In Western culture, we often separate our spirituality into different compartments—spirit, mind, and body—believing that what happens to the body doesn’t affect the spirit.  Historically, thinkers like Plato influenced the idea that the body is something to be ignored or...  Read More

on January 26th, 2025
“Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own.” - 1 Corinthians 6:19 We’ve all heard the phrase that our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, but what does that truly mean? Often, we interpret it as a call to avoid sin, but there's an even deeper message here. Being a good steward of our bodies is about more than just a...  Read More

Health vs. Healing
on January 25th, 2025
“For I will restore health to you, and your wounds I will heal, declares the Lord.” - Jeremiah 30:17 When you think about your health, it's easy to focus on moments of crisis, the times you feel broken, the wounds that need healing.

on January 23rd, 2025
“For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son.” - Romans 8:29 God’s ultimate goal for your life is simple: He wants to see the image of His Son reflected in you.

"And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the voice of the Lord your God." - Deuteronomy 28:2 Not every promise God gives us is unconditional. While many of His promises are completely up to Him, where He assures us of His love, His presence, and His grace, there are other promises in Scripture that come with conditions.
