Reliance on God
on December 30th, 2024
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."* – Philippians 4:13 Paul’s secret to contentment wasn’t about his strength, his abilities, or his willpower.

It doesn’t come from pretending everything is fine or convincing ourselv... Read More

“Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’” – Hebrews 13:5 We live in a world that’s always pushing us to pursue “more.” More success, more money, more followers, more possessions. This endless drive can leave us feeling empty, even when we’re surrounded by things. It’s like being on a treadmill that nev... Read More

Keep the Light On
on December 16th, 2024
“And give no opportunity to the devil.” - Ephesians 4:27 Anger is a powerful emotion. It’s natural to feel angry when things don’t go as expected, when we’re hurt, or when we feel wronged. But anger can be destructive if we don’t deal with it properly. Paul’s advice is to keep your anger exposed to the light. Don’t bury it. Don’t let it simmer in the dark, because when you do, you’re giving the ... Read More

“Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger.” - Ephesians 4:26 When we read Paul’s words in Ephesians, the first part seems pretty straightforward, "Be angry and do not sin."
