The Roles That Shape Us
on June 16th, 2025
"Honor your father and mother that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land." - Ephesians 6:2 There are few titles as powerful and weighty as father. Not because of perfection or performance, but because of presence and purpose. And yet what makes fatherhood so impactful is not just the word itself, it’s the roles a father is meant to carry. A father is a provider. That does ...  Read More

A Father’s Legacy
on June 15th, 2025
"As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him." - Psalm 103:13 Father’s Day is a special moment on the calendar, but its meaning reaches far beyond cards and gifts. It’s a reminder of the quiet strength, steady presence, and deep love that fathers bring into the lives of their children. Being a father is not about perfection. It is about showing ...  Read More

I’m On Daddy Duty
on June 14th, 2025
"Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." - Proverbs 22:6 The word “dad” stirs up many meanings. For some, it simply points to biology. For others, it describes the one who offers care, protection, and guidance. And sometimes, it’s not biology at all. A dad can be the neighbor who looks out for a child, the teacher who mentors, or the uncle who ste...  Read More

God Always Makes a Way
on June 13th, 2025
"Your way was through the sea, your path through the great waters, yet your footprints were unseen." - Psalm 77:19 When you read Scripture, a pattern unfolds again and again. When people try to fix things in their own strength, they fail. Adam and Eve tried fig leaves to cover their shame. Cain tried to offer God the best of his harvest. People throughout the centuries turned to rituals, rules, an...  Read More

Still Speaks. Still Moves. Still Delivers.
on June 12th, 2025
"In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace." - Ephesians 1:7 In Exodus, the Israelites were marked not by their clothes, their language, or their culture but by the blood on their doorposts. That blood was their covering, their protection, and their deliverance. But notice this. The power was not just in knowing about the b...  Read More

Apply the Blood Over Your Life
on June 11th, 2025
"Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me." - Psalm 51:10 It is one thing to know about the power of the blood. It is another to apply it. In Exodus, God instructed His people not only to sacrifice a lamb but to take its blood and place it over the doorposts of their homes. It was not enough that the lamb was killed. The blood had to be applied where it mattered most. ...  Read More

The Power of the Blood
on June 10th, 2025
"In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace." - Ephesians 1:7 All through Scripture, there is a clear theme. God cares deeply when His people are in bondage. Whether it was the Israelites in Egypt or any person today weighed down by fear, sin, past wounds, or addictions, God’s heart has always been to set His people free. In...  Read More

Take Shelter in God’s Protection
on June 9th, 2025
"The blood shall be a sign for you, on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you." - Exodus 12:13 As God prepared to bring the final plague upon Egypt, the moment had come for His people to take refuge under His protection. God was not only bringing judgment on Egypt’s oppression; He was offering mercy to His people. And He gave them a ...  Read More

God Will Not Leave You Stuck
on June 8th, 2025
"The Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters. I know their sufferings." - Exodus 3:7 Most people have heard the story of Moses and the burning bush. God calls Moses from the middle of the wilderness to lead the Israelites out of Egypt after 400 years of slavery. It is a powerful moment. But what is easy to mis...  Read More

God Wants Your Heart
on June 7th, 2025
"And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh." - Ezekiel 36:26 It is easy to think of faith as a list of rules. Do not kill. Do not steal. Do not commit adultery. Keep the commandments and you are good with God, right? But if you stop there, you miss the deeper truth. God never wanted pe...  Read More

Do Not Pick and Choose
on June 6th, 2025
"But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves." - James 1:22 One of the easiest traps to fall into when reading Scripture is selective application. It happens when we take the parts we like or that fit our views and ignore the rest. But when we do that, we miss the heart of God’s message and risk hurting others along the way. In Matthew 5, Jesus makes it clear that He did n...  Read More

Stay Open to What God Wants to Show You
on June 5th, 2025
"Behold, I am doing a new thing. Now it springs forth. Do you not perceive it?" - Isaiah 43:19 One of the most important things you can do in your walk with God is stay open to what He wants to show you. When Jesus spoke to the people in Matthew 5, they thought they already knew everything about God. They were certain they had the commandments figured out. But Jesus showed them there was more. He ...  Read More

Let the Text Speak
on June 4th, 2025
"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." - Psalm 119:105 One of the greatest gifts God has given us is His Word. But that gift can easily be misused when we approach Scripture with our own assumptions instead of letting the text speak for itself. It is tempting to read modern issues and debates into ancient words. We take a verse like John 14:6, where Jesus says, “I am the way, the...  Read More

Let Scripture Shape You, Not Just Confirm You
on June 3rd, 2025
"All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness." - 2 Timothy 3:16 One of the most valuable truths we can grasp as followers of Jesus is this: the Bible is meant to shape us, not just confirm what we already think. In 1 Corinthians 11, Paul addresses the issue of women covering their heads during worship. Over time, ...  Read More

Context Matters
on June 2nd, 2025
"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." - Matthew 5:17 One of the most important keys to understanding the Bible is remembering that context matters. Without it, we can misunderstand or even misuse what God is trying to teach us. In Matthew 5, Jesus says several times, “You have heard it said, but I say to you.” At fi...  Read More

Avoiding Spiritual Malpractice
on June 1st, 2025
"But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." - Matthew 5:44 Malpractice usually makes us think of doctors or lawyers who fail to do their job properly and end up hurting someone. But there’s another kind of malpractice we often overlook, spiritual malpractice. It happens when people mishandle the Word of God in ways that cause harm instead of bringing life. In Matthe...  Read More

Faith Moves Forward
on May 31st, 2025
"By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going." - Hebrews 11:8 Faith is always moving forward. It’s not just about holding on to a promise. It’s about making progress toward it, even when you don’t have all the details. That’s what set Abram apart. His faith wasn’t passive. It was active. I...  Read More

Worship While You Wait
on May 30th, 2025
"Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, 'To your offspring I will give this land.' So he built there an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him." - Genesis 12:7 Faith isn’t just about believing God’s promises. It’s about worshiping Him while you wait for those promises to come to pass. Abram understood this. Every time he made progress on his journey, he built an altar to worship God. He did...  Read More
