Passively Resisting God’s Blessings One of the greatest challenges we face as Christians is trying to understand why we passively resist the many blessings of God. For example, we know that prayer is good and right, but we don’t want to do it. In this case, we entertain right thoughts about prayer, but our hearts often lag behind those thoughts. In other cases, the problem may actually be the way we’re thinking about things. It’s not so much that we’re thinking wrongly, but w

When life feels heavy and the heart is burdened, I often turn to the Bible for comfort and strength. The Scriptures have a unique way of uplifting the spirit and bringing healing to our souls.

It’s a journey of faith, patience, and hope. Let’s explore how we can approach this sacred practice with intention and confidence. Understanding Prayers for Health: Th

Discovering Key Biblical Insights for Spiritual Growth One of the most rewarding aspects of diving into Scripture is uncovering insights that speak directly to our hearts and circumstances. These insights often come from familiar passages but reveal new truths when we pause and reflect. For example, the concept of grace is not just a theological term but a daily reality that invites us to live with humility and gratitude. Here are a few practical ways I’ve found helpful in di

When I reflect on the profound impact of Jesus' blood, I am reminded of its incredible power to heal, restore, and renew. The blood of Jesus is not just a symbol; it is a living testimony of God's grace and mercy. It speaks to the heart of every believer, offering hope in times of sickness and despair. Today, I want to share with you how Jesus' blood brings healing and why it remains a cornerstone of faith for many seeking spiritual and physical restoration. Jesus' Blood and

Called by God’s Name (Amos 9:11–12) The manger in Bethlehem is a marker. It signals a major movement in world history from shadow to substance and from anticipation to realization. Evident in this progression is the salvation of some from “all the nations who are called by [Yahweh’s] name” ( Amos 9:12 ). Paul stressed, “We preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks , Christ the power of God and t

When life feels heavy and the heart is burdened, I often turn to the Bible for comfort and healing. There’s something deeply soothing about reading scriptures that remind me of God’s love, His power to restore, and His promise to never leave us alone in our struggles. Spiritual healing is not just about physical recovery; it’s about mending the soul, renewing hope, and finding strength in God’s presence. Today, I want to share with you some powerful insights and practical way

In John’s Gospel , we find Jesus using concrete images for himself that help us to reflect on who he is and the role he plays in our lives. For example, Jesus calls himself the “bread of life” ( 6:35 ), the “light of the world” ( 8:12 ), and the “vine” from which his followers grow ( 15:5 ). In John 10, Jesus calls himself the “gate” for his sheep ( vv 7, 9 ) and the “good shepherd” ( vv 11, 14 ). Shepherd imagery in the Bible goes back to the Old Testament. Before leading th

When life feels overwhelming, and our bodies or minds are weary, I often turn to the Bible for comfort and guidance. The scriptures offer more than just spiritual nourishment—they provide hope and healing for our physical and emotional well-being. I want to share some powerful scriptural verses on health that have encouraged me and can inspire you too. These verses remind us that God cares deeply about our health and is always ready to restore and renew us. Embracing God’s Pr

Dead Faith James is a realist about religion. He frequently invokes the category of dead, deficient, or false faith as a foil to the living faith that the apostle enjoins on his readers. Indeed, James repeatedly warns his readers that verbal claims or religious self-assessments do not necessarily indicate one’s true spiritual condition. To properly understand the category of living faith, one must also acknowledge the category of dead faith. One category necessitates the othe

Healing is a journey that touches every part of our lives—body, mind, and spirit. When illness or pain enters our world, it can feel overwhelming. Yet, in those moments, I have found that prayer offers a unique kind of comfort and strength. It’s not just about asking for relief; it’s about connecting deeply with God’s presence and power. Today, I want to share reflections on the role of prayer in healing and how prayers for healing power can transform our experience. Understa

Instruction on Transformational, Kingdom-Centered Living Few passages of Scripture have shaped Christian faith and practice as profoundly as Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount ( Matthew 5–7 ). Delivered to a throng of people from a mountainside, Jesus’ words echo over the centuries in a way that both declares the Kingdom  of God and gives readers instruction for living as citizens of that kingdom. Far from being a list of rules, however, this speech is a vision of what it means to fo

When I first began exploring the Bible more deeply, I found myself both fascinated and overwhelmed. The richness of its stories, the depth of its wisdom, and the clarity of its guidance all beckoned me to dive in further. Over time, I realized that understanding key biblical messages is not just about reading words on a page. It’s about connecting with timeless truths that shape our lives, inspire our hearts, and guide our actions. Today, I want to share some reflections on t

God’s Sovereignty and Our Personal Responsibility The doctrine of predestination, including both election and reprobation, has long been controversial. The Bible clearly teaches that God is sovereign over all things. He saves sinners by his grace alone. God elects his people and rejects others. Yet the Bible also teaches that people bear personal responsibility for their actions.   People have many questions about predestination. Here are some of the most common ones. 1. Does

Priscilla, whom Paul usually called by her more formal name, Prisca, was his valued co-worker. As a Jewess who had come out of Rome, she and her husband Aquila were deeply involved in the spread of the gospel . Notably, her name unexpectedly precedes her husband’s in three of the six references to them ( Acts 18:18 ; Romans 16:3 ; 2 Timothy 4:19 ). This unusual ordering may suggest Priscilla belonged to a higher social class than Aquila, that she was more active than the two
