When most people hear the word pride , they think of arrogance—someone who thinks they’re better than everyone else, looks down on others, or believes they don’t need God’s instruction. While that is  pride, it’s only part of the picture. Biblically speaking, pride is much deeper—and much more subtle. Pride is anything that sets itself up against what God says and makes life about self. That means pride isn’t just saying, “I’m too good to follow God’s Word. "Pride can also s

One of the most striking moments in the early Church is found in Acts 5 . The apostles are arrested, beaten, and commanded to stop preaching the name of Jesus. What happens next should stop every modern believer in their tracks. “So they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for His name.” — Acts 5:41 (NKJV) They didn’t curse those who punished them. They didn’t speak ill of the authorities. They didn’t say, “This i

If all you’re seeing is the negative, that’s not discernment — it’s judgment . The enemy is very good at revealing what’s broken, wrong, or failing. But notice this: he never reveals hope, responsibility, or restoration. The Enemy Only Reveals What Destroys Scripture is clear: “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy…” (John 10:10) The enemy highlights flaws without offering healing.He exposes weakness without offering grace.He points out sin with

Unforgiveness is more dangerous than many believers realize—not because it feels powerful, but because it silently reshapes the heart . It becomes the language of the enemy, subtly twisting what God intended for life into tools of division and distance. Unforgiveness turns prayer into curses , where instead of interceding, we rehearse offenses before God. It turns grace into accusations , where mercy is replaced with judgment. It turns blessing into justification , where we e

As believers, we often celebrate when the gospel reaches new people—until it comes through a voice, style, or person we don’t expect. You may have felt it before. Someone shares their faith publicly, talks about what God is doing in their life, or boldly speaks about Jesus—and instead of joy, something rises up inside you. Irritation. Suspicion. A quiet judgment. “They’re just trying to get attention.” They’re trying to look spiritual.” Why do they always have to post about J

Storms are rarely welcomed, yet they are often misunderstood. When hardship comes, it’s easy to assume something has gone wrong—that we’ve missed God, failed Him, or stepped outside His will. But Scripture and life both tell a different story. Think about a ship at sea. A ship only encounters storms when it has left the safety of the dock. Storms don’t hit ships that stay tied down and unmoving. Storms happen because the ship is going somewhere. In the same way, trials often

In a world obsessed with escape, comfort, and self-preservation, the idea of rest  has been redefined. Rest is often presented as disengaging, shutting down, or avoiding responsibility. But biblical rest is something far deeper—and far more powerful. True rest is true trust. It is not the absence of activity, struggle, or pressure. It is the confidence that comes from believing God fully—believing who He is, what He has said, and what He has promised to do. Rest Begins With B

Forgiveness is one of the most misunderstood commands in Scripture. To forgive does not  mean what happened was right. It does not  excuse sin. It does not  erase accountability. Forgiveness is about freedom —and that freedom is for you . Forgiveness Breaks the Enemy’s Prison When we hold onto unforgiveness, we don’t remain neutral. Scripture teaches that offense creates an opening—what the Bible calls a foothold —that the enemy can use to influence our thoughts, emotions, an

In our culture, love is often defined as agreement, affirmation, or silence. But biblical love has never looked like that. Being afraid to offend is not the same as being loving. If someone were driving toward a cliff, no loving person would stay silent because they didn’t want to hurt feelings or risk being misunderstood. Love would speak up. Love would warn. Love would intervene. Yet when it comes to spiritual danger, many of us hesitate. The Lie of “Loving Silence” We with

I often wonder what it must have felt like for David  in those early years after his anointing. Imagine being chosen by God while still a child. Imagine hearing the words spoken over you — king of Israel  — and then watching your life move in the exact opposite direction of what that calling seemed to promise. Instead of a throne, David found caves. Instead of honor, he found hiding. Instead of celebration, he lived under constant threat. For well over a decade, the sitting k

It is becoming increasingly clear that the day is drawing near . What Scripture warned would happen is unfolding right in front of us. Evil is being called good, and good is being called evil. Hate is repackaged as logic, and love is condemned as hate. Truth is no longer treated as absolute, but as something subjective—something to be reshaped by feelings, culture, or convenience. For believers, this moment should not produce fear, but sobriety and humility . Standing on the

There is a kind of joy that only exists after pressure. Not the kind that comes from everything going right, but the kind that remains when life feels heavy and uncertain. The Bible never promises a life without hardship.What it does promise is that joy is possible even in the middle of it . James writes: “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.” — James 1:2–3 (NKJV) Notice that Scripture doesn

In a culture that celebrates constant movement, new seasons, and the next big thing, it’s easy to confuse change  with growth . But in God’s Kingdom, stability is not found in jumping from house to house—it’s found in deep roots . Scripture often compares our spiritual lives to planting, building, and growing. None of these happen quickly, and none of them thrive without staying connected to the place God has planted us. The Danger of Always Looking for “What’s Next” When we

Many believers understand the Gospel as forgiveness—and it is  that. But the Gospel does not stop at covering sin. It goes further. Much further. The Gospel is the doorway through which God Himself comes to dwell within us . Too often, we think of salvation as a legal transaction: sins forgiven, debt paid, slate wiped clean. That is gloriously true—but it is incomplete if left there. God never intended forgiveness to be the end  of the Gospel. Forgiveness is the beginning of

The story of the Prodigal Son is one of the most familiar teachings of Jesus. Many can summarize it in a sentence: a rebellious son leaves, wastes everything, comes home, and is forgiven. But when Jesus first told this parable, His listeners didn’t hear a sentimental story—they heard something offensive, shocking, and deeply unsettling . To truly understand the power of this story, we must understand what Jesus was revealing about the Father’s heart , human pride , and the co

One of the most misunderstood aspects of spiritual discernment is why  God reveals things to us in the first place. In a culture saturated with opinion, assumption, and commentary, it’s easy to confuse information  with revelation . But Scripture makes something clear: God never reveals something for the sake of gossip. In fact, God does not gossip at all. Revelation Always Comes With Responsibility When God reveals something about a person, a situation, or a struggle, it is

When most people think of the Book of Job , they think of suffering, loss, and perseverance. But if we slow down and read carefully, Job’s story reveals something far deeper than endurance—it reveals pure love for God , tested beyond imagination and proven genuine. Job Was Not Being Punished One of the most misunderstood ideas about Job is that his suffering was the result of sin, pride, or hidden failure. Scripture tells us the opposite. God Himself declared Job blameless an

One of the most common misunderstandings in the Church today is the belief that doing ministry  is the same as being with God . While ministry is holy, meaningful, and deeply important, it was never designed to replace our personal relationship with the Lord. Ministry is a pouring out  of ourselves.Our relationship with God is where we are poured into . When those two get confused, burnout, discouragement, and spiritual dryness are not far behind. Ministry Was Never Meant to

Every day offers a fresh chance to reconnect with God’s Word. Yet, in the rush of life, many find it hard to pause and open the Bible. This post invites you to embrace short, meaningful reflections that stir your heart and draw you back to Scripture. These thoughts are not a substitute for time with God but a spark to ignite your desire for deeper prayer, reflection, and understanding. Whether you have five minutes in the morning, a quiet moment at lunch, or a brief pause in

When we read the Gospels carefully, a powerful truth emerges: everything Jesus did was done in love . That includes His compassion toward the broken—and His confrontation of corruption. We often picture Jesus Christ  sitting calmly at tables with tax collectors and sinners, welcoming those who were lost, wounded, and searching for redemption. And rightly so—those moments reveal the tenderness of God’s heart toward anyone who knows they need grace. But there is another scene w
