Cut to the Heart: Knowing the Answer Before You Ask

Like Your Father: Made in the Image of God

God calls heaven His throne and earth His footstool, so no possession we buy is ever truly ours. When our things begin to own us, it is time to put His name back in the owner column where it belongs.

Both Lord and Christ: When Does Jesus Become Lord?

A shared conversion story reveals a quiet truth: Jesus can be many things in a life yet not be Lord over it. From Acts 2:36, we consider where on the journey one truly becomes a redeemed child of God.

Expect Your God to Do the Things That He Does

Peter explained the resurrection, ascension, and outpoured Spirit as exactly what God does. So why have we set our sights so low? He is not through—and that next step has you in mind. Seek Him, and refuse a lesser god of convenience.

Israel turned to the sun, moon, and stars, and God gave them over to the ruin they chose. The more urgent question is the spiral of your own heart. Keep it turned toward God, and He will handle what comes next.

Speaking Freely: How Honest Are You About Jesus?

We use soft phrases to soften hard truths and dodge responsibility. Luke spoke freely about a still-buried David and a risen Jesus. How frank are you with yourself where He is concerned?

We Still Make Calves: The Idols Progress Cannot Cure

We no longer melt gold into calves, but we still bow to idols of our own making. No leap in progress has fixed the sin problem—it has only made it easier to distract our hearts instead of examine them.

Thousands of religions fill the world, but one claim sets Christianity apart: the grave could not hold Jesus. Because He rose, those who follow Him are remade to live a wholly different life.

Spring Cleaning for the Soul: What Hides in Your Heart

Spring cleaning forces a house to surrender all it hid through winter. The same is true of the heart, where we tuck away clutter until it feels reasonable. The work most needed is within.

Death Row by Divine Design: Why Jesus Had to Die

Death row inmates wait over a decade to die; Jesus' walk to Calvary took minutes. Yet His was no accident of corrupt courts. Every lawless hand served the predetermined purpose of God for our redemption.

A forgotten alarm and a vivid dream left one believer tasting the weight of his own mortality. In that moment, eternity hung on a single question: is the saving work of Jesus real? It is — and it changes how we live each remaining day.

What You See Is Not What You Get: Guarding the Heart’s Eyes

Taste buds fade in days, but sight rules every waking moment, and we trust our eyes more than what God writes on our hearts. When Moses vanished from view, Israel demanded gods they could see. Guard what you let your eyes hold.

The Mocker in You: When Cynicism Drowns the Spirit

When the Spirit fell at Pentecost, some onlookers dismissed it as drunkenness. That same skeptical reflex can take root in a believer's heart, dulling the hope and love Christ died to give. Ask God to address the mocker in you.

What Does This Mean? Hearing God Beyond the Dictionary

The crowd at Pentecost understood every word — and still asked what it meant. Knowing the definitions of Scripture is not the same as knowing what it means for you. God still intends His Word to land somewhere deeper than the page.

When The Galileans Sound Just Like Parthians

At Pentecost, God didn't just let Parthians sound like Parthians — He made Galileans speak like them. The miracle wasn't sameness; it was crossing over. The same Spirit still calls His people to step outside the familiar so others can hear.

Available and Obedient: How Galileans Shocked the Nations

Uneducated Galileans speaking the languages of the known world — and the only explanation was that they had made themselves available to the Holy Spirit. The same Spirit lives in us.
