Drift

Spiritual drift rarely begins with rebellion—it starts with distraction. Learn how to recognize the warning signs and re-anchor your heart in Christ before the current carries you away.

Grace

One of the greatest gifts in our life with JESUS Christ is when He opens our eyes to His Word in fresh ways. We discover His plan unfolding through the ages, His salvation by grace through faith, and His unshakable promises. These discoveries often ignite in us a new zeal for truth—and rightly so. But … Continue reading Grace →

Ordinary

In a world that measures worth in clicks, likes, and views, it’s easy to feel overlooked—like your life doesn’t count unless it’s trending. But JESUS doesn’t call influencers. He calls followers. He’s not looking for viral content—He’s looking for surrendered hearts. The courage of Peter and John in Acts 4:13 wasn’t born from self-confidence or popularity. It came from one thing: they had been with JESUS.

The wisdom of God, it seems, is lamenting to God.

Barnabas

Over Thanksgiving break during my sophomore year of college in 1987, Walt Baker asked me to consider going to Haiti on a 9-week missions trip with him and others the following summer. As a struggling college student, finances were tight to say the least. I anticipated needing to save money and work all summer long … Continue reading Barnabas →

Saints

“Saint” seems to be the apostle Paul’s favorite name for Christians. He used it 39 times to describe faithful followers of Jesus: Romans 1:7  To all who are in Roman, loved by God, called as saints. Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.  Romans 8:27  And he who searches our hearts … Continue reading Saints →
