We love renovation shows—new floors, fresh paint, open kitchens. But Jesus says when it comes to our souls, renovation isn’t enough - we need rebirth. In John 3, He offers something far better than self-improvement: new birth. Eternal life isn’t achieved—it’s received only by believing in Him.
Everyone is pointing somewhere—but John points to Someone. Not advice. Not influence. Not self-improvement. Just one simple invitation: Behold the Lamb. What does it mean to look to Jesus—and believe?
In a world full of voices, God did not send more opinions—He sent His Son. The eternal Word became flesh, full of grace and truth. The right response is not more effort, but awe: behold Him, believe Him, and worship the Word made flesh.
Thanksgiving is more than a holiday -- it's a perspective that recognizes God's goodness in all circumstances. While it doesn't remove suffering, it affirms His presence and love, reminding us to trust and be thankful for His faithfulness today and everyday.
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.
When someone is grieving, it matters less what you say than that you say something. Your presence, not your precision, is what comforts the most.
We have a place for weeping and mourning at Christmas because of the pain following Jesus’ birth. People experienced death, violence, injustice, abuse of power, and homelessness. Life, including the Christmas season, is marked by birth and celebration as well as death and loss. This is where the Bible offers a unique perspective through pain and sorrow: hope.
The cross, a symbol of horror, was the expression of God's love through His Son's atoning sacrifice. The death of Jesus on a cross on that Friday long ago was good for those who believe He died for their sin because Sunday's coming, too.
Whenever we face political turmoil, personal trials, painful tragedies in our lives, we can simply endure them, we can try to escape them, or we can entrust our lives to God through them. The Book of Ruth encourages us to hope in God in hopeless times because our Savior, Redeemer, and Friend, JESUS, is the King of kings.
Like many gifts for Christmas, birthdays, special occasions, God's gift of grace has become expected. We forget that God's grace is a gift - an unnecessary and costly one.
