HOW CAN JESUS BE THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN?
In a culture that celebrates endless options, one of the most challenging claims of Christianity is also one of its most central: Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven. Many people ask, “How can there be only one way?” Others wonder, “Aren’t all religions basically teaching the same thing?” Still others believe that sincerity […]
HOW DO I FORGIVE?
Forgiveness is one of the hardest commands in the Christian life. Not because we do not understand the words. But because wounds are real. Some people carry deep pain: betrayal, harsh words, abandonment, broken trust, rejection, divorce, abuse, disappointment, or years of unresolved hurt. And when pain lingers, bitterness quietly begins to grow. The Bible […]
I HAVE HOPE IN JESUS CHRIST
This is the year of community. And for most of us, the closest and often most complicated community we experience is family. There is no joy like family joy, and no pain like family pain. When family is thriving, life feels full. When it’s fractured, it drains everything. Many people quietly carry phrases that feel […]
WHO’S YOUR ONE?
We live in a world where it’s easy to drift, with busy schedules, constant noise, and endless distractions. Before you know it, you can “click” your way through life, skipping the hard conversations, avoiding uncomfortable moments, and missing the very reason you’re here. But Scripture pulls us back. In Colossians 4, Paul gives a […]
A MARRIAGE THAT HONORS JESUS
Marriage doesn’t naturally drift toward health; it drifts toward distance. Left on autopilot, even good marriages can slowly become marked by frustration, silence, or simple coexistence. What changes everything isn’t just better communication tools or more intentional date nights (though those are helpful). The real difference maker is the gospel actively shaping your home. When […]
THINGS ABOVE
In Colossians 3:1–11, Paul the Apostle shifts from theology to application. After spending two chapters explaining the greatness of Jesus Christ and the new life believers have in Him, Paul now shows what that life should look like in practice. A simple principle drives this passage: what we believe shapes how we live. Christian doctrine […]
JESUS VS. RELIGION: WHY THE GOSPEL IS DIFFERENT
Many people assume that being a good person, believing in God, or growing up in a Christian home automatically makes someone a follower of Jesus. But the Bible teaches something very different. In Colossians 2, the Apostle Paul explains that religion and the gospel are not the same thing. In fact, the gospel of Jesus […]
ALIEN TALK AND THE END-TIMES DELUSION: A BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE
In recent years, conversations about UFOs, extraterrestrials, and “disclosure” have moved from fringe speculation to mainstream headlines. Recently, President Obama said, “that aliens are ‘real’,” when asked about the comments. President Trump mentioned that it was classified information. For many Christians, this rising fascination raises an important question: could the growing talk about aliens be […]
THIS IS WHO I AM: UNDERSTANDING SUFFERING
A young guy asked me this week, “If you could go back to my age, what would you tell yourself?” I didn’t hesitate long. Marry Kate. Run from the culture’s view of success. Raise your kids with joy. Don’t waste time trying to impress people. Dig deep into the gospel now. Know Jesus, not just […]
THE JESUS WHO REFUSES TO BE SMALL
The letter to the Colossians was written to a church Paul didn’t plant—but one he deeply loved. Epaphras, their pastor, had likely come to faith under Paul’s ministry and returned home to plant this church. By all accounts, things were going well. And yet, the culture was quietly pressing in. Not a full rejection of […]
