What Should Christians Think About Islam? A Biblical Comparison of Two Kingdoms
There is a 1,400-year conflict between Christianity and Islam that most people in the Western world have largely forgotten. Understanding this conflict, and what the Bible says about it, is essential for every follower of Jesus who wants to be spiritually prepared and equipped to share the gospel in today’s world. Why Is This Conversation […]
Why Does God Allow Suffering? What the Bible Says About Pain, Faith, and a Loving God
One of the most honest questions anyone can ask is this: if God is loving and all-powerful, why does He allow suffering? It is a question that shows up in philosophy classrooms, Reddit threads, hospital waiting rooms, and quiet moments of grief. John chapter 11 offers a powerful answer, both for the mind and for […]
HOW DO I CHANGE THE THINGS I DON’T LIKE ABOUT ME?
Every one of us has looked in the mirror, physically or spiritually, and thought, I wish I could change. Maybe it’s your temper. Your anxiety. A recurring temptation. A habit you promised would be the last time. Perhaps you’ve wondered, Why am I still struggling? I thought I’d be further along by now. If you’ve ever asked […]
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 […]
