Church Talk

Tithing isn’t fund-raising; it’s heart-shaping. The first tenth belongs to God, not because He needs money but because He longs for trust, holiness, and love from His people. When treasure is returned to its rightful Owner, windows of heaven open, the devourer is rebuked, and revival begins—personally and corporately.

🚫 Skip the church-hopping cycle and get rooted in purpose. When you’re always moving, you miss the growth that comes from staying planted. God's design is for you to flourish—not in a pot, but in rich, life-giving soil. True spiritual maturity happens when we submit to godly leadership, endure pruning, and grow where we’ve been placed. Don’t shop for comfort; dig in for transformation. 🌱

Scripture References:

• Psalm 92:1...

When we under-promise and over-deliver, we build trust, momentum, and open the door for God to exceed expectations in our lives. Whether in marriage, fitness, or faith, setting realistic goals and surpassing them creates lasting growth. Just like Abraham, who offered little but gave much, exceeding his promise brought forth the long-awaited miracle. Start small, stay faithful, and let God do the rest.

Pain isn’t always purpose—it can be a warning. Some pain shapes you for your destiny, but other pain comes from harmful choices. The key is recognizing the difference. Let pain push you toward growth, not destruction. If you’re willing to change, even self-inflicted wounds can lead to healing. Don't just endure the pain—let it transform you.

When the focus is on souls, God moves. From puppet ministry to prayer meetings that lead to life-changing encounters, this episode is a passionate call to reclaim evangelism as a way of life. Whether it's teaching Bible studies, praying over a "Holy Ghost Radar" list, or hitting the streets with surveys and compassion, the message is clear: if you want to reach souls, God will make a way.

Fullness begins with emptying. To step into God’s kingdom, we must lay down the weights of pride, pleasure, and worldly ambition—just like the camel that must kneel and be unburdened to enter the city. This is not loss—it’s preparation. What we give up in repentance, God replaces with peace, joy, and the fullness of His Spirit.

In a world clouded by confusion and deception, the gift of discernment has never been more vital. True discernment flows from a deep relationship with the Holy Ghost, sharpening your vision to see what others can't. It's not about being critical—it's about being cautious, wise, and Spirit-led.

True holiness is not found in the extremes—it’s found in balance. When we lean too far left or right, even in our pursuit of truth, we risk losing the very thing that anchors us: the holiness of God. Balance isn’t compromise—it’s protection. Stay anchored, stay balanced, stay holy.

Revival starts with the young. When churches empower their youth to step into their God-given callings, entire congregations are transformed. Maturity isn't measured by age but by a willingness to grow, serve, and lead. From Jeremiah to the disciples, scripture is clear—God uses young people to shift nations.

Eternity is not a distant concept—it’s an unavoidable reality. Every heartbeat moves us closer to a destination that cannot be escaped, avoided, or delayed. Heaven or hell, the choice is ours—decided not in the afterlife, but now, through obedience and surrender. Let the urgency of eternity ignite a fire in your soul.

True holiness begins in the heart—but it doesn’t stop there. God’s people are called to reflect His beauty, not the world’s version of it. The blessing of adornment becomes a burden when it distracts us from the One who gave it. We don’t need the approval of culture to know our worth—we are royalty, set apart. Let your outward life reflect the inward transformation.

Scripture References:

• Hebrews 12:14

• 1 Timothy 2:9

God is all-sufficient—He holds the universe together and lacks nothing. Yet there’s one thing He desires from us: a response. Miracles, healing, deliverance, peace—they’re all at our feet, but only our response can pick them up. Don’t wait for the perfect moment or someone else’s cue. Lift your hands, open your heart, and respond. That's when everything changes.

Scripture References:

• Psalm 50:12

• Philippians 4:19

• Revelation ...

Holiness isn’t about judgment—it’s about love, reverence, and relationship. True separation from the world begins in the heart and shows up in how we live, speak, and carry ourselves. Modesty and restraint in adornment aren't burdens—they're expressions of a heart fully devoted to Him. Let your glow come from the Spirit within, not from the decorations outside.

You were never meant to face the fire alone. Even in the heat of your fiercest battle, God is right there with you—walking beside you, breaking your chains, and preparing your victory. The fire wasn’t sent to destroy you; it was sent to reveal who’s with you in the flame. You are part of a triumphant church, created to stand, to overcome, and to come out without even the smell of smoke. Don’t bow to fear, anxiety, or depression. Li...

God is one, and He has revealed Himself to us. From the Old Testament to the New, the Bible declares His oneness: "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord" (Deuteronomy 6:4). Jesus Himself confirmed this truth, declaring, "Before Abraham was, I am" (John 8:58). Understanding the oneness of God isn’t just theology—it’s the foundation of salvation.

It Is Not a Waste (SCORE 2012) | Dr. Johnny King

When Mary and the unnamed woman broke their alabaster boxes, they poured out their most precious treasures in an extravagant act of worship. True worship is costly—it requires breaking, surrender, and a willingness to give God our best without fear of what others may say. The world may call it wasteful, but Jesus calls it a memorial.
