Can people take you at your word? Too often, we’re quick to give our word, but slow to keep it. As followers of Jesus, we’re called to a kind of integrity where our “yes” or “no” carries so much weight that swearing becomes unnecessary, because our character speaks louder than any oath we could take. People should trust what we say simply because of who we are.
Why do we lie? Ultimately deception is rooted in self interest. We lie to make people think we're something we’re not, and we lie to keep people from knowing who we really are. As a result, we're never really known or trusted and our lives become one big cover-up.
Everybody lies. From fake news to fake people, lying is so common in our world that it’s hard to know who to trust or what to believe anymore. And it all started with a snake in a garden. As Christians, we’re called to be people of truth, not just with our words but with our actions.
Life is short, and representing Christ matters. So how should we speak? What should we do? How do we share our faith well? In his final words to the Colossians, Paul gives powerful insight into how to be an effective witness for Christ.
The gospel changes how we relate with others, starting with our family. Headship means sacrificial service, submission means prioritizing the mission, and parenting means leading with grace. When our minds are set on things above, even our work, family, and hardships become opportunities to show the world who Jesus is.
Are you ready for change? The good news of Jesus transforms how we think, live and relate with others. He has stripped away our old lives of sin and selfishness and given us new life marked by holiness, forgiveness and love. Don’t let your new life in Christ be marked by the same old things. Out with the old, in with the new!
Jesus is enough. If we’re not careful, we can easily trade grace for judgment, and the gospel for self-made religion. We spend our lives trying to earn what Jesus has already freely given. Let’s leave behind pride, shame, and performance and come back to the good news that in Christ we're forgiven, free and fully accepted by God
The gospel is the best news we could ever receive. In Jesus, we have been given new life, true joy, and a reason to be thankful. His grace changes everything. The question is, are we actively experiencing it?
Paul embraced pain and suffering so that others could gain by knowing and growing in Christ. Why don’t we do the same? Maybe it's because we’re unwilling to even be inconvenienced or uncomfortable, let alone suffer like he did. But every friend of Jesus is an enemy of this world—and following him will always come at a cost.
No matter how complex and complicated life might get, it all comes back to Jesus—knowing him, loving him, becoming like
him. He is the Creator and Sustainer of all things, the One who holds the universe—and our lives—together. He shows us who God is and restores his image in us. Don't get distracted by lesser things. It’s all about Jesus. Do you know him?
When the world seems to be falling apart, we must fall back on the hope we have in the good news of Jesus Christ. God is still working in the midst of evil and suffering, redeeming and restoring people to him.
Nothing matters more than the gospel. God went above and beyond, sending Jesus to redeem us—so we can live above and beyond the worries of this world. The gospel changes everything, yet we don’t always live like it’s true. Will you boldly share the good news with others?
For many of us, generosity is not about fighting greed but about facing fear. We want to give and support others, yet the thought still comes, if I give, what will happen to me? Jesus reminds us in Matthew 6 that our Father knows what we need and will provide. Generosity is not a loss; it’s a way to lean on God’s care and faithfulness.
Giving is an act of worship—declaring the worth of Jesus in our lives. If the worth of something is determined by its cost, then there’s no true worship without sacrifice. What does how we live and give tell us about how much we value Jesus? If he’s not worth more than our finances, we’ll never be free to follow him.
The number one cause of stress in the average American’s life is finances. The most common source of conflict for couples both before and after marriage is finances. Money worries are not only harming our mental health and relationships—they’re pulling us away from Jesus. In the midst of financial hardship and stress, Jesus is calling us to freedom. Are you willing to follow or will you walk away?
Nothing is lost that can’t be found by Jesus. No matter what we’ve done or how far we’ve wandered, we are never beyond the redeeming reach of God’s grace. If you’re stuck in the mess and emptiness of your sin—what are you waiting for? Come to your senses and go Home. You’re heavenly Father is waiting.
Luke 15
When our sin doesn’t bring immediate consequences it’s easy to think we’re getting away with it. We get lulled into a false sense of security, believing we’re the exception to God’s rules. But the consequences of sin will always catch up to us. God’s grace isn’t given as a license to sin—it’s meant to draw us to repentance.
Nobody sets out to ruin their life or hurt the people they care about. It usually starts with small compromises, choices we justify or ignore because they seem minor. Samson's life proves that our own character can be our greatest threat.
