Jesus' seven last statements on the cross reveal a profound depth of love and purpose that transcends the horrific torture he endured.

"Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." These powerful words from Jesus on the cross reveal a profound truth about our human condition - sin numbs us to reality.

The church's last forty years have been marked by recurring earthquakes of scandal and moral failure.

Drawing from persona...

Have you ever stopped to consider what worship truly means beyond our religious traditions? Worship isn't simply singing songs or going through motions—it's giving everything you have (your body, mind, and spirit) to someone you consider greater than yourself.
