“Be careful that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit based on human tradition, based on the elements of the world, rather than Christ.” – Colossians 2:8 It is possible to look like you are doing great and still be falling apart on the inside. You show up. You know the language. You stay involved. From the outside, everything looks solid. Inside, something feels thin, dry, ...  Read More

“He is like a tree planted beside flowing streams that bears its fruit in its season, and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.” – Psalm 1:3 It is easy to measure your life by what you can see. Progress feels real when results show up. Growth feels valid when something changes on the outside. When that fruit takes longer than expected, discouragement creeps in fast. You start wond...  Read More

“I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” – Galatians 2:20 Trying to look like a good Christian can be exhausting. You say the right things, show up when expected, and keep moving even when your heart feels tired. On the outside, things look fine. Insid...  Read More

“Christ in you, the hope of glory.” – Colossians 1:27 A lot of people believe Jesus is in charge but still feel alone in their day-to-day life. They know Christ rules heaven. They trust His authority. Yet when anxiety hits or weakness shows up, it can feel like God is distant, watching from above instead of present within. That gap is where many believers quietly struggle. The gospel offers someth...  Read More

“And you were dead in your trespasses and sins.” – Ephesians 2:1 It is easy to think the problem with our lives is that we need to do better. Try harder. Clean a few things up. Add better habits. Be more disciplined. That way of thinking feels natural because it keeps control in our hands. But Scripture tells a very different story about what was actually wrong. Before Christ, we were not just str...  Read More

“He is before all things, and by him all things hold together.” - Colossians 1:17 Some days can feel like you are just barely holding it together. Energy is low. Emotions are heavy. Motivation comes and goes. You still show up, still function, still smile when needed, but inside, you know how close everything feels to unraveling. That quiet exhaustion can make faith feel fragile. What steadies mom...  Read More

“He is before all things, and by him all things hold together.” – Colossians 1:17 There are moments when life stops feeling manageable. Things you thought were stable start slipping. Relationships strain, plans unravel, energy runs out, and it feels like everything is coming undone at the same time. You may still be showing up and holding it together on the outside, but inside, it feels fragile, s...  Read More

“For the entire fullness of God’s nature dwells bodily in Christ, and you have been filled by him, who is the head over every ruler and authority.” – Colossians 2:9-10 Most people do not reject Jesus outright. They just quietly reduce Him. He becomes a piece of life instead of the center of it. A helper when things get hard. A spiritual option among many others. That sounds harmless, but it change...  Read More

“So then, just as you have received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to walk in him, being rooted and built up in him and established in the faith.” – Colossians 2:6–7 Many people have had an experience with Jesus without ever submitting to Him as Lord. They felt something in a moment, made a decision, or responded to a need. Over time, when pressure showed up, their faith began to wobble. Experienc...  Read More

“Being rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, overflowing with gratitude.” – Colossians 2:7 Storms reveal more than they create. Pressure does not invent weakness; it exposes what was already there. When life shakes, what we are rooted in is revealed quickly. Some faith looks strong in calm weather but collapses the moment hardship arrives. Other faith st...  Read More

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” – Hebrews 13:8 Every December, the world starts talking about new beginnings. We make resolutions, set goals, and tell ourselves that this will be the year we finally get it right. There is nothing wrong with wanting to grow, but real stability does not come from a calendar change. It comes from Christ. You do not need a fresh start. You ne...  Read More

“For my own sake, yes, for my own sake, I will act; for how can my name be profaned? I will not give my glory to another.” – Isaiah 48:11 Salvation is one of the greatest gifts we will ever receive, but it is not only about us. God saves us for His glory. He rescues us to display His power, His love, and His mercy to a world that desperately needs Him. We are not saved just to escape hell. We are ...  Read More
