"He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" - Micah 6:8   Faithfulness is the cornerstone of living a truly good life. But how do you actually produce faithfulness in your own life? The answer lies in walking humbly with God. Psalm 37:23 tells us, “The steps of a good man are ordered by the LOR...  Read More

“I am coming soon. Hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize your crown.” - Revelation 3:11   Jesus promises His church, "I am coming soon." Other translations say, "I am coming quickly," which captures the essence of the original Greek word used here. This word refers to the speed of His return, not the timing. It’s where we get our English word “tachometer,” which measures the rapidity o...  Read More

"And he who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it." - Revelation 2:16   In today's world, spiritual compromise often sneaks into our lives unnoticed. It's not always about outrightly rejecting...  Read More

“Don’t be afraid. I am the First and the Last.” - Revelation 1:17   In Revelation 1:17, Jesus repeats a crucial command: “Don’t be afraid.” He reassures us, saying, “I am the First and the Last.” For the early Christians facing intense persecution, these words were a powerful reminder of His eternal nature and His presence with them through every trial. When we love Jesus, follow Him, and trust Hi...  Read More

“Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is now and what will take place later.” - Revelation 1:19   In the book of Revelation, we find letters addressed to seven literal churches. These messages aren't just for those churches; they reveal seven types of church members, too. As we dive into these letters over the next few days, let’s set the stage by understanding a bit more about the author, J...  Read More

"To the faithful saints in Christ Jesus at Ephesus." - Ephesians 1:1   One of the greatest tricks the devil plays on Christians today is convincing us we are something other than who God says we are. He loves planting seeds in our lives that lead to us having a poor self-image and an incorrect view of who we are. I believe there are people reading this who have been saved and are living “in Christ...  Read More

"When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory." - Colossians 3:4   If you were to ask me today what the secrets to sacrifice are, I would start with this: Jesus doesn't want just a part of you; He wants all of you. He doesn't desire a fraction of your life; He wants to be your life. Let that sink in for a moment. Colossians 3:4 declares, "When Christ, who is yo...  Read More

"Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: 'The one I kiss is the man; arrest him.'" - Matthew 26:48   I want you to take a minute and think about the disciples and the crowds who fervently believed in Jesus as the Christ, the Messiah, the Son of David. They witnessed His miracles, heard His teachings, and acknowledged His fulfillment of prophecies. They understood the significance of His ...  Read More

"Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong. Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few. A dream comes when there are many cares, and many words mark the speech of a fool. When you ...  Read More
