The Danger of Self-Love: Deny Yourself and Follow Christ

The Danger of Self-Love: Deny Yourself and Follow Christ

Blog, Daily Life, Spiritual Growth
In today’s world, we are constantly told to believe in ourselves, to love ourselves above all, and to put our desires first. This message is everywhere — in self-help books, social media, and even popular culture. However, as followers of Christ, we must ask: Is this the message that God teaches us? The Word of God provides a very different instruction — one of self-denial, trust in Him, and total devotion to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The First Commandment: Love God Above All Jesus made it clear that our first and greatest commandment is to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind: “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy…

The New Testament: Apologetics’ Greatest Weapon for Defending the Faith

The New Testament: Apologetics’ Greatest Weapon for Defending the Faith

Apologetics, Blog
In a world filled with skepticism, spiritual confusion, and constant questions about truth, few things are more powerful in defending Christianity than this fact: The New Testament is the best-preserved and most-attested document in all of ancient history. That’s not a religious slogan — it’s a historical reality. And it changes the way we respond to some of the most pressing doubts people have today about the Bible, Jesus, and the Christian faith. In this post, we’ll unpack why this is such a cornerstone of Christian apologetics — and why you can trust the New Testament not just theologically, but historically.   Why It Matters in Apologetics Christian apologetics isn’t about winning arguments — it’s about removing obstacles to faith by providing truth with grace and reason. And one of the most common…

Defending the Faith: Solid Arguments for God’s Existence and the Truth of Christianity

Defending the Faith: Solid Arguments for God’s Existence and the Truth of Christianity

Apologetics, Blog
In a world filled with skepticism, atheism, and relativism, Christians are increasingly challenged to defend their faith. Many unbelievers ask, “How do you know God exists? Where is your proof? Why would a good God allow evil?” These are not new questions, but they deserve clear, biblical, and rational answers. This article presents solid arguments for the existence of God and the truth of Christianity, equipping believers to stand firm and speak boldly. 1. The Universe Demands a Creator (Cosmological Argument) Everything that begins to exist must have a cause. The universe began to exist, as even science confirms through the Big Bang theory. Therefore, the universe must have a cause that is outside of time, space, and matter. That cause must be eternal, powerful, and intelligent. The Bible affirms:…

The Battle for Truth: Reflections from a Protestant Evangelical Christian on Today’s Bookstores

The Battle for Truth: Reflections from a Protestant Evangelical Christian on Today’s Bookstores

Blog, News & Discernment
While walking past a well-known bookstore during the Mother’s Day season, I stopped to look at their front window display with my wife. Dozens of books, colorful and full of emotional messages, were proudly showcased. But as I examined the content with spiritual discernment, what I saw was deeply troubling: a clear and growing spiritual deception in our modern culture. God without Christ. Faith without the Cross. False Light in Plain Sight. One book caught my eye: “New Scientific Evidence of the Existence of God” by José Carlos González-Hurtado. As a committed Evangelical Protestant Christian, I initially hoped it might be similar to books by Lee Strobel or J. Warner Wallace — books that defend the Christian faith with clarity and boldness. I bought it with that expectation. Also with the excitement…

Fear is one of the enemy’s greatest weapons. Satan uses fear, lies, and false accusations to weaken believers, distract us from God’s truth, and steal our peace. But as Christians, we are not left defenseless. God has given us His Word as a powerful arsenal to combat fear and every fiery dart of the enemy. This post is a go-to tool filled with powerful New Testament verses from the King James Version (KJV) to help you reject lies, stand strong, and live boldly in the victory Christ has won for you. 1. God Has Not Given Us Fear “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” — 2 Timothy 1:7 Whenever fear grips your heart, remember: it is…

How to Deal with Nightmare Spiritual Warfare as a Christian

How to Deal with Nightmare Spiritual Warfare as a Christian

Blog, Daily Life, Spiritual Growth
The other day I had a horrible nightmare, seemingly out of nowhere. In this dream, I was part of a gruesome, horrific, and violent murder scene — and I was the one committing the act. It was disturbing and sickening. I’ve never been a violent person neither would ever have these horrible tendencies or wish them to anyone (now even more so as a Christian), so waking up from that dream left me deeply shaken and confused. I mentioned this dream to my wife and I thought that I might have been under attack possibly. Coincidentally, I used to watch horror movies before I was a Christian since I was a kid as young as 6 years of age, having grown up in the 80’s and 90’s, I loved horror…

Review of ‘Conclave’: A Blasphemous Woke Attack on Catholicism and Christianity

Review of ‘Conclave’: A Blasphemous Woke Attack on Catholicism and Christianity

Blog, News & Discernment
In the recent film Conclave, Hollywood once again reveals its agenda to undermine and attacking traditional Christian values under the guise of progressive storytelling. The film portrays a fictional papal election that ultimately results in a woman who presents herself as a man being elected as the Pope. This narrative, presented as a moral and virtuous outcome, is a blatant distortion of biblical principles and a clear insult to Catholicism and Christianity as a whole. As an evangelical Protestant Christian, I found this portrayal deeply offensive, not only to the Catholic Church but to all who hold to biblical truth. It is not surprising that Hollywood would craft such a narrative, given its ongoing pattern of promoting anti-Christian ideologies, but the brazenness with which it is done in Conclave is particularly alarming. The…
