Romans 8:28 — Even When I Don’t Understand, God Is Still at Work

Romans 8:28 — Even When I Don’t Understand, God Is Still at Work

Bible Study, Blog
Introduction: When the Pieces Don’t Fit There are seasons in life when everything feels disconnected. Difficult circumstances, closed doors, decisions that didn’t bear fruit, broken relationships. In those moments, we often ask: Where is God in all of this? Romans 8:28 is one of the verses that has brought the most comfort to God’s people throughout history. But it’s also one that can be misinterpreted when read as a superficial or automatic encouragement. This verse does not say that everything that happens is good. It does not say that God approves of everything that happens. What it says is much deeper: God has the power and intention to transform even pain into purpose — if we are willing to trust Him and love Him. Today, we’ll break down this passage…

Jeremiah 29:11 — When I Don’t Understand, I Can Still Trust

Jeremiah 29:11 — When I Don’t Understand, I Can Still Trust

Bible Study, Blog
Introduction: How Do You Trust When Everything Feels Confusing? There are seasons in life when the future feels uncertain. Frustrated plans, unexpected news, closed doors. And in those dark days, we begin to ask: What is God doing? Does any of this make sense? Does He really have a plan for me? Jeremiah 29:11 is one of the most quoted verses when we talk about God’s purpose. And while we often hear it used as a generic or motivational promise, this verse holds a much deeper power — especially when we understand when and why it was written. God wasn’t speaking to a people who were comfortable or successful. He was speaking to a people in exile — afflicted, humiliated, and far from home. That’s why this verse isn’t a…

How AI Can Be a Tool for the Gospel (With Caution and Discernment)

How AI Can Be a Tool for the Gospel (With Caution and Discernment)

Daily Life, News & Discernment, Technology
Once upon a time, Christian creators had to fight to get access to platforms — printing presses, radio stations, TV shows. Today, the battlefield has changed, and so have the tools. We’re not just dealing with microphones and guitars anymore. We’re now working with AI — and it’s everywhere. For some, that sounds scary and it has it's share of positives and negatives. As a Christian and also tech person in the industry in my secular job (Software Engineer)..For me AI, it sounds like a God-given opportunity. Let me explain. AI Isn’t the Message — It’s Just the Tool There’s a growing fear that AI is replacing human creativity. And yes, when people let AI generate full sermons, devotionals, or music without any conviction behind or worse fake content preaching…

Jesus — The Son of God Made Man

Jesus — The Son of God Made Man

Blog, Lives that Speak
Why study the life of Jesus? There are people who changed history... And then there’s Jesus, who changed eternity. We’re not talking about a mere prophet, a moral teacher, or a revolutionary leader or religious symbol. Jesus is the center of the universe, the Savior of the world, the Son of God made flesh. Studying His life is not about getting to know a character— It’s about encountering the One who loved us first. It’s knowing that God Himself chose to walk our streets, speak our language, feel our pain—and He did it all out of love. It’s looking up to heaven and realizing that heaven came down. Brief Biography Name: Jesus (Yeshua in Hebrew) — Meaning: “Yahweh saves” Earthly parents: Mary (virgin mother) and Joseph (legal father) Birth: Around…

Passionate Christians: Called to Truth, Cautious of Legalism

Passionate Christians: Called to Truth, Cautious of Legalism

Blog, News & Discernment, Spiritual Growth
In an increasingly dark and morally confused world, God is raising up passionate Christians — men and women whose hearts burn with the Gospel, who are zealous for truth, and unafraid to call out sin. These believers are not lukewarm, not seeking the world’s approval, and are committed to proclaiming the Word with boldness and clarity. I feel this is my calling in life. I have never been so passionate in my life about something than the love I feel for our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ, sharing the Gospel, learning about apologetics. I feel it’s my calling and I want the Lord to use me and now I feel it’s the time in my life to fullfill the Lords purpose for my life. This passion is urgent. As Franklin…

Philippians 4:13 — Can I Really Do All Things Through Christ?

Philippians 4:13 — Can I Really Do All Things Through Christ?

Bible Study, Blog
Introduction: A Popular Phrase That Needs to Be RediscoveredSome verses sound so powerful that they stick in the minds of believers and non-believers alike. They appear on T-shirts, motivational posts, bracelets, gym walls, and personal development speeches.Philippians 4:13 is one of those verses.“I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”But far too often, this declaration is taken out of context. It’s associated with the idea that “I can achieve anything I set my mind to,” as if Christ were merely fuel for personal ambition or human success.That’s why it’s worth pausing and looking more deeply. To see what Paul was actually saying. To consider what he was living through when he wrote these words. And to break down each word — not to complicate the message, but…

Why Gravity Didn’t Create the Universe: A Logical, Brilliant, Biblical Response to Modern Atheism by J Warner Wallace

Why Gravity Didn’t Create the Universe: A Logical, Brilliant, Biblical Response to Modern Atheism by J Warner Wallace

Apologetics, Blog
God Crime Scene - J Warner Wallace Modern atheism often leans on scientific-sounding claims to dismiss the need for God in explaining the origin of the universe. One of the most popular arguments in recent years — made famous by the late theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking — states that: “Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing.”— Stephen Hawking, The Grand Design (2010) To many, this sounds profound. To the discerning thinker, however — especially one grounded in logic and real truth (proven by historical and legal apologetics that affirm Christ is the Son of God and God created the universe as well we see in this article) — this claim collapses under scrutiny.  For skeptics, investigate the evidence yourself, as journalist-turned-apologist…

Christianity and Nationalism In the U.S: A Biblical and Historical Perspective

Christianity and Nationalism In the U.S: A Biblical and Historical Perspective

News & Discernment
The phrase “Christian Nationalism” has become one of the most divisive and weaponized terms in American politics by the lefy extreme. For some, it means Christians forcing their faith on everyone. For others, it means returning to a moral foundation in government. For critics, it’s a label meant to smear anyone who believes Christianity should influence public life. But here’s the truth i think: Americans must separate the dangerous distortion of nationalism from the biblical calling of Christians in society. I think the role is not conquest but faithfulness. As Pastor Joe Schimmel from the Good Fight Ministries has said (which I think is the healthiest most biblically grounded ministry I have seen and follow), we are called to fulfill the Great Commission, not the Great Conquest. America’s Foundations: Influenced by…

Psalm 23:1 — If the Lord Is My Shepherd, What Could I Possibly Lack?

Psalm 23:1 — If the Lord Is My Shepherd, What Could I Possibly Lack?

Bible Study, Blog
Introduction: When Simplicity Reveals Depth Some passages in the Bible seem so simple that we might be tempted to overlook them. They’re verses we memorized in childhood, recited without thinking, or saw embroidered on blankets and framed in homes. Psalm 23:1 is one of those verses. But beneath its simplicity lies a depth that touches every area of our lives. This verse is not just a poetic statement. It’s a declaration of identity, of trust, of living faith. It’s the voice of someone who has been pursued, humiliated, strengthened, and restored — and who, through it all, can still say with unwavering confidence: “I lack nothing.” That’s why I chose this verse to unpack with you — word by word. Because the more we look at it, the more we…

When Loving Means Letting Go: Spiritual Discernment in Broken Family Relationships

When Loving Means Letting Go: Spiritual Discernment in Broken Family Relationships

Blog, Daily Life, News & Discernment, Spiritual Growth
Some decisions aren’t made with the mind or the heart — but with the spirit. Especially when dealing with broken family relationships marked by deep hurt, betrayal, or abandonment. Sometimes, the pain is so great that the heart starts making excuses: “Maybe it wasn’t their fault,” “Perhaps they’re sick or confused,” “What if I regret not speaking to them if something happens?” These questions may come from a sincere desire to heal — but without spiritual clarity, they can become an emotional trap. 1. The heart must be guarded “The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?” — Jeremiah 17:9 (NIV) When our heart longs to reconnect with someone who has wounded us, we must discern whether that desire comes from the Holy Spirit —…
