Cain murders his brother Abel, and violence shapes the human story. As history unfolds, Scripture records battles fought for survival, justice, power, and at... Read more

Introduction Life has a way of shaking us. Unexpected storms come—whether through loss, uncertainty, or the weight of responsibilities—and in those moments, it’s easy to feel like the ground beneath us is slipping away.

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth gives way…” (Psalm 46:1–2) The psalm... Read more

Introduction The world is in a crisis! But the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which the body of Christ should not be in crisis! Without questions, this has been one of the most unprecedented political seasons I have witnessed. Anxiety, anger, rhetoric and fear are still off the Richter scale. We are living in difficult and dangerous times, clear in the attitudes and actions of people recording in 2 Timothy 3:1-4. Emotions are probably still draining many physically because... Read more

Obstacles to Spiritual Growth Our limited knowledge and concept of God are obstacles to our spiritual growth. We say we believe God cares and loves us. We quote scriptures. We say we believe He’s all-powerful, all-knowing and all-wise…we say all the right things, and all the true things about God. However, when trouble knocks on our door, we open it wide and let everything we said we believe leave out the door. Rephrase: we open the door wide with emotions... Read more
