  “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?” — Jeremiah 17:9 (ESV) “No way—I could never do what Hitler did.” We’ve all said something like that. We distance ourselves from the worst monsters of history as if they were born with black smoke coming out of their ears and hellfire in their eyes. But here’s a sobering thought: What if they weren’t monsters to start with? What if they were people… just like us? That might sound dramatic. But take a good look around. Right now, we’re watching the Gaza-Israel conflict unfold—and it’s not just about land or politics anymore. It’s emotion. It’s trauma. It’s generational rage. And if (God forbid) some surrounding nations decided to cross the border to “free” Gaza or “punish” Israel, do we really think they’d carefully spare the innocent? I don’t know. But I do worry. Because history suggests they wo...

  “For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law.”  — Romans 2:14 (ESV) Have you ever caught yourself saying, “That’s not fair!” — even when you’re the one stealing someone else’s lunch? Yeah, me too. Or thought, “I don’t like it when people lie" but when it comes to you, you say maybe this little white lie won’t hurt… ” — only to find yourself doing exactly the thing you say you hate in others. If you’ve ever done this, congratulations: you just discovered the Moral Law in action. C.S. Lewis, the legendary Christian thinker, wasn’t just some old professor playing with words when he wrote Mere Christianity . He said something simple yet wild: we all know there’s a “right” and a “wrong” — even when we try to convince ourselves otherwise. You don’t need a PhD to figure this out. Just look around: Why does a thief say, “That’s not fair!” when someone s...

  Ever wonder how real change actually happens in a person? It’s not always loud. It’s not instant. Most of the time, it starts small—with a seed of God’s Word planted deep inside our hearts. When we spend time in Scripture, it starts reshaping how we think, see ourselves, and react to life. That’s not just reading—that’s transformation. I used to carry a lot of negative thoughts about myself. But little by little, God's Word began to challenge those lies. Verses like “I am fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14) became more than memory verses—they became healing truths. Now I don’t just read the Bible. I try to absorb it. Like when Jesus says “Don’t worry,” I ask: How can I trust Him more practically today? When He says “Stand still and see My salvation,” I practice quiet confidence instead of panic. Change starts with believing what God says. Not just hearing it—but letting it rewire us. Truth: The first miracle God often does in us is not around us, but *in us.* Let God’s...

 There’s a lie that hides in spiritual language: “If I just pray more, do more, fix this habit, overcome this temptation — then I’ll finally be enough.” But here’s the truth I’ve had to wrestle into my bones: I will never add up. Not on my own. And that’s exactly why grace is so offensive, and so beautiful. I thought God wanted a cleaned-up version of me — polished, consistent, powerful. But I’ve discovered He wants something far more difficult: the real me. The me who stumbles. The me who doubts. The me who still flinches when I fail. Because Christ didn’t come to upgrade my old self. He came to crucify it — and resurrect something entirely new. We don’t meet God's standard by self-improvement. We meet it by union — by dying with Christ, and rising with Him. “Apart from Me, you can do nothing.” (John 15:5) That’s not a threat. That’s an invitation. Truth Points:  You weren’t saved because you were worthy — you were sav...

 Back then, I thought purpose was something I had to chase down — some big mystery I had to solve before I could start living. But now I’ve realized: purpose isn’t a trophy for the qualified — it’s a road for the obedient. You don’t find purpose like it’s buried treasure. You walk into it, one obedient yes at a time. I used to think purpose was a spotlight moment. Now I know — it’s a series of small obediences in the dark. Not a stage. A cross. Not applause. An altar. Purpose isn’t about what makes me feel alive — it’s about what God breathed into me when He formed me in secret . It’s about becoming the kind of vessel He can trust with His heart, not just His assignments. Some truths I’ve learned: You can be “doing great things” and still be off-purpose. You can be hidden and silent and still be directly in step with God’s will. Your gifts aren’t your purpose — they’re tools. Your calling is to Christ. We get stuck asking, “What am I called to do?” when we should b...

  The world sells you a mask: never cry, never bend, never need. But Christ wore no mask—He sweat blood in prayer  (Luke 22:44) , asked friends to stay awake with Him  (Matt. 26:38) , and cried over a city that rejected Him  (Luke 19:41) and wept when his friend Lazarus died (John 11:35) . If the Son of God wasn’t afraid of His own humanity, why are you?" Philippians 2:5-10 says : 5, For* let this mindset be in you°, which was also in Christ Jesus:      6, who, existing in the form of God, did not deem it a seizure to be equal to God,      7, but emptied himself, having taken the form of a bondservant, when* he became in the likeness of men; -- the God of the universe chose surrender.     8, and having been found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, when* he became obedient as far as death, and even death from a cross. --- the most vulnerable moment in history became the most victorious.     9, Hence, God also hig...
