  We often imagine power as a tool for transformation. Promotions, platforms, influence, or in fictional worlds, supernatural strength—each promises to change us, to elevate us into something more. But what if power doesn’t create something new in us? What if it only magnifies what’s already there? That’s the sobering theme reflected in Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions , where each villain who touches a Shard of the Tablet of Order and Chaos doesn’t become someone new—they become a louder version of themselves. Power Reveals, It Doesn’t Reinvent The Shifting Colossus A tragic figure, the Sandman receives a shard and fragments into multiple, conflicting personalities. He doesn’t become evil through the shard—it only surfaces his buried grief, anger, longing, and inner chaos. The power externalizes what was already warring inside. The Unyielding Boss (Hammerhead) Already obsessed with control and brute force, the s...

  There are moments in life when what we believe is suddenly held up next to what others hold sacred—and the contrast is jarring. It doesn’t always spark debate, but it often stirs something deeper: a quiet tension between conviction and compassion. You know the truth in your bones, but you also feel the weight of how you carry it. In those moments, faith stops being a script and becomes a question of posture. Not “Am I right?” but “Am I being Christlike?” Not “How can I win this?” but “How can I witness faithfully?” This is where God began to reframe my understanding—not just of what truth is, but how it should travel. With humility. With gentleness. With the kind of love that reflects the One who is both full of grace and truth. The Weight of Witness For a long time, I believed that being a faithful Christian meant being ready with an answer at every turn, as if truth were a sword to w...

  In a world saturated with voices, platforms, and personalities, the believer must cultivate a sharp, Spirit-led discernment. Not everything that sounds spiritual is scriptural. Not every dazzling message carries divine weight. Today, a new wave of charisma, influence, and "solutions" demands not just our attention, but our wisdom. It’s easy to be impressed. But it’s wiser to be grounded. 1. Watch the Message: Is the Gospel Being Rewritten? The first and most important test is doctrinal integrity. What is being said about God, the cross, grace, and humanity? • The Nature of God: One Person in Three, or One Actor with Three Roles? True biblical teaching affirms that God is one in essence, yet eternally three in Persons —Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. When teachings suggest that God merely switches masks (like a single actor playing different roles), we enter dangerous territory. Jesus didn’t pray to Himself. The Spirit isn’t just J...

  Life doesn’t just move—it crashes, whispers, cuts, and sometimes quietly heals. You’ve probably lived through those moments—the kind that don’t just break your heart, but expose it. A word, a silence, a goodbye that felt like theft. And in the quiet afterward, a thought slips through like a shadow: “Why does peace feel like a stranger to me when everyone else looks so whole?” Maybe you’ve been there—sitting with pieces of yourself you don’t even recognize. Maybe the wound came from someone else’s hands. Or worse: maybe you handed them the blade. Maybe you said goodbye to something that kept you breathing for too long. And now, even when the storm is technically over, you still live like you’re drenched. But in the middle of that wreckage, there’s a whisper. Not loud, not flashy. Not religion or formula. Just a voice older than time, clearer than trauma : “I won’t give up loving you.” Not All Commitments Break We’re used to people quitting. Used to love that leaves once i...

"God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him." — 1 John 4:16 Before the stars burned, before galaxies danced, before the first human drew breath, was there love? It’s not a sentimental question. It’s philosophical. It’s personal. And for many, it’s uncomfortable. Because if love is something that requires a relationship—someone to love and someone to be loved—then we’re faced with a problem: What was God loving before creation? If God existed alone, utterly solitary, who was He loving? Let’s dig deeper. The Danger of Divine Isolation Many people believe God is singular and undivided—one will, one being, one person. They may believe He is merciful, loving, and relational... but can He truly be these things from eternity if there was never anyone with Him? Ask yourself: Can someone be called “The Listener” if there was never anyone speaking to him? Can someone be called “The Friend” if he’s always been alone? So then—can some...

  “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...
