You can sit in a room full of people and still feel alone. A crowded office, a full church, a family dinner — and the seat next to you still feels empty. Loneliness is not about the number of people a...
Read a promise in the wrong tense and you will file it in the wrong drawer. Many believers do this with Romans 8:11. They read it, feel a moment of hope, and then push the whole promise into the futur...
In the Bible, oil is never just a condiment. It is a symbol of the Holy Spirit and His power. We see this in James, where the sick are anointed with oil. It’s not the oil that heals; it’s the power of...
You failed again. And the first thought that came was not about the failure itself. It was about God. "He must be so disappointed in me." That sentence sits in the chest of almost every believer at so...
The enemy targets human beings with isolation and self-destruction. In Mark chapter five, Scripture describes a man living among tombs in the region of the Gadarenes. "And always, night and day, he wa...
Before Jesus healed a single sick person, He stood in the Jordan River. He had not turned water into wine. He had not multiplied bread to feed the hungry. He had not preached a sermon to the multitude...
The Greek language has four words for love. English has one. That single fact has caused more confusion about God than almost any theological debate in history. When a husband says "I love you" to his...
The book of Ephesians has a very specific architecture. The first three chapters tell you what you have. The last three chapters tell you what to do. The order matters. You are never told to "walk wor...
We are tripartite beings-spirit, soul, and body. This mirrors the ancient tabernacle: the outer court (the body), the holy place (the soul), and the Holy of Holies (the spirit). Most of our lives are...
Most self-help programs demand willpower. They tell you to make rules, track your habits, and force yourself to change. But the New Covenant offers a different path. Paul describes the process of Chri...
Many readers treat the Old Testament simply as a historical book of heavy laws. This method produces confusion and fear. Accurate interpretation requires you to translate the Old Testament into a reve...
In Genesis 24, Abraham sends his unnamed servant to find a bride for his son, Isaac. This historical account is a picture of the Holy Spirit's work today. For two thousand years, the Holy Spirit has b...
A doctor can prescribe medication for your panic attacks. A therapist can teach you to reframe your thoughts. But the Bible does something neither one can do: it tells you where fear came from, who de...
Many people view grace as God simply feeling sorry for us. They think God looks at our mistakes, sighs, and decides to let us off the hook. But God is a perfect judge. A perfect judge cannot let a cri...
Seventy-four times, the Bible inserts a word that most readers skip. It sits at the end of a verse, often in parentheses, and most people treat it like a footnote. But what if that small word is the m...
We often think of deliverance as a violent struggle of willpower. We try to "kick the habit," grit our teeth, and hope we can resist the craving for one more day. But the flesh is a stubborn thing; th...
We often look for physical provision-money, food, resources. But the Bible teaches that true supply starts in the spiritual realm. When Isaac blessed Jacob (thinking he was the firstborn, Esau), he pr...
We like things to make sense. We prefer logic over mystery. So, when we read about applying oil to the sick or anointing our homes, the intellectual mind hesitates. It feels archaic. It feels illogica...
Most of us try to change by force.Jesus changes us by sight. Paul explains the secret so simply: "Beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, we are being transformed... by the Spirit of the Lord....
A prophet called down fire from heaven, won a national showdown against 450 false prophets, and outran a king's chariot. The next day, he asked God to let him die. That is burnout. Not a lack of talen...
