“I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” - John 10:10It is possible to believe in God and still live in survival mode. You wake up, get through the day, manage responsibilities, and repeat the cycle again tomorrow. Faith becomes something that helps you cope rather than something that transforms how you live. You are not falling apart, but you are not fully alive either. Many belie...  Read More

“I can do nothing on my own. I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just.” - John 5:30It can be surprising to realize that Jesus did not live His life in self-sufficiency.

It grows through time, attention, and repeated interaction. The same principle applies to...  Read More

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” - John 10:27Many people think spiritual maturity is measured by how well you speak for God. You see bold voices, strong opinions, and confident declarations, and it is easy to assume that influence comes first. Scripture offers a different starting point.
