Gog and Magog and the Final Rebellion

“Gog and Magog” are names that stir a lot of curiosity—and sometimes a lot of speculation. Some connect them to modern nations; others to particular political events. Scripture itself, however, anchors them in two main passages, and keeping those passages clear in our minds removes much of the confusion and fear. The first is Ezekiel…
Pray Without Ceasing: A Life of Unbroken Communion

Scripture Focus: 1 Thessalonians 5:17 “Pray without ceasing.” “Pray without ceasing.” What a concept indeed. These three simple words carry a vast and holy invitation—to live in continual communion with the One who gave us breath. Prayer was never meant to be a mere event; it was meant to be a lifestyle. Imagine breathing, not…
When Desperation Meets the Divine

(Inspiration taken from by Mark 5:21–43) Through crowds that pressed like restless waves,Past eyes that turned from her in shame,She moved with steps the years had drainedThrough streets of dust and disarray. Twelve winters stole her strength and name,Each day became a silent plea;Yet hope had bloomed from whispered words—“He heals… He’ll stop. He’ll come…
When Heaven Whispers, “Go”

We wait for skies to open wide, for signs and trumpets loud, While heaven pleads in still, small ways beneath a veiling cloud. We measure faith in measured steps, in schedules tightly spun, Yet Christ once ran with bloody feet beneath a setting sun. We guard our comfort like a crown, protect our days from…

Grace with Gravity

Delayed Obedience Dulls the Soul

Most people don’t just wake up one morning and decide, “Today I will stop listening to God.” Spiritual deafness almost never happens in a day; it’s a slow fade. It looks more like a quiet nudge from the Lord—“Call that person.” “Turn this off.” “Make that right.” Deep down we know it’s His voice. We…
Fireside Reflection on the Family of God

Pull your chair for this one—because the word we’re about to touch is tender for almost everybody: family. For some, that word feels like a warm quilt—shared meals, inside jokes, people who show up. For others, it feels more like a bruise—silences that never got healed, words that went too deep, empty chairs that still…
Keeping the Line to Headquarters Open

Scripture Focus: Luke 18:1
Life Changes: How the Gospel Is Changing My Life

When I look back over my life, I don’t see one big, dramatic moment where everything suddenly became perfect. I see countless small mercies, like gentle waves, reshaping the shoreline of who I am. I see how the Lord has taken what was broken, restless, and unsure and has been patiently trading it for peace,…
