If He loves us, why wouldn’t He just get rid of that law after seeing how much it’s messed us up? Let’s get real simple about this: God’s law says the penalty for sin is death. If you sin, the consequence is death. Simple, right? But here’s the thing - it’s easy to wonder, “Why would God make such a harsh rule?” Or even, “If He loves us, why wouldn’t He just get rid of that law after seeing how much it’s messed us up?” Ok, so here's the deal: a good law is supposed to help and protect people. It creates boundaries to keep us safe, call out what’s wrong, and show us what’s good. God’s law about sin does exactly that. It exposes evil and makes it clear that sin is a big deal. God set a good law when He said that the penalty for sin is death. And here’s something to remember: God never meant for any of us to be guilty of that law. When God created us, He intended for us to live in harmony with Him, free from sin and the penalty that comes with it. The law was meant to protect us, not...

The Gospel is this word that gets thrown around a lot, but what does it actually mean? At its core, it’s this: God gave us the gift of reconciliation. A simple, powerful, no-strings-attached kind of gift. It’s not about religion, rules, or trying to be perfect. It’s about something real, something personal, and something that literally anyone can receive This gift is the most valuable thing ever offered in human history. And it’s meant for you . Ok, here’s the simple but important part Every single one of us was born into a broken world - one that’s been running on a universal law: sin equals death. It’s harsh, but it’s real. We’ve all messed up in some way, and the result of that mess is separation from the life we were meant to have. But God wasn’t okay with that. He loves you too much to leave things like that. So He did something wild. He came to us. Not as a distant idea or a thunderous voice in the sky, but as a human - Jesus. He lived a perfect life, one without sin, and then ...

We don’t walk toward God because we don’t really expect to  find  Him. But, what if the thing that's been missing this whole time isn't God's presence, but our expectation? If you’ve ever felt like life is falling apart and there's no way out, you’re not alone. I’ve been there - totally wrecked, no hope left, and nothing I could do to fix it. One day in 2016, I ended up in this small, dim room in a church I’d never been to before. I didn’t go there because I was religious. I went there because I was desperate. I told God—straight up—“You have to change my life. I’m not moving until I hear from You.” I cried, begged, waited… and got nothing. Came back the next day. Same thing. But then, something happened. Not in some dramatic movie scene kind of way, but in a way that flipped my life upside down. Jesus showed up. Not in a vision or a flash of light. I just suddenly knew He was there. I felt comforted. Seen. Known. It’s hard to describe, but it was like my soul finall...

Most of us, when we think about God, end up in a mess of questions: "Does He see me?" "Does He care?" "Why would He help?" "Maybe He’s the reason life’s so hard." We chase thoughts in circles and try to make sense of a God we barely understand. And honestly? That’s normal. Everyone who thinks seriously about God has probably been stuck in that same mental spaghetti. Opinions, religions, contradictions. It's a mess. But here's the problem: we’re trying to build ideas about God without first figuring out who we’re even talking about. And that’s where everything goes off track. Ok, here’s the simple but important part. If we’re going to think or talk about God at all, let’s at least start with this: God is real , and He’s not abstract or vague. He’s not a blurry concept we invent to explain the universe. He is someone —a being with actual identity and character. And if He really is God, then He has to be way beyond us, but also clo...

You and I didn’t choose to be born—we just showed up one day, breathing, thinking, living. And whether we like it or not, there’s someone behind that. The Bible says that at some point—either during our life or at the very end—we will meet the One who gave us life. No one gets a pass. Everyone will face God eventually. But here’s the thing: why wait until we die to meet Him? If we were made by Someone, wouldn’t it make sense to know who that Someone is while we’re still alive? Ok, here’s the simple but important part. The best thing we could ever do with our time is get to know Jesus. Not religion. Not rules. Him. Jesus isn’t just a historical figure or a name people throw around at church. The Bible says He’s the one through whom everything was made - including you. So if you’ve ever wondered about your purpose, your identity, or why life even matters, Jesus is the starting point . Eternal life isn’t just about some future heaven thing. It’s about knowing Jesus. That’s literally ...

Ever feel like you're just winging it through life? Yeah… same. Turns out, that’s the starting point for real wisdom. We all mess up. We all feel lost or unsure sometimes. It’s easy to look around and compare ourselves to others. Maybe you feel smarter, more put together, or just “less of a mess” than someone else, but if there really is a God who knows everything, then none of us are even close to His level. Compared to perfect wisdom, we’re all pretty clueless. That’s not a dig. That’s just honesty. But here’s the cool part: recognizing that we don’t know it all is actually the first step toward real wisdom. Everything in this world seems to come with an opposite: light and dark, good and evil, dry and wet. Same goes for wisdom and foolishness. And the amazing thing is, understanding one side helps you grasp the other. You don’t have to live in darkness to understand light - you just need to see the light . And if you feel stuck in the dark? The light can still reach you. T...
