When you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, His blood became the payment for all your sins; once and for all. Jesus offered one sacrifice for sin, forever. You don’t lose your standing with God when you fail. So let’s get real simple about the powerlessness of sin. Jesus’ death was the final payment for all sin. John declared, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world!” The work of the cross is complete. He can’t be re-crucified for your “next” sin. It’s already paid for. Every debt is forgiven. But here’s where many Christians struggle: the enemy constantly feeds the lie that sin still separates you from God. That lie is rooted in what used to be true under the law. Sin entered through Adam and carried the power of death. For generations, it kept its grip until the debt of sin was fully paid. Even now, Satan only operates under the old law of sin. But Jesus broke that power. When Jesus gave His life as the full payment for sin, sin lost its author...

The kingdom of heaven suffers violence and violent men take it by force. - Matthew 11:12 Let’s get real simple about The kingdom of Heaven. It isn’t confined to a building, a nation, or a plot of land. The kingdom of heaven is God’s reign in each human heart. Wherever a life bows to Christ, the kingdom is present. And this world, enslaved to sin and rebellion, lashes out against it - violently. Striking out against those who bear God’s image and carry His Spirit. Here’s the simple, but important part: the violence takes many forms; some swift, like murder, abortion and suicide. Others slow and crushing, like abuse, degradation, and rejection. None of it is random. It’s the same storm that once raged against Christ Himself, because the world cannot tolerate the light that exposes its darkness. But here is our comfort: though the kingdom suffers violence, it is never defeated. Every martyr, every broken saint, every tear shed in the face of cruelty becomes seed for greater life. The cros...

Life may drain you, but nothing you give to God is ever forgotten. With Him, even the smallest act has eternal weight - so don’t let the enemy keep you from giving it. Life can feel like a constant cycle of demands and fights. The to-do lists never end. Work piles up. You do your best, but it often feels like there’s always more to carry. And in the middle of it all, you begin to feel like finding time for God just adds to your burden. But, God’s not a burden to be carried or an item on a to-do list. He’s a father and a friend, patiently waiting for moments with someone He loves. That’s you! And He will take anything you give him - a quick moment of gratitude, a whispered prayer, a small act of love - and He calls it precious. Let’s get real simple about this: with God, nothing is wasted. Jesus said, *“My yoke is easy and My burden is light”* (Matthew 11:30). Compared to the heavy load the world puts on you, what God desires from you is light. He doesn’t demand endless striving; He del...
