Scripture, Faith, and Everyday Life

Many people claim to be Christians. They go to church, know the hymns, can quote a verse or two. But Jesus made it clear, not everyone who calls Him Lord will enter heaven.

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven.”
— Matthew 7:21

That’s a hard truth. It tells us that Christianity isn’t about labels, habits, or appearance. It’s about something far deeper, a heart that belongs to Christ.

Money is one of those subjects most people would rather not talk about in church, yet it’s something Jesus spoke about more than heaven or hell. Why? Because money reveals the heart. What we do with what we have shows who we trust, ourselves or God.  Something I need to remind myself of all the time.

In a world where so much changes — people, plans, even our own emotions — God’s love never does.
His love is not temporary, not conditional, not based on how good we are. It’s eternal, steady, and faithful.

When Jeremiah shared these words, God’s people had wandered far from Him. Yet even then, God said, “I still love you. I always have.”  Read more

As I get older, I find myself thinking more about what truly matters — what I want to pass on to my children and grandchildren. For much of my life, I thought the most important things I could leave them were the tools to be successful and happy. I wanted them to have good jobs, good health, strong marriages, close friendships, and enough money to enjoy life.

Make a difference today. One small act of kindness — a text, a call, a prayer — can change a life. Inspired by the story of the starfish, this post reminds us that God uses simple moments to reach hearts.

Recently, someone left a comment on our Facebook page criticizing Christians for “using Halloween to push a false religion.” I want to take a momen...

In a world full of distractions, it's easy to lose sight of what really matters. Social media, news, entertainment, and even good things like work and family can pull our attention in so many directions that we forget our God-given purpose. But Scripture is clear: we are called to live with intention and focus—doing the things God has placed before us, not chasing after every shiny object or cultural trend.

For those of us who grew up in the 1960s, the sounds of The Beach Boys weren’t just music—they were the soundtrack to a moment in time. Warm summer days, cruising in cars with the windows down, beach trips, and simpler times all wrapped in three-part harmonies and surf guitar. It’s a melancholy thing to lose someone whose voice and lyrics shaped your memories.

Recently, news broke that Michael Tait — lead singer of the Newsboys and former member of DC Talk — publicly confessed to a season of deep personal struggle. He admitted to alcohol abuse, sexual sin, and cocaine use. In his statement, he did not try to justify his behavior. Instead, he turned to God with a broken heart and quoted the words of King David from Psalm 51: “Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love.”

It was raw. It was honest. And it was biblical.
