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.

— Matthew 7:21

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

Halloween isn’t just about candy — it’s an opportunity to share God’s love. When you hand out gospel tracts, you’re planting seeds that God can use to change lives. And often, the greatest blessing comes back to the one who gives.

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.

There’s a kind of pain that cuts deeper than most, the pain of watching your marriage crumble even after you’ve tried everything to hold it together.

Maybe you’ve prayed until you couldn’t find the words anymore. Maybe you’ve forgiven, gone to counseling, and tried to rebuild. Maybe you’ve even separated and come back together, only to find the same wounds open again.

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.

Halloween is one of the biggest outreach opportunities of the year. Whether kids come knocking at your door or your church hosts a trunk-or-treat, you’ll have dozens, sometimes hundreds of children and parents stopping by. Along with candy, you have a unique chance to share something far more meaningful: the message of Jesus Christ.

The world feels chaotic with wars, political division, stress over leaders, and uncertainty about technology, but the Bible shows us that peace doesn’t depend on circumstances. Jesus promised His peace as a gift: “My peace I give to you” (John 14:27), regardless of what’s happening around us.

Trunk or Treat events have become one of the most popular fall community gatherings. They provide a safe, family-friendly alternative to traditional trick-or-treating and bring neighborhoods, schools, and churches together in one festive space. Whether you’re organizing your first event or looking to improve on last year, here are some practical tips to make your Trunk or Treat a success.

Every year, as October 31 approaches, Christians debate what to do with Halloween. Some avoid it, calling it evil or “of the devil.” Others embrace it as a fun cultural event. But few realize the deep Christian roots behind this day, and why it may actually be one of the best opportunities of the year to share the light of Christ with our neighbors.
