In a world that feels more uncertain with each passing day—where the headlines I read often highlight division, disaster, and despair—there’s one chapter in Scripture that remains a steady, unwavering call to something greater: 1 Corinthians 13.
If we’re paying attention and have hearts that are open, we can see God’s presence woven throughout our everyday lives. Here are some honest, grounded ways people often experience or recognize God daily:
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.
Sometimes, we don’t realize how much something is around us until we start paying attention. Ever notice how you don’t see a certain car model unti...
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.
Don’t let your past define you. Let God refine you. The things you wish never happened may become the very things that glorify God the most in your life. Let your life story be one that points to His grace, His power, and His ability to bring good from even the hardest chapters.
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him.”
The Bible teaches that work is a gift and a responsibility. It gives our days purpose, helps us serve others, and shapes our character. Whether you’re in the workforce, managing a household, or serving in ministry, God cares about how you approach your work. Do it with integrity. Do it with diligence. And most of all, do it for Him.
Pentecost isn’t just a one-time event. It’s God empowering His people to be the Church, not just go to church. If you’re feeling stuck, dry, or uncertain in your faith—go back to Pentecost. Ask God to fill you afresh with His Spirit. Because when He does, your life becomes dynamic, purposeful, and centered fully on Christ.
Let us live each day like it’s Pentecost—empowered, bold, and filled with the fire of God.
You're getting ready to take a long road trip to a place you’ve never been before and what do you do? You turn on your Google or Apple Maps GPS to guide you. You didn't need to know every turn in advance—you just needed to follow the next instruction.
Changing the world isn’t about applause or recognition. It’s about being faithful where God placed you and letting Him work through you.
Let’s not reach the end of our days with regret. Let’s not hear God say, “I gave you all these talents—and you used none of them.”
Instead, let’s live each day like it matters—because it does.
