PASTOR'S PEN
But having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed, therefore I spoke,” we also believe, therefore we also speak,

The Beauty of a God Fearing Mother
Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Proverbs 31:30 This Mother’s Day, we take a moment to celebrate a profound beauty often unnoticed, the calm, steadfast life dedicated to God of a woman who fears the Lord. The Bible teaches us that real beauty isn’t about outward looks or temporary allure, but about a heart rooted in reverence for God. Such beauty influences homes, bolsters churches, and creates a legacy that endures beyo

What is a Disciple?
A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher. Luke 6:40 The secular definition of a disciple is, according to Webster, “One who accepts and assists in spreading the doctrines of another.” Christian discipleship is the lifelong process of following Christ, becoming like Christ, and helping others do the same. There is a significant difference between Christian discipleship and worldly discipleship. Imagine someone joins a

We Are Not the Same!
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever? Or what agreement has a sanctuary of God with idols? 2 Corinthians 6:14-16 Recently, Tucker Carlson stated, “The people in charge don’t want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.” Then he added that “Islam reveres Christ as a major prophe

Do You Know?
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life. 1 John 5:13 Sometimes, as believers, we wrestle with doubt—wondering if our faith is real, if we’re truly saved, or if eternal life is really ours. In this verse, John addresses those fears directly. He doesn’t write to confuse or condemn; he writes to give certainty. The promise is simple but profound: if you believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and rep

From Shame to Salvation
And Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar. Matthew 1:3 Have you ever wondered why certain stories are included in the Bible? When you read the story of Judah and Tamar (Genesis 38), you might question how this can be beneficial to God's plan of salvation for His elect. The tragic story of Tamar and Judah highlights that God does not base His redemptive plans on human virtue, which is fragile, but on the solid foundation of sovereign grace. In Genesis 38, we see sin

Hope That Will Not Die
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. 1 Peter 1:3 Today, we come together as believers to celebrate the greatest day in all of human history—the day Jesus rose from the dead. We who are born again possess a hope that those without Christ can never understand. The world places its hope in the things of this world. They place

God's Design, God's Patience
Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother, and cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. Genesis 2:24 One question that often arises when we read the Old Testament is this: Why did God allow men like Abraham and Jacob to have more than one wife? At first glance, it can feel like God changed His standards—or worse, that He approved of something He later condemns. But a closer look at Scripture shows something far richer: God’s design never changed, but H

Not His Ways
"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” declares Yahweh. Isaiah 55:8 In the story of Jacob and Esau we get a clear picture of how different God’s ways are from our ways. If Hollywood were making a secular version of the story of the two brothers, Esau would be the hero, and Jacob and his mother would be considered the villains. Esau is strong, straightforward, and honorable. Jacob appears sneaky, manipulative, and undeserving. By human standards, t

Drinking from the Saucer
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, Ephesians 1:3 Have you ever observed how a cat drinks? When their bowl is full, they lap from the edge. But when it's empty, they might even drink from the saucer below. Sometimes, life resembles this. We hope for blessings in abundance—full bowls. Yet, often, God’s blessings arrive quietly and subtly, in ways that seem minor. Paul reminds
