THE SAME WAY YOU REACH OUT TO PEOPLE, THEY CAN REACH OUT TO YOU

Image
We live in a world that constantly talks about connection—about community, friendship, fellowship, and support. Yet ironically, many people are walking around feeling disconnected, unappreciated, and unseen. We send messages that go unanswered, make calls that go unreturned, and pour into people who never seem to pour back. And while it’s noble to love selflessly, it’s also necessary to recognize a vital truth: the same way you reach out to people, they can reach out to you. That simple realization is both freeing and sobering. It reminds us that healthy relationships require reciprocity—not perfection, but balance. It’s a call to maturity, discernment, and self-respect. Because no matter how much you love people, you cannot be the only one keeping the connection alive. Love Is a Two-Way Street In 1 John 4:11, Scripture says, “Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.” Notice that love moves in both directions. It’s a flow, not a funnel. Real love isn’t just rece...

RENEWED MINDS

Image
  Have you ever stopped to think about how amazing your brain really is? The Bible says, “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2). For centuries, people viewed that verse purely as a spiritual principle — and it absolutely is. But fascinatingly, modern neuroscience now confirms what Scripture declared long ago: our minds can actually change . That process has a name — neuroplasticity — and it’s God’s built-in mechanism for transformation. The Miracle of Neuroplasticity Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life. In simple terms, your thoughts literally reshape your brain. Every word you speak, every emotion you feel, every belief you hold — they’re all wiring and rewiring your brain cells. When you choose faith over fear, hope over despair, love over bitterness — you’re not just making a spiritual choice. You’re physically changing the architecture of your mind. That’s why the Apostle Paul could...

YOUR MIND HAS A VOICE

Image
Have you ever stopped to think of your mind as a person? Not just an organ in your head or a space where thoughts appear and disappear—but an actual being that talks, feels, argues, and even influences your destiny. Your mind has a voice. It speaks constantly—sometimes whispering faith, sometimes shouting fear. It remembers what hurt you and reminds you of it at the worst times. It dreams with you one day, then doubts you the next. Like a person, your mind can be your greatest friend or your most exhausting enemy. That’s why Scripture tells us, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 2:5). In other words, let another “personality” take residence in your thinking—the mind of Christ. The Christ-mind sees peace where the carnal mind sees panic. It believes in possibilities where the natural mind predicts impossibility. It forgives quickly, trusts deeply, and focuses on what is true and eternal. Your mind is like a roommate you live with 24/7. If you don’t t...

IS YOUR FAITH BEING FED OR JUST FLUFFED?

Image
  There’s a subtle danger creeping into the Church today—a danger so well-packaged that most believers don’t even recognize it until they feel the emptiness in their souls. It’s not a loud warning, and it doesn’t announce itself with fanfare. Yet its effects are real, lasting, and sometimes devastating. I’m talking about teaching that appeals to the flesh rather than the spirit. Teaching that soothes the senses, strokes the ego, and entertains the mind—but never transforms the soul. This post isn’t meant to condemn anyone. It’s meant to wake you up. To stir the depths of your spirit. To ask the uncomfortable questions: Are you being fed the Word of God, or are you just being fluffed with messages that feel good but change nothing? The Temptation of the Flesh in Modern Teaching The flesh is persuasive. It wants comfort, it wants recognition, it wants pleasure, and it wants it now. And so, in today’s culture of instant gratification, it’s no wonder that some teachings lean into i...

CHRISTIANITY IS NOT A BRAND

Image
  In today’s world, everything seems to come with a brand. From the shoes on our feet to the clothes we wear, from the phones we hold to the lifestyles we portray online, branding has seeped into every corner of our lives. Logos, slogans, and influencer campaigns are everywhere. It’s natural to start thinking of Christianity the same way: a lifestyle, a statement, a “brand” that you show off to the world. But here’s the hard truth: Christianity is not a brand. It is not a product you can package. It is not a logo you wear on your chest. Some churches, preachers, and influencers have unintentionally contributed to this illusion, promoting Christianity as if it were a trend or a social media-worthy image. Social media makes it worse—scrolling through Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok, it’s easy to assume that being “spiritual” is all about perfect photos, clever captions, and viral sermons. But the essence of faith is far deeper, far more intimate, and far more transformative than any b...

UNLOCKING THE SECRETS AND TRUTH BEHIND THE MYSTERY OF THE GOSPEL

Image
  For centuries, believers have read the Gospel, preached it, sung about it, and even built their lives upon it—yet few have truly unlocked its mystery . The Apostle Paul called it “the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people.” (Colossians 1:26). But what exactly is this mystery? And why does it still remain hidden from so many? Let’s pull back the curtain: 1. The Gospel Isn’t Just About Salvation—It’s About Revelation Most Christians stop at the cross, never realizing the Gospel didn’t end there. The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ were not merely acts of redemption; they were acts of revelation. The Gospel reveals who God is and who we are in Him . It is not just an invitation to heaven—it’s an unveiling of heaven’s reality within us. The mystery? Christ in you, the hope of glory. It’s not just God for us or even God with us—it’s God in us. That’s the divine secret the enemy never wanted humanity to...

CHRISTIAN SHENANIGANS

Image
There’s a phrase I’ve come to use with a smile and a sigh: Christian shenanigans. It’s the term I use when we, as believers, forget who we’re supposed to represent. When our zeal turns into pride. When our worship is loud but our witness is weak. When we know Scripture but forget compassion. We’ve all been there — saying one thing, living another. Proclaiming love while withholding forgiveness. Praising God publicly but wrestling privately with jealousy, offense, or self-righteousness. The truth is, Christian shenanigans happen whenever we let our humanity overshadow His holiness. The Church Isn’t Perfect — and That’s the Point The Church has never been made up of perfect people. From Peter’s denial to Thomas’s doubt, from Martha’s busyness to Paul’s temper — the saints of old had their fair share of holy mishaps. Yet God didn’t discard them. He developed them. Our imperfections don’t disqualify us; they reveal our need for grace. Every inconsistency, every failure, every “what ...
