“Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.” — James 1:19 Every person sees the world through a different lens — shaped by upbringing, wounds, culture, fears, and experiences. As Christians, we are not called to demand sameness, but to respond with humility and Christlike compassion when someone’s worldview doesn’t match ours. I held the phone to my ear,…

By guest blogger: Hannah Chea 1 Peter Chapter 4: 12-13 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. I have heard the phrase many times in my life, “The devil doesn’t bother those he…

Be strong and courageous and do the work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. 1 Chronicles 28:20 Sometimes obedience doesn’t feel holy or heroic. It feels frightening and uncomfortable. Have you ever had a plant that isn’t growing? It just kind of exists — no new leaves, no fresh shoots. It’s become root‑bound.

“The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the Lord sends rain on the land.” 1 Kings 17:14 This morning I reached for the coffee tin and heard that familiar scrape — just the last dusting of grounds left.

Back then, I thought they were about getting through hard times. Enduring. Holding on. Waiting for the storm to move on. But lately, I’ve realized something deeper. It’s…

John 12:26 Lately it feels like everything I do runs into a wall. It has created a constant feeling of frustration, like every avenue is littered with ruts and stones. It’s been discouraging. One night I was fussing…

“Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law.” Psalm 119:18 This morning started with a tiny mystery. I put in my right contact, felt that little scratch of irritation, and thought, Well, something’s on it. So, I took it out and dropped in in the solution.
