Why Investing in Discipleship Shapes the Future of Faith

Posted by Estefania Galvan on March 5, 2025 at 5:00 AM

When you think about making a lasting difference in the world, it is easy to picture big stages and loud applause. You might assume influence requires numbers. The larger the crowd, the greater the impact. Yet, the method Jesus used looked nothing like that. His plan for changing the world was simple. He focused on a few.

Leading a Small Group Without Feeling Overwhelmed

Posted by Estefania Galvan on March 5, 2025 at 5:00 AM

Stepping into the role of a small group leader can feel like standing on a stage without a script. You may wonder if you know enough, if anyone will listen, or if you are equipped to guide others in their faith. The fear of being unqualified is common, but it is also misplaced. The purpose of leading is not to perform but to create a space where God can work. You are not called to impress anyone. You are called to serve.

Your Story of Faith Opens the Door for Others to Believe

Posted by Estefania Galvan on March 4, 2025 at 5:00 AM

There are few things more difficult than explaining why faith matters to someone who has never considered it. People are often quick to dismiss concepts they cannot see or measure. They want evidence that feels tangible, something they can connect to their own experience. That is why personal stories are one of the most overlooked tools in sharing the truth about Jesus. Facts and arguments may hold attention for a moment. But a real story, spoken plainly and without exaggeration, has a way of slipping past defenses and settling where logic cannot.

Letting God Love You: The True Purpose of Your Life

Posted by Estefania Galvan on March 3, 2025 at 5:00 AM

Your number one purpose in life isn’t what you might think. It’s not about how much you can love God, how well you follow His commands, or how tirelessly you serve others. It’s about allowing God to love you. The Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, tells a story of God’s immense love for humanity and His desire for a family. This truth changes everything about how you see your relationship with Him.

Faith in Action: Why Progression, Not Perfection, Defines the Christian Life

Posted by LaQuan Henley on March 3, 2025 at 5:00 AM

In Luke 6:46, Jesus asks, “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?” His words cut straight to the heart of what it means to follow Him. It’s not enough to profess faith in Jesus; your life must reflect the obedience that comes from genuine trust in Him. This is not about striving for perfection, but about committing to a life of continual growth and alignment with God’s will.

One Way or Many? Responding to the Idea That All Religions Lead to God

Posted by Tony Arce on February 28, 2025 at 5:00 AM

It sounds comforting to say all religions lead to the same place. In a world eager for unity, people gravitate toward the belief that every faith is just a different route to the same God. This idea reduces spiritual questions to matters of preference, like choosing a flavor of ice cream. But when you take a closer look at what each religion teaches, this popular belief quickly falls apart. The claims of Jesus stand in sharp contrast to every other voice, and if you accept His words as true, you are left with only one conclusion. Not all paths lead to God. Only one does.

The Microscopic and the Macrocosm: The Offense and Truth of Christianity

Posted by LaQuan Henley on February 28, 2025 at 5:00 AM

The binary nature of existence, creation and destruction, good and evil, light and darkness, is evident in every facet of life. From the microscopic processes that sustain our bodies to the cosmic forces that shape galaxies, this interplay defines the world we inhabit. Yet, many who reject the existence of God, particularly atheists, seem fixated on holding the Creator accountable for the perceived destruction within creation. They question God's morality and intentions, often accusing Him of wrongdoing while simultaneously denying His existence. This paradox reflects not only a misunderstanding of God's nature but also a refusal to examine the destructive tendencies of humanity itself.

When Is Anger Godly? Understanding Righteous Anger in a Biblical Context

Posted by Estefania Galvan on February 27, 2025 at 5:00 AM

Anger is a natural emotion, but how you handle it can either reflect God’s righteousness or fall into sin. The Bible distinguishes between human anger, often fueled by selfishness, and Godly anger, which is rooted in justice, truth, and love. Godly anger arises when sin, injustice, or disrespect toward God occurs, and it serves a purpose beyond personal feelings: it upholds His holiness and points others to Him.

Speak Life: How Your Words Shape Your Faith and Walk with God

Posted by Nick DeGregorio on February 27, 2025 at 5:00 AM

Your words hold extraordinary power. Every time you speak, you plant seeds, seeds of life or seeds of destruction. The Bible makes it clear: “The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences” (Proverbs 18:21, NLT). What you say isn’t just a reflection of your thoughts, it’s a reflection of your faith.

Trade Self-Defenses for God’s Gentle Strength

Posted by Estefania Galvan on February 27, 2025 at 5:00 AM

You might notice yourself getting upset whenever others fail to meet your hopes. A small slight can feel like a deep cut. A late response or a careless word can stir anger that seems hard to control. Over time, this way of seeing the world leads you to feel that everyone is against you. Pride moves in when you expect harm at every corner. It grows when you believe every disappointment proves you are on your own, unloved and unvalued. Pride tries to convince you that the only way to stay safe is to defend yourself from any hint of trouble.

Over 40 Million Fell Away: Learn the Fear of God That Helps You Stay True Forever

Posted by Nate Jefferson on February 26, 2025 at 5:00 AM

You might think you’re living in a time when nothing seems certain. Plenty of people who once said they followed God have decided to step away. Over the last 23 years, more than 40 million in the United States have left their faith. Many now call themselves spiritualists, agnostics, or atheists. This number isn’t small. It’s enough to fill large cities more than once. That kind of drift from belief doesn’t happen by chance. It often comes from a missing piece. What is that piece? It’s the fear of God. Not fear that makes you run, but respect that draws you closer.

3 Bold Steps to Embrace God’s Kingdom This Week and Defeat Unbelief

Posted by Estefania Galvan on February 26, 2025 at 5:00 AM

You hold in your hands something that people often call a book, though it’s unlike anything else. This collection of pages, united over many centuries, has guided countless souls. Within these writings, you find not only wise words, but also a power that has changed the course of history. Long before you picked it up, archaeologists dug into the ground based on details found in these pages. They hoped to uncover lost cities and unknown rulers. Over and over, they found what was recorded long ago. Nothing else in human literature has matched this level of accuracy over so many years. You can pause and ask yourself: what does that mean for you? Is it just a curious fact, or does it point you toward something far greater?

How Close Can You Get to the World Without Losing Yourself?

Posted by Estefania Galvan on February 25, 2025 at 5:00 AM

Sometimes, it’s easy to justify behaviors that don’t sit right. We tell ourselves, “I don’t feel convicted, so it must not be wrong.” But feelings can be deceptive. True conviction doesn’t come from within; it comes from aligning your heart with Jesus and letting His Word guide your life. That connection to Him, through the Holy Spirit, is what helps you discern what truly honors God and what leads you away from Him.

You’ve likely seen it before, a street preacher boldly proclaiming the Gospel, met with fury from passersby. They speak of heaven, hell, or the sanctity of life, and the reaction is swift and visceral. But why such outrage? Why does the name of Jesus, spoken in love, provoke such intense anger?

Social media is crowded with opinions, arguments, and content that disappears almost as fast as it appears. Yet, it remains one of the most effective ways to reach people you may never meet in person. With just a few taps, you can speak to someone across the world about what matters most. But when it comes to sharing the gospel online, the challenge isn’t just being heard. It’s making sure what you share stays true to God’s Word while connecting in ways people actually care about.

Defending the Voiceless: Why Every Human Life Deserves Protection

Posted by Estefania Galvan on February 20, 2025 at 5:00 AM

History has a sobering way of revealing how societies justify the denial of rights to certain groups. From slavery to genocide, the dehumanization of others often stems not from a lack of understanding but from a willful refusal to grant them personhood. Today, this same moral blindness continues in the context of abortion, where the question is no longer whether the unborn are human but whether their humanity deserves protection

Muslims believe the Quran is the Word of God, revealed to the Prophet Muhammad over 23 years. Yet, when you ask, “Where does the Quran itself say this?” you may find the answer surprisingly elusive. The Quran, regarded as the ultimate authority, must be examined by its own claims and structure. Let’s dive into what the Quran says, and doesn’t say, about its origins.
