“Though He was God, He did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, He gave up His divine privileges, took the humble position of a servant, and was born as a human being.” — Philippians 2:6-7 [NLT] To the world, it sounds absurd: How could Christians worship a man as… Continue reading Why Christians Believe God Became a Man: The CEO Who Stepped Into the Mess

How Music Opens or Closes the Heavens
“Whenever the spirit from God came upon Saul, David would take up his harp and play. Then relief would come to Saul; he would feel refreshed, and the evil spirit would leave him.” — 1 Samuel 16:23 [NKJV] From Jubal, the first musician [Genesis 4:21], to Miriam’s tambourine of deliverance [Exodus 15:20], to David’s worship… Continue reading How Music Opens or Closes the Heavens
My View on ‘Settling Down’…
Settling down, to me, is a divine alignment. It’s about having your heart and priorities in order, rooted in God’s truth, knowing what virtues matter most, and being able to love another as Christ commands: selflessly, wholly, and with intention. It is not age, status, or worldly wealth that makes one ready, but the refining… Continue reading My View on ‘Settling Down’…

Paul’s letter to the Colossians wasn’t just a message of encouragement; it was a defense of truth against some of the earliest false teachings that threatened the church. The Heresy in… Continue reading Paul, Colossae, and the Battle for Truth: The First Heresy of the Church
Weaponized Empathy: A False Virtue?
There’s a growing trend where empathy is elevated as the ultimate virtue—so much so that it’s being used as a moral weapon against those who refuse to accept certain ideologies. One of the most common arguments I hear is: “Jesus hung out with sinners, so if you don’t accept people as they are, you’re not Christlike.” But what does… Continue reading Weaponized Empathy: A False Virtue?
Repent. Believe. Receive.
It’s natural to hear the gospel and immediately wonder, “What must I do?” After Apostle Peter’s powerful sermon in Acts 2, the first response from the crowd was, “What shall we do?” His answer was simple: “Repent, believe, and receive.” At first, this might seem too easy—can repenting, believing, and receiving God’s Spirit truly erase… Continue reading Repent. Believe. Receive.
