Striving Against Shame
From fig leaves to social media filters, we have always tried to cover ourselves. Deep down, we all wonder, Am I really good enough? We all struggle with shame, and like Eve in the Garden of Eden, we often try to fix it on our own. But what if there’s a better way? Instead of hiding, the gospel invites us to come out of shame and into the light—not to be exposed, but to be clothed in Christ’s righteousness. Discover how God’s love transforms our shame into grace and offers us true covering.
Finding Freedom From Shame in the Story of David
Umm excuse me, King David? Maybe you’ve forgotten about a little something from your past? While he is often celebrated as a “man after God’s own heart,” David’s story is also marked by shameful choices—adultery, lies, and even murder. Yet, in the depths of his despair, he turned to God in repentance, leading to a profound truth: “The Lord has put away your sin.” This powerful narrative reveals that our failures do not define us. If you are in Christ, you are blameless and free from shame. Discover how God’s grace transforms our darkest moments into a story of redemption!
Clothing and Union with Christ
Have you ever felt like an imposter? Like you just didn’t belong because you didn’t live up to expectations? Whether at work, in your family, or even at church, this feeling can be overwhelming. But what if the root of this “imposter syndrome” isn’t low self-worth, but low God-worth? In this reflection, we explore how our identity in Christ transforms our perception of belonging. Discover the profound truth of being “in Christ” and how it liberates us from the fear of not measuring up. Join me as we delve into the beautiful doctrine of “Union with Christ.”
How to Run Your Race, Not Hers
There’s something I do that always compounds my weariness in this race of life: I glance sideways at the person beside me who doesn’t seem to have as much to bear. This comparison drains my endurance and fills my heart with envy and grief. The writer of Hebrews encourages us to run with endurance, looking to Jesus as our example. When I focus on others, I lose sight of my own race. Are your eyes drifting to someone else’s lane today? Discover how to keep your gaze fixed on Jesus and find the strength to run your race.
Abortion, Freedom, and Life
Shouldn’t every woman have a right to choose what happens to her body? Are pro-life supporters actually just hypocrites who only care about unborn lives and not the lives of women or children after birth…
How to Nurture Your Children’s Faith
My two daughters stood beside me, their young voices blending with the congregation’s. As we sang “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus,” I felt a lump form in my throat. They are young and haven’t yet faced the challenges of following Jesus, but here they were, singing words that echo the cry of my heart. As Christian parents, we have the privilege of raising our children in the ways of the Lord. Discover how prayer, personal faith, and grace can nurture your children’s faith and help them grow into devoted followers of Christ.
Who is The Holy Spirit?
For being the third member of the Trinity, many Christian denominations and traditions (and Christians themselves) give embarrassingly little-to-no acknowledgment to the Holy Spirit.
