The Fear of the Lord: A Path to Blessing, Not Terror
June 16, 2025IntroductionIn the Bible, we are often told to “fear the Lord.” For many, this phrase might conjure up feelings of dread or anxiety, as if God is a figure to be feared in the way we might fear a harsh judge or an angry parent. But this is a misunderstanding of the true meaning of…
Patience at the Green Light: A Reflection on Spiritual and Situational Waiting
June 15, 2025In Galatians 5:22–23, Paul lists the fruit of the Spirit: “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.” Patience—longsuffering—is not merely the ability to wait, but how we behave while waiting. And for those of us who walk with Christ, patience is not a passive tolerance, but an active trust in God’s timing. But…
When Sin Hides in Plain Sight
June 13, 2025Sin is not always obvious. It doesn’t always show up as scandal, addiction, or defiance. More often, it’s subtle. It whispers instead of shouts. It lives quietly in the corners of our hearts, in the motives we don’t talk about and the thoughts we never speak aloud. We’re used to thinking of sin as external—something…
Waiting and Trusting God’s Timing
June 12, 2025There are times when I find myself carrying a weight that others can’t see—unspoken struggles and burdens that weigh heavily on my heart. Even with a wonderful group of friends around me, there are issues I keep to myself, things I don’t share, that weigh me down in silence. I know I can give it…
The Narrow Gate: A Path to True Life
June 9, 2025“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.”— Matthew 7:13-14 (ESV) Life is full of…
A Prayer at the Crossroads
June 8, 2025She stands at the crossroads, though she may not realize it.The road she’s on has led her to destruction, to isolation, and to a brokenness that feels too heavy to bear. But the moment has come, a pivotal point in time where a decision must be made. I know this moment well—I’ve been there before,…
When Letting Go Feels Like Rejection
June 6, 2025Letting go was never meant to hurt her. It wasn’t punishment. It wasn’t spite. It was a quiet, trembling decision made after a long season of heartbreak, watching someone I care about spiral and refuse the hand that was there to help. But now… she’s angry. Accusing. Twisting what was meant in love into something…
For Such a Time as This
June 4, 2025There are days I move through the world wondering if I’m really where I’m supposed to be. Not doubting God, exactly—but struggling to see Him clearly. I don’t always hear His voice. I don’t always feel His hand. And sometimes, I walk forward simply because there’s no peace in standing still. Recently, I returned to…
Letting Go Isn’t Giving Up
June 3, 2025There’s a line I crossed this week—not out of anger, but out of clarity. I stepped away from someone I deeply care about. Someone I’ve tried to help. Someone I’ve loved enough to hurt for. She’s in self-destruction mode. Every time something good rises in her life, she tears it down before it can take…
You Can Never Go Back… Except to Him
June 2, 2025I’ve long believed that you can never truly go back. That idea was born when I left England for America. It was only supposed to be a two-year assignment, but two years became a lifetime. In those early years, I would occasionally return on business trips. But each time I did, I found the place…
