I love this quote from the philosopher Marcus Aurelius: “What are you afraid of losing, when nothing in this world belongs to you?” The Bible speaks this truth when Job said, “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart.” To truly appreciate the meaning of this quote, we have to look deeper into why we pursue so many temporary things in this world when, in the end, they won’t matter to us. None of the things we accumulate will go with us at death. Life can cha

"Live slowly enough to be able to think deeply about God." - J. I. Packer The frantic chaos of modern life weighs heavily on all of us. Today, the relentless demand to rush things and live in the fast lane has never been stronger. With the daily feeds on our phones suggesting we upgrade everything we own to the latest design or version, we are being wired to live in a hectic wo

Amid constant reports of wars, rising living expenses, and looming food shortages, two distinct paths are emerging before us. One path leads toward a future shaped by faith in the One who came to save and offer new life to all who place their trust in Him. Though this way may appear challenging at first, it leads to lasting peace, enduring victory, and the promised new kingdom that Jesus Christ will one day establish on earth. The other path may look attractive in the beginni

We are entering spring, and this season always reminds us that no matter the darkness of winter, there will always be spring—a season filled with new hope and possibilities. This season gives us not only new beginnings but also a promise of a better tomorrow. Light filters through our once-darkened windows, and new shoots appear on every tree around us. The changes in our season are a gentle reminder that God has promised His mercies are new every morning. I know that we have

Many of us woke up today to reports of unrest and war breaking out in the Middle East. The news has shaken hearts across the world, stirring fear and uncertainty in those with loved ones in the region. Anxiety has crept in quietly and unwelcome, filling our thoughts with worry about what might come next. Jesus taught that as the end times approach, we would hear of wars and rumors of wars—yet He reminded us not to be alarmed, for these things are only the beginning of sorrows

What am I living for? Have you ever asked yourself that question? Sometimes life becomes too hectic for us to even allow a moment to sit quietly and listen to our own thoughts. Reflecting on the reasons for our everyday routines and struggles is often pushed into the corners of our lives. We can simply go through the motions, day in and day out, until one day we are forced to stop and confront the question again. What do you wake up for each day? What keeps you going? I belie

Benjamin Franklin once said that the world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing. With all the relentless scrolling we do on our phones every day, we have been conditioned to just “look on” and do nothing with what we see. The recent revelations from the Epstein files and the unbelievable corruption in our governments should all make us react with anger and compassion toward the innocent victims of this depravi

The new year has arrived! What I cherish most about this time is the freshness it brings. It feels like returning to the starting line, offering a renewed opportunity to begin again—to finish what was left incomplete and to embrace a clean slate. Each new year carries the promise of a fresh day, a new opportunity, and a chance to improve upon the past. It invites us to start anew. How many people kick off the new year with clear goals in mind? Those who prioritize their healt

This Christmas, we honor the extraordinary life of a man born to lay down His life for a cause unlike any other. A cause that embraces you, me, and indeed, the entire world. Though His mission would ultimately cost Him His life, He accepted this destiny willingly, fully aware of the immense suffering He would endure. Yet, this was a cause worth dying for, because through His sacrifice, many would be given life. He came to save us from our sins, offering a life of true purpose

There is much to be said when it comes to forgiveness. For most of us, no matter how difficult, we try to forgive other people for the evil they have done to us. The offense and the hurt may have imprisoned us, giving us a hard time for many years until we learn to let go of grudges and forgive others for the wrongs done to us. We also have little issue accepting forgiveness when others forgive us, no matter how much pain we have caused them. This can overwhelm us at times, s

There is a difference between knowing Jesus intellectually and truly knowing Him in your heart. The latter can only be revealed to you by the Holy Spirit. He alone can reveal Christ to the human heart. Trying to know the Truth through your intellect can only end in pride. Knowledge puffs up. Christ must be revealed in the human spirit; your spiritual eyes must be opened to see the Truth. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except thr

The rise of generative AI has led to many potential counterfeits, and we are witnessing before our eyes an era of deception and strong delusion never before seen in the history of mankind. The age of deception we are entering now is an amplification of what has existed from the beginning. The very first time humans were deceived, sin entered the human race. At the core of this is the truth that the heart is deceitful above all things. The Bible declares, “The heart is deceitf

The frantic hunt for Christmas gifts has officially begun. Stores overflow with enticing items, and our screens are filled with endless ideas of what to buy for our loved ones. Each day, we map out plans to check off every item on our shopping lists—a cycle that repeats itself year after year during this season. Just think about the piles of unused things gathering dust in our kitchens and drawers. Amidst this flood of materialism, there is much to learn about embracing a sim

Excess is a heavy load we aren’t meant to bear. As Jesus said, “Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” Are you feeling weighed down by

I wrote a chapter in my upcoming book, Borrowed Life, about how our existence is like the sands in an hourglass of time. They are limited. Our time on earth is not forever; therefore, our moments are like grains of sand slipping through our fingers each passing day. How are we using our borrowed time? Since it is limited, it must be carefully used and managed. The Bible teaches us to redeem the time because the days are evil. This relates to the tyranny of distraction and end
