Psalm 69 and Romans 11 remind us that our God is holy, just, merciful, sovereign, and faithful. And all of these attributes find full expression in Jesus Christ. Psalm 69 reminds us that God sees suffering, injustice, and sin. He is not indifferent to what happens to His people. And remarkably, David’s suffering points us … Continue reading God Is Faithful When We Don’t Understand

Rejoicing in Worship — Deuteronomy 12
Christian worship is not merely a duty to perform but a joyful response to the grace God has given us in Christ.
The Perfect Offering
God’s Holiness Leviticus 3 and 22:17–33 remind us that God is holy and worthy of our very best. Every sacrifice brought to him had to be without blemish. A blind, lame, or defective animal was unacceptable because it communicated a diminished view of God. The quality of the sacrifice reflected the worth of the One … Continue reading The Perfect Offering
All of You, All of Him: An Invitation to a Consecrated Life
My morning Bible reading took me through Numbers 8, where the Levites were consecrated to the Lord to serve. It got me thinking about what does it look like for a follower of Jesus to consecrate himself or herself to the Lord? It is a searching question — and an honest one. Not asked to … Continue reading All of You, All of Him: An Invitation to a Consecrated Life

Every detail whispers the same truth — He is holy, and holiness costs … Continue reading The Holy One Who Draws Near

Humbled, I remember who I am.Dust and weakness.Quick to promise, slow to follow through.In His holy presence, every illusion of strength fades. And … Continue reading Invited Near
Raised Up for His Name
Exodus 9:16 Pharaoh looked untouchable. Enthroned, powerful, the kind of man who bends the world to his will. And yet God says something remarkable: “For this purpose I have raised you up… that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth” (Exodus 9:16). What Pharaoh meant for control, God was already using for glory. … Continue reading Raised Up for His Name
The Battle Beneath the Surface
In Matthew 5:27–30, Jesus takes us beneath the surface of our lives and into the hidden world of the heart. We may measure ourselves by outward behavior, but God measures us by inward desire. “Everyone who looks…with lustful intent has already committed adultery in his heart.” Lust is not a small, private indulgence—it is misdirected … Continue reading The Battle Beneath the Surface
