The Bones of Joseph: Faith That Looks Forward. Genesis closes not with triumph but with a coffin. After years of reconciliation, blessing, and Joseph’s exaltation in Egypt, the book ends with Joseph’s death and a peculiar request: that his bones not remain in Egypt but be carried to the Promised Land. This detail might seem small, but it points to one of the most profound themes in Scripture—faith that looks beyond death toward God’s promises.

Martyrdom: Witness Through Faith, Not Confrontation. In a world that celebrates protest, resistance, and pushback, the New Testament points in another direction. Followers of Jesus are not called to “fight fire with fire” but to bear witness even in suffering. Martyrdom—the Greek word μάρτυς (martys) meaning “witness”—was never about violent confrontation. It was, and remains, about faithful testimony unto death.

Is Christianity All About Relationship and Not Religion? You’ve probably heard it: “Christianity isn’t a religion, it’s a relationship.” It’s catchy, and there’s a grain of truth. But like most slogans, it doesn’t hold up to Scripture. The Bible does not pit “relationship” against “religion”—it teaches that true religion is good, holy, and proven by the way you live. The problem is not religion itself, but empty religion. Let’s walk through the Scriptures.

Paul’s Thorn in the Flesh: Weakness, Faith, and God’s Strength. Few passages have sparked as much debate as Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 12:7–10: “So to keep me from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud. Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. Each time he said, ‘My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.’”

What the Bible Says About Witnessing. The term "witnessing" has become diluted in modern Christianity. It often evokes images of handing out tracts, issuing awkward invitations to church, or casually saying "God bless you" at work to signal one’s faith. While these efforts may come from a place of sincerity, they fall far short of the biblical concept of what it means to bear witness to Christ.

Salvation: God’s Plan to Rescue, Restore, and Reign Salvation is not a theological abstraction; it is the core of the Christian message and the heartbeat of the gospel. To misunderstand salvation is to misunderstand the very purpose of Christ’s coming. In the Bible, salvation is more than being spared from punishment — it is about being rescued from sin, made new in Christ, and brought into eternal union with God.

Faith and the False Gospel: What Scripture Actually Teaches. In churches across the world, a damaging and deceptive theology is being preached: if you’re not healed, it must be because you lack faith. The so-called "Word of Faith" or prosperity gospel has redefined biblical faith into a tool for getting what you want from God. In this twisted system, faith becomes a transaction, and suffering becomes a punishment for spiritual failure. But Scripture tells a different story.

What Is Faith? A Biblical Exploration of Trust, Belief, and Obedience. Faith is one of the most used and misunderstood words in Christian circles. Some define it as mental agreement. Others treat it like wishful thinking. Still others weaponize it to manipulate outcomes, especially around healing or finances. But what does the Bible really say about faith?

Prosperity Gospel: The Faithless Gospel. The Prosperity Gospel promises much and delivers little. It is the message of worldly gain dressed in spiritual language, offering earthly reward in exchange for faith. Yet the biblical Gospel promises something altogether different: suffering in this life, glory in the next (Romans 8:18). The so-called "Word of Faith" movement is, in reality, a faithless gospel — rooted not in the unseen hope of Hebrews 11, but in the seen and tempora

Persecution: The Cost of Faithfulness. The gospel does not offer immunity from suffering—it guarantees opposition. From Genesis to Revelation, those who walk with God are marked by trials, resistance, and in many cases, violent persecution. In a world increasingly hostile to biblical truth, it is essential to recover what Scripture teaches: persecution is not a sign that God has abandoned us—it is often the sign that we are finally following Him.

What Does The Bible Say About Patience? To follow Christ is to learn to wait. Patience is not weakness. It is not passivity. In biblical terms, patience is one of the most powerful virtues in the life of a believer. It demonstrates trust in God’s timing, endurance in affliction, and mercy toward others. Patience is a Spirit-born characteristic that opposes the impulsiveness of the flesh.

Faith That Obeys: Biblical Obedience. The modern church is eager to talk about grace, freedom, and identity—but becomes oddly silent when it comes to obedience. Yet the Scriptures are unambiguous: true faith is always obedient. In a culture of self-expression and autonomy, “obey” sounds offensive. But to the early church, obedience was a defining mark of faith.

Leaving a church is never an easy decision, especially for believers who value fellowship, community, and accountability. But there are biblical grounds for walking away when the foundation of a church no longer rests on Christ and His Word.

If you've been in church for any length of time, you've probably heard it said: “We’re saved by grace, not by works.” And that's absolutely true. The gospel begins with grace—unearned, undeserved favor from God. But here’s the tension: if that's all there is, then why does the Bible spend so much time talking about how we live, what we do, and whether or not we obey?
