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.’”

Book of 2 Corinthians Summary: Strength in Weakness. 2 Corinthians is one of Paul’s most personal and emotional letters. Unlike Romans, which reads like a theological essay, this letter reveals Paul’s heart: his pain, his defense of his ministry, and his encouragement to a church that doubted him. It is a book of paradoxes — boasting in weakness, strength through suffering, and God’s power displayed in fragile vessels.

The Masoretic Text: What It Is—And What It’s Not. If you’ve ever read a Bible that didn’t include the so-called “Apocrypha,” or noticed differences in Old Testament quotations between your Bible and the New Testament authors, you’ve likely encountered the effects of the Masoretic Text (MT). But what is it, really? Where did it come from? And why does it matter?

Scripture: The Authority and Sufficiency of the Bible. From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is not just a religious text—it is the Word of God, breathed out by Him, sufficient to equip the believer, and the sole final authority on all spiritual matters. The battle over Scripture’s authority is nothing new. It has raged since the serpent’s first words in Genesis: “Did God really say…?” (Genesis 3:1, NLT). But Jesus settled it: “The Scriptures cannot be altered” (John 10:35, N

Sanctification: Becoming What You Were Made For Sanctification is not an optional upgrade for elite Christians—it is the evidence of genuine salvation. While justification declares us righteous before God by faith in Christ, sanctification is the ongoing process by which God actually makes us righteous in conduct, character, and desire. To separate the two is to invite a faith that saves no one.

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.

The Real Biblical Meaning of Jeremiah 29:11. Jeremiah 29:11 may be the most frequently misapplied verse in the modern Christian imagination. Plastered across mugs, journals, and graduation cards, it is often reduced to a generalized promise of personal success. But to rip this verse from its historical and theological context is to domesticate it—transforming a message of long-suffering hope into a shallow slogan.
