There are chapters in Scripture that feel comforting, and then there are chapters that feel confronting. First Corinthians chapter seven is one of those passages that quietly unsettles us, not because it is harsh, but because it refuses to let us stay shallow. It speaks into marriage, singleness, desire, duty, freedom, and devotion, and it…

1 Corinthians 6 is one of those chapters that doesn’t politely knock before entering your life. It walks in, sits down across from you, looks you straight in the eyes, and asks questions most of us spend years avoiding. Paul isn’t interested in surface-level Christianity here.

There are chapters in Scripture that do not merely teach us something new—they awaken something already inside us, something God planted before we ever knew to look for it. First Corinthians chapter two is one of those chapters. It is a passage that doesn’t just inform the mind but calls to a deeper place, a…

There comes a point in every believer’s life when the world looks too noisy, too complicated, too divided, and too clever for its own good. You stand in the middle of it all thinking, How in the world does God expect me to shine here? How do I carry faith into a culture where confidence…

There are moments in history when art stops being art and becomes a doorway. When a film stops being entertainment and becomes a line drawn in the sand, a call to awaken, a reminder that faith is not a gentle hobby but a force that moves the world. When Mel Gibson released The Passion of…

There are moments in life when the questions that rise inside the human heart are too large to ignore, too heavy to silence, and too sacred to rush past. One of those questions follows many of us through childhood, through heartbreak, through loss, through long nights and impossible seasons. It’s the whisper that comes from…
