There is something about holding a well-worn Bible in your hands that no digital app can ever replicate. The creased leather, softened by time and touch. The thin, fragile pages, crinkled at the corners where your fingers have frequently lingered. The scent, mixture of old paper, ink, and perhaps a hint of the places where […]
Wedding rings are so much more than pieces of jewelry. They are symbols, reminders of love and commitment, visible testaments to a covenant made. When I look at the ring on my left hand, I see a reflection of the promises my husband and I made to one another, to love, cherish, and walk together […]
Far too often Christians living in quiet resignation to the power of sin in our lives. We acknowledge our salvation, profess our faith in Christ, yet remain bound by the same struggles year after year, content to grieve over our failures but unwilling to truly rise up and fight against them. This is not the […]
In an era saturated with notifications, endless scrolling, and algorithm-driven entertainment, our attention has become one of the most valuable and contested resources. Jacques Ellul, in The Technological Society, warns of how technology reshapes not only our external environment but our very way of being in the world, bending us toward efficiency, consumption, and distraction.

It’s been a heavy past few weeks for our family. Recently, we experienced the unexpected loss of a sibling, who was a beloved husband, father, daddy-in-law, favorite uncle and friend to many.

Our prayers should, therefore, align not just with […]
Art has always had a special place in my heart. It speaks to something deep within, capturing what words often fail to express. I remember vividly a particular visit to the Dallas Museum of Art. I walked through the exhibit “Bouquets: French Still-life Painting from Chardin to Matisse,” and was utterly captivated. These 19th-century oil […]
“Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, how will you make it salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.” – Mark 9:50 On the surface, Mark 9:50 may seem like a simple metaphor, but in its depth, it is a call to holiness, integrity, and […]
In recent years, the rise of “Christian” movies has been both a blessing and a concern for the Church. While the intention behind creating faith-based films is noble, to spread the Gospel and uplift believers, the execution often misses the mark. Many of these films, rather than exalting the majesty and sovereignty of God, have […]
In a world where self-promotion is celebrated and platforms are eagerly sought after, there is a stark difference between those who rush to build a following and those who, like myself, approach publishing with hesitation. It can feel more like an act of vulnerability than an opportunity for influence. The pressure to have a presence, […]
