Reflections on John Calvin’s, “The Institute of Christian Religion”, Chapter One. We live in an age obsessed with self-knowledge. From personality quizzes to self-help books, the world offers us endless ways to “discover ourselves.” Yet all of these means are like getting dressed in a dim bathroom light, details are softened, blemishes concealed, and what […]

Sin always meets us at the point of drift. Rarely does it conquer in the moments when we are leaning hard upon God, clinging tightly to His hand through prayer, obedience, and watchfulness. Rather, sin often finds us when we have grown casual, when we have let our guard down, when the heart has already […]

Jesus warned us not to hide our light under a bushel, but too let it shine where all can see. A candle was never meant to be stored, only spent. In the same way, our days are not meant to be hoarded or wasted, but offered up as light in the service of Christ. Yet […]

Recently I pressed play on a cassette tape that had lain buried for decades. The fragile ribbon of magnetic tape, nearly forty years old, still carried voices I had long thought lost. On one side was my mother, leading our family through our Sabbath routine. I could hear her singing hymns, her glorious voice rising […]

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.

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. […]

Today is Election Day, a day that stirs a unique blend of hope, anxiety, and expectation. As Christians, we gather not merely in support of political platforms or candidates, but in the recognition of a deeper, more sovereign reality: God Himself reigns over the affairs of nations. Our prayers should, therefore, align not just with […]

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, […]
