If God seems far away, who moved?
Article for Wednesday March 11, 2026 Leviticus 26:40–41a 40 “But if they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers in their treachery that they committed against me, and also in walking contrary to me, 41 so that I walked contrary to them and brought them into the land of their enemies— Some wonder if there is a God. Some wonder if there is a God that left us. Many think that God does not care, and if there is a God why does He let us suffer or allow bad thi

Justified by Faith
Article for March 8, 2026 Romans 5:1–8 1 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. We truly believe and know that our works and obedience to the law does not save us. We put our faith in that Jesus Christ has justified us to the Father who opens the gateway to everlasting life.

Repentance, Pride and Judging
Article for Wednesday March 4, 2026 Repentance extends beyond confession alone ; true believers must desire reconciliation with God and resolve to cease serving sin, self, or other authorities, instead committing to live according to God’s will. Merely admitting wrongdoing while refusing to submit to God’s truth about change doesn’t constitute repentance—rather, repentance means agreeing with God’s evaluation of sin and willingly following His direction forward. Positi

Boast in God for your righteousness
Article for Sunday March 1, 2026 Romans 4:1–3 1 What then shall we say was gained by Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh? 2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. 3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” There is a massive amount of people who believe they need to be good to go to church. Also, there are as many who think only the good will go to hea

Don't miss the everyday signs
Article for Wednesday February 25, 2026 Matthew 12:38–39 38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying, “Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you.” 39 But he answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. Many people do not believe there is a God because they do not see Him. Many people want to see at least a sign or miracle that will make them believe. And many want a

The Free Gift Freely Given
Article for February 15, 2026 Romans 5:12–14 12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned— 13 for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. 14 Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come. We are starting the season of Lent.

Treasures in Heaven
Article for Ash Wednesday February 18, 2026 Matthew 6:19–21 19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” I have said this before; we put more importance on this life than we do on our real life to come. That i
