“Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven butContinue reading “The Radical Shift: Trading Earthly Ambition for Heavenly Wisdom”

The Price of Progress: What Technology Has Taken From Us
I am an ’80s and ’90s kid. I grew up without social media, and the internet was literally attached to the wall. I didn’t have a cell phone. Most of my time was spent outside—riding my bike, climbing trees, and playing with friends. I played baseball and studied every airplane that flew overhead. I spentContinue reading “The Price of Progress: What Technology Has Taken From Us”
The Wisdom That Leads to Real Change
There are two kinds of change in life: outward change and inward change. Outward change happens around us. It includes shifts in our circumstances or environment—moving to a new home, losing a job, receiving a promotion, or even changing your appearance. These changes affect our situation, and most of us experience them regularly. They areContinue reading “The Wisdom That Leads to Real Change”
The Non-Negotiable Man: Reflecting Christ in Marriage
I am currently reading through Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians as part of my personal study. I have read this letter many times before, but what I love about the Bible is that no matter how many times you engage with it, you will always find something new within its beautiful pages. As theContinue reading “The Non-Negotiable Man: Reflecting Christ in Marriage”
Life is a Lesson: Are You Willing to Learn It?
Life is filled with ups and downs. It has a way of making us feel elated, and other times, feel like we are in the darkest of pits with no way of escape. Life is a maze of twists and turns, hills and valleys, and at times beautiful views from mountain peaks. What’s more isContinue reading “Life is a Lesson: Are You Willing to Learn It?”
Repost: Be Strong and Courageous (Part 2)
“Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors’” (Joshua 1:6). Last time I discussed that strong and courageous leadership starts with submission to God. This time, I want to discuss how strong and courageous leadership means standing strong and being courageous in the faceContinue reading “Repost: Be Strong and Courageous (Part 2)”
Repost: Be Strong and Courageous (Part 1)
“Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors” (Joshua 1:6). These were the words the Lord spoke to Joshua when he succeeded Moses as the leader of Israel. But to fully understand their weight, we need to go back about forty years—back to theContinue reading “Repost: Be Strong and Courageous (Part 1)”
The Redemption of Peter: From Bitter Denial to Restored Love
When Jesus was on trial, Peter, one of His closest followers, stood by watching. Recognized by the crowd, Peter was accused of being a disciple of Jesus. Three times he was challenged, and three times Peter adamantly denied knowing the Lord. Peter’s betrayal was so crushing that, immediately after his third denial, he heard theContinue reading “The Redemption of Peter: From Bitter Denial to Restored Love”
Parenting And The Vineyard
Three years ago, my wife and I moved into a new home with our four kids—and the real showstopper was the backyard. It was a dream: sprawling, peaceful, and draped with arbors covered in lush grapevines. The first year, the vines were generous, bursting with grapes. But that had little to do with me—they hadContinue reading “Parenting And The Vineyard”
Be A Father Not A Friend
My wife and I homeschool our children. There are many reasons behind that decision, but that’s not the focus of this post. The other day, I walked into the house after work and found our kids gathered around the table working on presentation projects. My 12-year-old daughter came up to me, excited to show offContinue reading “Be A Father Not A Friend”
