Swayed by Fleeting Trends


In a world often swayed by fleeting trends and personal desires, there walks a son who stands firm, his compass fixed on an unwavering north: the laws of the Lord God Almighty. His is not a superficial adherence, but a profound commitment, for he keeps God's commands not merely in his mind, but close to his heart.

This son understands that true freedom and abundant life are found not in forsaking divine boundaries, but in embracing them. For him, God's Word is not a rigid rulebook, but a living guide, a source of wisdom that shapes his very being. 

He knows, as the Psalmist declared, that "How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word" (Psalm 119:9).

His obedience isn't born of fear, but of reverence and love. He delights in the Lord's instruction, meditating on it day and night (Psalm 1:2). When faced with temptation, the Holy Word acts as a shield, a constant reminder of the path of righteousness. 

He hears the echoes of Deuteronomy 6:6, "And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart," and strives to embody that truth.

This dedication manifests in every facet of his life. In his speech, he is careful with his words, choosing to build up rather than tear down. In his actions, he seeks justice and kindness, knowing that these reflect the very character of God. 

When challenges arise, he turns to Scripture for guidance, trusting that "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:16). He doesn't cherry-pick convenient verses but embraces the whole counsel of God.

His life becomes a testament to the transformative power of divine obedience. He experiences the peace that comes from living in alignment with his Creator, the joy that stems from a pure conscience, and the strength derived from a deeply rooted faith. 

He doesn't just hear the Word; he is a doer of the Word, as James 1:22 encourages. 

This son, by keeping the laws of the Lord God Almighty close to his heart and obeying the commands of His Holy Word, walks a path less traveled, yet one that leads to true purpose and an enduring connection with the Divine.

    God is always good to those who seek Him intentionally for direction through this dark world system.

Saints United in Fellowship

The concept of the "fellowship of all believers" in Jesus Christ is a foundational and deeply cherished aspect of the Christian faith.   It speaks to the spiritual unity, mutual support, and shared life experienced by all who have placed their faith in Christ, transcending denominational, cultural, and geographical boundaries.   This fellowship is not merely a social gathering, but a profound spiritual reality rooted in their common relationship with God through His Son. The Foundation of Fellowship in Christ At its core, Christian fellowship is made possible by the person and work of Jesus Christ. Believers are brought into communion with God and with one another because of their shared reconciliation through Christ's atoning sacrifice. As 1 John 1:3 declares, "That which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed, our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ."  This verse beautifu...

Walking in Holiness: Cultivating a Sacred Heart in Personal Relationships

In a world where relationships often bend to the winds of convenience and compromise, the call to holiness stands as a firm and ancient pillar—a timeless beacon lighting the path of the faithful. To walk in holiness, especially within the intimate garden of personal relationships, is not merely a noble ideal, but a divine command—an echo of heaven’s own heartbeat. "But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: 'Be holy, because I am holy.'" (1 Peter 1:15–16) This charge does not end at the church door or fade with the closing of our prayer closet. Holiness is not reserved for mountaintop moments but is forged in the hidden places—within the home, in the quiet exchanges of love, and in the daily sacrifice of self for the good of another. 1. Holiness Begins in the Heart Jesus taught that the wellspring of our actions is the heart itself. If we would be holy in relationship, our inner life must be pure. "Above all else, gu...

Guidance for the Child of God

Living close to Jesus Christ as both Lord and Savior is the earnest desire of many believers, a journey that involves a continuous transformation of heart, mind, and action. This pursuit is not merely a spiritual ideal but a practical daily walk, deeply rooted in the teachings and example of Christ Himself, illuminated profoundly by the Holy Scriptures. For those seeking to draw near to Jesus in this dual capacity, Christian guidance consistently points to several key areas: 1. Acknowledging His Lordship and Accepting His Saving Grace The foundational step is a sincere recognition of Jesus as both Lord and Savior. As Savior, He offers redemption from sin through His atoning death and resurrection. As Lord, He claims ultimate authority over every aspect of a believer's life. This dual acceptance is beautifully articulated in Romans 10:9: "If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
