The Power of a Simple Declaration The Christian life is not just about knowing facts or practicing good behavior. It’s about a dynamic relationship with God. At the center of this relationship is a simple but powerful confession: “Jesus is Lord.” This phrase isn’t just a theological label or a church slogan—it’s a bold and […]

Planting Seeds of Faith Among Non-Believers
The Apostle Paul planting seeds of faith among non-believers in Greece. I often find myself reflecting on the different journeys people take when it comes to belief. Many of my friends and family don’t share my conviction that Jesus is the Messiah or even that the God of the Bible is real. I can understand […]
Chinese Herbs and Western Pharmaceuticals
In today’s world, patients are increasingly seeking integrative approaches to health. Instead of viewing medicine as an “either-or” choice, many now recognize the power of combining Chinese Herbs and Western Pharmaceuticals.

Seeking the Reward from God
In a world driven by likes, follows, and public affirmation, Jesus’ words in Matthew 6:5 strike with timeless clarity: “When ye pray, ye shall not be as the hypocrites: for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. … They […]

The Future of Chinese Medicine is unfolding at a fascinating crossroads where ancient wisdom intersects with cutting-edge technology. For thousands of years, practitioners have relied on observation, pulse-taking, herbal formulas, and acupuncture to guide healing.

The Roman Road: A Timeless Guide to the Gospel

Daily Process of Redemption
Awakening to the Daily Process of Redemption The daily process of redemption begins not with effort, but with awakening. Jesus declared in John 16:8, “And when He [the Comforter] is come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.” These words point to the Holy Spirit’s essential role in our […]
Trust in the Lord: A Commentary on Isaiah 50
Isaiah 50 is a piercing, poetic chapter filled with both lament and resolve (see full text of the scripture below). It opens with a courtroom-like confrontation: “Where is your mother’s certificate of divorce?” God is not admitting fault, but instead clarifying that Israel’s suffering is the result of their own sin—not divine abandonment. This is […]
The Lamp in the Attic: Finding the Light of God
We all search for meaning in different ways—through beauty, wisdom, spirituality, and self-discovery. But what if the very truth we’ve been seeking has been quietly waiting for us all along? The Lamp in the Attic is a story about one woman’s journey through a lifetime of spiritual searching, and the surprising place where she finally […]
Timing of the Rapture
There’s long-standing debate among Christians about when believers will be “caught up” (raptured) in relation to the Great Tribulation. Scripture isn’t crystal clear on the timing of the Rapture, so different interpretations arise. Here’s a breakdown of the three main views, and then I’ll offer an evaluation based on the biblical evidence. 1. Pre-Tribulation Rapture […]
What is Happiness?
Everyone wants to be “happy”. But… what is happiness? Happiness: The Modern View The modern secular world often defines happiness as a state of personal satisfaction, pleasure, or emotional well-being. It is usually tied to external factors—success, relationships, wealth, comfort, entertainment, or self-fulfillment. In this view, happiness is subjective and individualistic, something to be pursued […]
College Transition Prayers for Parents Letting Go
Dropping a child off at college can be one of the most bittersweet experiences in a parent’s life. Pride and joy mix with grief and uncertainty. Even if the college is close to home, the house suddenly feels quieter, and the rhythms of daily life shift in ways that feel both exciting and heavy. Many […]
Supernatural Fulfillment in Christ
I find the New Testament fascinating in the way that Jesus fulfills the promises and prophecies of the Old Testament so completely and with such satisfaction. My awareness of this supernatural fulfillment in Christ was prompted by one of Watchman Nee’s daily devotions. Matthew 15:33 In Matthew 15:33, the disciples ask Jesus, “Whence should we […]
Fear of God and Divine Friendship
In a world where information is easily accessible and opinions are abundant, true spiritual guidance remains elusive for many. Yet Scripture reveals a powerful truth: the friendship of Jehovah is reserved for those who walk in the fear of God. This sacred fear, far from being rooted in terror, is the awe-filled reverence of a […]
Equipping the Saints for Ministry
Ephesians 4:11–16 paints a vivid picture of how Christ has structured His church—with apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds, and teachers—all working together for one core purpose: equipping the saints for ministry. This phrase is not merely a theological point—it’s a summons to every believer. We are not called to be passive spectators in our spiritual communities. […]
Power Through Scripture: The Sword of the Spirit
Many Christians are well-versed in biblical truths. They attend Bible studies, memorize Scripture, and can articulate doctrine clearly. Yet despite this knowledge, some experience repeated spiritual defeat. Why? Because victory in the Christian life comes not merely through intellectual understanding, but through the power through Scripture as wielded by the Holy Spirit. As Watchman Nee […]
Jewish Interpretation of Isaiah
Jewish Interpretation of Isaiah: A Different Lens on the Suffering Servant When Christians read Isaiah 53–63, they often see a clear foreshadowing of Jesus—the suffering servant, the redeemer, the divine arm of salvation. But the Jewish interpretation of Isaiah offers a very different understanding, one rooted in historical suffering, national identity, and covenantal restoration. Rather […]
Who Created the Universe? What Your Worldview Says About You.
The Eternal Debate: Universe and Worldview What (or who) created the universe? The question isn’t just philosophical—it’s personal. Whether you’re religious, secular, or somewhere in between, your answer shapes how you see yourself, your purpose, and what matters in life. From ancient prophets to modern physicists, humanity has wrestled with this very issue. The universe […]
Isaiah Points to a Messiah
Isaiah 53 through 63 is one of the most powerful, cohesive, and foundational sections in all of Scripture. For the Christian reader, these chapters aren’t just poetic—they’re prophetic. They unfold the drama of redemption in striking clarity, revealing that when there was no one righteous, God Himself stepped in to save. Isaiah points to a […]
