Judges 2:10 warns that “another generation arose who did not know the Lord or the work he had done for Israel.” This sobering truth remains today. Parents must teach, model, and testify of God’s works, while children must embrace and live them. When either side fails, faith fades. But when both are faithful, the knowledge of God becomes a living testimony—lighting the way and guiding hearts from one generation to the next.

Everyone carries scars—some from our sins, others from others’ sin. The Bible shows scarred people—failing, betrayed, hurting—yet God never rejected them. He used their scars for His grace. Our scars don’t disqualify us if we repent, forgive, and surrender them to God. Though scars remind us of pain, Scripture promises a day when God will remove every tear and scar. Until then, we live as scarred servants, loved and used by God.

God’s kingdom has always required faithful tenants, from Israel to a people who would produce fruits for the kingdom of God. The Church is the “other tenants”—Jew and Gentile together, called by grace alone to be God’s chosen race, royal priesthood, and holy nation in Christ. We are entrusted with the privilege and responsibility to represent Christ, bear fruit, and glorify God. All while remembering that the vineyard belongs to God—we are simply tenants entrusted with it.

Outward repentance without true heart transformation is an empty ritual God rejects. Genuine repentance springs from godly sorrow, turning the heart to Christ and producing the fruit of grace. At its core, the Gospel calls for a heart fully surrendered—broken and contrite before God.

Unaddressed sin obstructs both personal and communal victory. The accounts of Phinehas and Achan demonstrate that God’s favor was only restored to Israel after sin was confronted and removed from among the people. True restoration begins within—before transformation can occur outwardly.

The Christian’s body and the Church are God’s temple. Does He find a dwelling of true worship, or has His house been overtaken by worldly pursuits? God calls His templs to be set apart, honoring Him with pure devotion.

God's chosen dwelling place among His people on Earth. Living in the temple made of stones, in the temple of living stones, within the believer's body, and ultimately becoming the everlasting dwelling place to be with His people forever.

Christians can overlook God's word, even when surrounded by it. Using the rediscovered Book of the Law and the parable of the prodigal son as examples, we explore how to find God’s word lost within ourselves, our families and the Church.

What are the tenets of Christian belief? Early Christians developed shared beliefs to counter doctrinal mistakes and support scriptural truth. To counter secular ideologies encroaching on the Church, we must recommit to our scriptural foundation.

The need for quick and decisive action in situations that may appear to have distant or far-reaching effects is crucial. You don’t necessarily have to be a direct beneficiary or personally involved in a situation to feel a deep concern and choose to act in faith before God, trusting His guidance and provision.
