    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 5, 2025

    Rejection is painful, but interestingly those who are rejected by men are the ones whom God joyfully embraces to fulfill His plans and His purposes. The bible is full of examples of such people who though rejected by men were restored and honored by God.

    Friend, your words carry weight. Promises shape people. Vows mark moments. We know the power of a whispered “I do,” the gravity of “I’ll be there,” and the ache of “I’m sorry.” Words can build bridges, and words can burn them. Have you ever wished you could take a sentence back? Have you ever felt ...read more

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 12, 2025

    Rash vows reveal hearts that bargain in fear, but God calls us to trust His covenant grace, where Christ’s finished work—not our promises—secures victory and freedom.
