     | 474 views

    How much devastation and destruction has been wrought because believer's think nothing of listening passively to slanderous accusations against their spiritual leaders? The Apostle Paul was a victim of this as well.

    Paradise, California. Lahaina, Hawaii. What comes to mind when I mention those two towns? What do they have in common? Yes, wildfire devastation. Firestorms that destroyed nearly the whole towns. I think most of us remember the terrifying and incredibly speedy devastation that each of these ...read more

     | 131 views

    Every king in history has worn a crown - but none like this King. JESUS, the KING of GLORY, wore a crown of thorns. HE was enthroned not on gold but on a cross. And through that cross, HE conquered sin and death.

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 3, 2025
     | 168 views

    Truth isn’t hidden or mystical; God revealed Himself openly in Jesus, offering relationship, forgiveness, and meaning beyond the illusions of modern “secret wisdom.”

    There’s a moment in almost everyone’s life where you wonder if the universe is trying to tell you something.

    Murder At The Altar

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 3, 2025
     | 138 views

    The first murder at the altar exposes the danger of unsurrendered worship, but Jesus’ blood speaks mercy, transforming Cain-like hearts through grace.

    There is a sentence that sounds almost unbelievable the first time you hear it. A sentence we tend to rush past because it feels too severe, too intrusive, too revealing. But when you slow down long enough to take it seriously, it begins to open a doorway into the human heart… and into the ...read more

    When Religion Collides With Revelation

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 8, 2025
     | 87 views

    Cain and Abel reveal two spiritual systems: self-made religion or grace-filled revelation. God accepts only the worship shaped by surrender to His revealed way.

    Some of the most defining moments in Scripture arrive without fanfare. No thunder. No angels. No miracles that split seas or shake mountains. Just a simple scene, described with almost startling brevity, that quietly reveals the inner architecture of the human heart. The story of Cain and Abel in ...read more

    God’s mercy meets us in our deepest failures, offering forgiveness, cleansing, and restoration when we honestly confess and turn to Him with humble hearts.

    If you’ve ever sat in the quiet and felt the ache of regret—the kind that whispers, “How did I end up here?”—you’re in good company. If you’ve replayed a conversation you can’t unsay, a click you can’t undo, a glance that went too far, a promise you didn’t keep, you’re not alone. The Bible doesn’t ...read more
