    Stepping Into The New Year

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Dec 30, 2025
     | 239 views

    The literal suggestion to "refresh yourself" can be viewed as a metaphor for our spiritual life. Often, we seek refreshment and rejuvenation in worldly comforts or recognition, which may momentarily satisfy but do not truly fulfill the deeper needs of our soul.

    1. REFRESH YOUR HEART 1 Kings 13:7 "The king said to the man of God, ‘Come home with me and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward.’" In this narrative, King Jeroboam attempts to entice the man of God, who has just challenged the idolatrous practices at Bethel, with hospitality ...read more

    The Christian life is a journey, a race, but most importantly, it is a battle. The warfare is real and can be exhausting, but we must not fall asleep. A sleeping believer is a powerless believer and poses no threat to the devil.

A sleeping believer is powerless and poses no threat to the devil. 1 Thessalonians 5:5-9 (NIV): "You are all children of the light and ...read more
