The Diligent Christian
God equips us with all we need to live faithfully, but diligence is key. A diligent Christian grows in virtue, knowledge, and love, bears fruit, and endures trials. Like a grateful student striving to honor a benefactor, we pursue holiness, relying on the Holy Spirit, so that one day we enter God’s everlasting kingdom with joy and reward.

He Finds It Empty
Are self-help books enough to truly change us? Jesus’ parable of the unclean spirit (Matthew 12:43-45) shows that cleaning up our lives or following rules isn’t enough—without the Holy Spirit, our “house” remains empty. True transformation starts in the heart, guided by God’s Spirit, not by self-effort or appearances. Walk in the Spirit, bear fruit, and let God fill what self-help can’t.

A Letter From Christ
Your life is a letter from Christ. It is read daily by everyone around you. Written not with ink, but by the Spirit on human hearts, it leaves a lasting impression. What does your letter say about Christ? God still allows revisions, transforming us so our lives reflect His love, truth, and grace more clearly each day.

Clothed With Christ
The parable of the wedding feast reminds us that God invites many, but entrance requires the right garment. Christ offers His righteousness freely, yet it must be received and worn. We can come as we are, but we cannot remain unchanged. Salvation brings transformation, not just attendance at the feast.

Making the Most of the Time
A Life of Regret "I wish I knew then, what I know now." Probably everyone has heard that expression. As an older person my friends and I often talk about our regrets. Sometimes we wish we could get a "do over". But sadly, no, that is not going to happen. When we come to the end, whenever that is, we will all wish we had done many things differently. By paying attention to the Lord's will we will be able to make the most of our time wisely. Making The Most Of The Time In
