  • Peace Is Not the Goal — It’s the Path

    Peace Is Not the Goal — It’s the Path
    May 18 2025
    Peace Is Not the Goal — It’s the Path.
    And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." — Philippians 4:6-7
    Anxiety says: "Fix everything, then you’ll feel peace." But Paul says the opposite. Make your requests known before anything changes. The peace shows up in the asking—not the outcome. It’s not passive. It’s armor. A force that guards your mind and heart—while life is still hard. Peace is not a reward. It’s the strategy.
    Don’t chase peace—walk in it. Prayer is self-coaching for the soul. Philippians 4:6-7 is your daily drill.

  • Stop Comparing. Start Judging… Yourself

    Stop Comparing. Start Judging… Yourself
    May 11 2025
    Stop Comparing. Start Judging… Yourself.
    We’re told not to judge—but the Bible says, do it anyway. Just aim it at the mirror.
    "Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else." — Galatians 6:4
    We love judging others because it’s easier than examining ourselves. But Paul flips the script: the only pride you’re allowed is from passing your own test.
    Comparison is a shortcut to pride—or self pity. But self-examination? That’s spiritual maturity.
    Stop scrolling. Start reflecting.
    Forget comparison culture—try biblical self-coaching instead. Galatians 6:4 is your mirror. Start there.

  • Jesus welcomed children—but did He set conditions?

    Jesus welcomed children—but did He set conditions?
    May 10 2025
    Jesus welcomed children—but did He set conditions?
    “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
    —Matthew 19:14
    Jesus' invitation to children seems unconditional, yet He often spoke of the kingdom belonging to those who are like children—not necessarily children themselves. This raises questions: Is innocence a prerequisite? Must one embody childlike qualities to be accepted? In a world where children are vulnerable, how do we interpret this in the context of faith and salvation?​
    Reflect on the children in your life and community. Consider how you can support and nurture their spiritual journey.

  • What if the first sacrifice wasn’t just blood—but flesh?

    What if the first sacrifice wasn’t just blood—but flesh?
    May 9 2025
    What if the first sacrifice wasn’t just blood—but flesh?
    Genesis 3:21 (NIV): “The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.”
    🔗 Read it here​

    Before altars, incense, or burnt offerings, God Himself made the first sacrifice—covering human shame with animal skin. It wasn’t just about modesty; it was mercy. A foreshadowing of grace through flesh. This act set the tone: divine generosity through tangible, costly love. In a world obsessed with appearances, God prioritized covering our vulnerabilities.​
    God gave flesh to cover our shame—what will you give today? Reflect, serve, and love generously. Subscribe to ‘Holy Contradictions’ for daily reminders that grace always costs something.

  • Holiness isn’t about being 'good'—it’s about being generous.

    Holiness isn’t about being 'good'—it’s about being generous.
    May 8 2025
    Holiness isn’t about being 'good'—it’s about being generous.​
    “To whom much is given, much will be required.” — Luke 12:48 🔗 Read it on Bible Gateway​
    We often equate holiness with personal piety—praying, avoiding sin, attending church. But Jesus flips the script. In Luke 12:48, He reminds us that holiness is measured by our generosity. It's not about hoarding blessings but sharing them. Holiness isn't a private virtue; it's a public act of giving.​
    Holiness isn’t about hiding in a pew — it’s about showing up for others. Subscribe to Holy Contradictions and discover bold truths that call you to act with compassion, not just contemplation. One minute. One message. One chance to give more than you take.

  • God’s Inheritance Isn’t Yours to Keep

    God’s Inheritance Isn’t Yours to Keep
    May 7 2025
    God’s Inheritance Isn’t Yours to Keep.
    You inherited grace. But did you pass it on?
    "Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share."
    —1 Timothy 6:18
    Faith isn’t just a belief system—it’s an economy of grace. And like any inheritance, it only gains value when it’s shared. Paul didn’t just urge generosity; he framed it as a command. Why? Because we’re not spiritual vaults—we’re conduits. If your faith hasn’t made someone else’s life better, maybe it’s time to check your balance.
    Let your inheritance move through you. Give, serve, uplift—because grace unshared is grace undone. Subscribe to Holy Contradictions and turn your morning scroll into a moment of sacred challenge—no offering plate required.

  • What if the most generous thing you can do… is receive?

    What if the most generous thing you can do… is receive?
    May 6 2025
    What if the most generous thing you can do… is receive?
    “Freely you have received; freely give.” — Matthew 10:8
    We often equate generosity with giving—donating money, volunteering time, offering help. But Jesus flips the script: before we can truly give, we must first receive.
    Receive love, grace, forgiveness. It's in acknowledging our own need and accepting God's gifts that we find the capacity to give authentically. Receiving isn't passive; it's the first courageous step toward genuine generosity.​
    Before you give anything away, receive what’s already yours—grace, peace, love. Let your generosity flow from fullness, not emptiness.
    Subscribe to 'Holy Contradictions' and fill your soul with a minute of sacred irony each morning—before the world starts asking you for more.
