Gratitude will anchor you when life shakes. Gratitude isn’t just a seasonal feeling. It is a spiritual safeguard. It keeps your heart awake to God’s work right in front of you. What if the real danger this season is not busyness but a quiet drift from thankfulness?

Jesus offers a wake up call in Luke 17. Let’s heed His warning and seek His cure. Dr. James MacDonald preaches without apology straight from the pages of Scripture, provoking Christians to think and act on their faith.

Revelation 6 opens with force: A white horse conquering. A red horse taking peace. A black horse bringing scarcity. A pale horse named Death. And the cry beneath the altar: How long, O Lord? God has set a future moment when history will reach its finish—His plan, His timing, His authority. Are you ready?

Looking into heaven, the Apostle John saw what no one expected: “a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain” (Revelation 5:6).
How can that be?

A lamb that bleeds… but doesn’t fall? A sacrifice that looks defeated… yet radiates victory?

Get ready to pull back the curtain on the mystery of Jesus: the Lion who conquers by becoming the Lamb.

You know that feeling when you’re in an intimidating room—the principal’s office, your boss’s office, a courtroom. Heart pounding, palms sweating, the weight of authority is right in front of you.

But nothing compares to the throne room of God.

Revelation 4 takes us straight there. Not a dream or someone’s idea of heaven, but Jesus Himself showing John what being in the presence of the Almighty is really like.

Come and see… the King of the universe invites you in!

Fire… it can be comforting and calming, or out of control and devastating.
In Scripture, fire is a picture of spiritual vitality, and every fire needs tending. Spiritually, we all need to be stirred up again—fresh fuel, a little air, and a renewed flame.

Let’s get fired up together!

Falling asleep at the wheel can be deadly. Spiritual sleep is even more dangerous: The church in Sardis had the reputation of being alive, but Jesus pierces them with truth: “You are dead. Wake up, and strengthen what remains.” (Revelation 3:1-2) He calls us to the same this very day— wake up spiritually. Shake off the distractions and walk wide awake in the light of Christ.
