A family with a gospel-centered view of sin experiences something that never crosses the mind of their culture. Once you tap into God’s grace at this level, sin is not a disadvantage but an opportunity to magnify God through your family’s imperfections. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us (1 John 1:8-10). Here is a short list of those advantages.

Parenting Day 16: The Wisdom of Engaging the Sin in Your Family

This sermon reflects on James 3:5-10, exploring how the tongue, though small, has a mighty impact. James underscores the human inability to fully control the tongue, which He describes as a "restless evil" that can stain the entire body and set lives ablaze. However, the message of hope emerges and predominates as we see in Christ's power to redeem us and transform even our speech. It is through the work of the Holy Spirit that our tongues can be turned from instruments of harm into tools that proclaim God’s abundant love, truth, and forgiveness.

The Season after Pentecost (2024)

The Untamable Tongue: Blessing or Curse - Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost

The Untamable Tongue: Blessing or Curse - Sep 15 - Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost

How do we distinguish between situational Proverbs and forever Proverbs Solomon taught his son? Some seem to contradict others. We will cover a large portion of Proverbs, almost all of Solomon’s Proverbs for his son. We will apply some of these Proverbs for today.

Wisdom for Today Life Group

Assorted Proverbs Part 1 (Proverbs 10-22A)

We will finish looking at assorted Proverbs from other authors and more from Solomon. We will continue to look at how to apply Proverbs that seem to contradict one another to our lives.

Assorted Proverbs (Proverbs 22B-31)

When you're in the middle of a storm, it's hard to believe that anything good could come from it. But Romans 8:28 reminds us that God has a bigger plan for our lives than we can see in the moment. He’s at work, even in the hardest times, turning trials into triumphs.

So, the next time you face a challenge, remember: it might just be the stepping stone to something better. Trust the process, keep your faith, and know that good is coming — even if you can't see it yet.

How Life’s Biggest Challenges Can Work in Your Favor (Even When It Feels Impossible)

What is the message of the book of Ecclesiastes? We discussed the introduction to the book, the first half of the book, and how we can apply the message of these he asked his today for wisdom in our lives.

Ecclesiastes in the Meaning of Life Part 1

We will continue to track with the message and meaning of Ecclesiastes by discussing the second half of the book. What does it mean for today? What is the lasting impression the Teacher gives to us to apply to our lives?

Week 6 Ecclesiastes and the Meaning of Life Part 2

The last half of the book of James gives us wisdom to face trials in our lives. He covers the trials of heavenly wisdom versus earthly wisdom, the trial of worldliness, expecting tomorrow, the trial of wealth, suffering, and afflictions.

Wisdom for Various Trials Part 2

Track Title: Day Six – The Mirror of Judgment
Album: The 7 Days of Illusion for 1 Day of Truth

Description:
Day Six is the reckoning — the moment the mask cracks and the beast sees itself. No more blame, no more escape. This track holds the mirror up to every soul, system, and shadow. It's not about judgment from above — it’s judgment from within. You either break the illusion or it breaks you.

The sound is cinematic, intense — a dark soul-trap beat with orchestral stabs, ticking clocks, and deep sub-bass rumbling like thunder before a storm. The verses are surgical: every line a reflection, every bar a blade. The hook echoes like a courtroom verdict: “Look in the mirror… what do you see? The beast, or the one you were born to be?”

This is the day when truth no longer whispers — it screams.

Vibe:
Revelation with no filter.
Truth ain’t gentle. This is the day your reflection speaks back.
Stand tall… or shatter.

Day Six_ The Mirror of Judgment

Jesus’ teaching to "judge not" warns against hypocritical judgment, urging us to confront our own flaws before criticizing others. In His kingdom, we’re called to humility—applying the same standards to ourselves that we do to others, with grace rather than superiority.
