Love Your Enemies

Love your enemies as Christ did—choose unity over revenge, unconditional love over hate, and reflect God’s heart in a divided world. Love Beyond What’s Comfortable It’s one thing to love people who see the world as you do. When someone shares your values, opinions, or culture, love feels natural. That’s step one. Step two is learning to love those who are indifferent—people who don’t particularly care about you or your perspective. But the call of Christ goes even further: to love those who oppose you, mock you, or stand against you. Real love begins where comfort ends. The Cost of Conditional Love The world often says it’s fine to only love those who respect you, agree with you, or treat you well. But that...

Be the Master of Money, Not Its Slave

You should be the master of money, not its slave. This principle is not just about wise budgeting; it's about aligning your heart with God’s priorities and refusing to let material wealth dominate your life.   Money Is a Tool, Not a Master   The Bible never condemns money itself. In fact, it recognizes that money has practical value. However, it warns against allowing money to control our hearts. Notice, it’s not money itself, but the love of money that leads people astray. When money becomes an idol, it replaces God in our lives. The moment money begins to dictate our decisions, control our peace, or determine our identity, we’ve moved from stewardship to slavery.   God Calls Us to Stewardship, Not Servitude   In the parable of the talents...
