Tomorrow is going to Come Anyway
Life’s journey is an unpredictable ride, isn’t it? Each day greets us with a mix of surprises — some delightful, others daunting. It’s a reality we all face: tomorrow will come, and with it, a new set of uncertainties. As Christians, though, we are called to approach each day with faith, hope, and a steadfast…

Yet, as Christians, we find assurance and encouragement in God’s Word that affirms the unique value of every individual life. Jeremiah…

I Find Myself Absolutely Fascinating
In the journey of life, it’s easy to become enamored with ourselves — our strengths, our accomplishments, our desires. We live in a world that often encourages self-focus, self-promotion, and self-indulgence. However, as Christians, we are called to a different standard. We are called to humility, selflessness, and a realistic view of ourselves in light…
