Bible Verses on Obedience to God
There are countless Bible verses on obedience to God, emphasizing that following the voice of God through His written Word and the leading of the Holy Spirit is the essence of our faith as children of God. As the perfect example for every believer, Jesus came in the volume of the books written about Him, ensuring not to break but to fulfill the commandments and laws of God for His life. If Christ is our pattern, then we must follow suit in His footsteps. Unfortunately, today, many who identify as Christians are drifting away from the paths God has chosen—paths Christ Himself walked. This is far from Christlike. If we…

15 Insightful Bible Verses on Birthdays
What does the Bible say about birthdays? Are they worth celebrating? Well, let’s search the scriptures together. While some hold personal beliefs that discourage birthday celebrations, it is not accurate to claim that the Bible outright condemns them. Some people argue that the only birthday mentioned in the Bible is Herod’s, which led to the beheading of John the Baptist. And they use this as a reason to label all birthday celebrations as wrong. However, if we look closely, we see that the birth of Jesus was also celebrated by both heavenly beings and human beings, with songs, joy, and precious gifts. This is not to encourage extravagant or excessive…

8 Proverbs About a Good Wife
I love that this blog is titled “Proverbs About a Good Wife” because there are wives, there are wives, and there are wives. According to the Bible, there are bad wives, good wives, and excellent wives. The spotlight in this blog post is on “the good wife,” which extends to “the excellent wife” as well. The scriptural truth is that every woman is not a wife, and every wife is not a good wife. A good wife is a wife who does her husband good. The Bible further paints her as blessed, excellent, prudent, and wise. This means a man should marry a good wife if he wants a good…

15 Insightful Bible Verses on Being Kind
We’ve been told since we were little kids that the world is harsh and cruel. To survive, we need to close ourselves to it by being cutthroat and selfish. But doing that would end you up as a loner with a regretful life. Or you could do things Christianly — in Christ’s way, which is all about adding love and kindness to the mix. When you embrace kindness, you greet the world with open arms. And it doesn’t take much to be kind. Just a smile here and some little things there. The beautiful part is, kindness is contagious enough to change your immediate world. Still not convinced? Well, here…

15 Insightful Bible Verses on Being God’s Temple
In today’s world, we are programmed to think that we are not responsible to anyone and that we can do whatever we want with our bodies. We can abuse it, mutilate it, and neglect it, and it wouldn’t matter—not immediately, at least. But who cares, right? As Christians who believe we were made in God’s image, fashioned by His hands for His glory, we should know better than to approach our daily living with this mindset. God created the human body with a purpose. We weren’t just made to enjoy our physical world; God has predestined us to be His physical home—His Temple. This is a truth many people fight…

15 Insightful Bible Verses on Hell
We are at a time when many are lovers of themselves and their ways but do not wish to receive the reward for their actions. People choose to walk in the path of hell but want to end in heaven. This brings to my remembrance a conversation between God and Cain. So, it happened that Cain killed his brother, Abel. Ironically, when God spelled out his punishment for shedding the blood of his brother, Cain cried out, saying, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.” And he even added, “…that everyone that finds me shall slay me.” Then I keep wondering how a killer is afraid of being killed.…

15 Insightful Bible Verses on Being A Man Of God
In our contemporary times, the usage of the phrase “man of God” is so rampant. Automatically, anyone who shows some commitment to the ways of God is tagged a man of God or woman of God, depending on their gender. I have a lot of people, friends and acquaintances calling me this, and I do the same to others as well. Sometimes, this comes off as a mockery. Just like when you hear phrases such as “Virgin Mary!” “Mother of Jesus!” “Holy holy!” Other times, it’s with genuine admiration and expectation. And that’s where our focus is. Being a man of God is not just by bearing some religious titles…

15 Insightful Bible Verses on Heaven
One identical cry of every living person is to live in a world void of struggles, problems and pains. Unfortunately, such days have never been lived on earth as the battles and chaos of life don’t give up. And if you take your roots in the Bible, you can find two reasons why this world is saturated with ups and downs. One is that we live in a fallen world, so no matter how much we try to raise it up, we will only get weary until it falls apart again. The second reason is not far from the first reason. It is the cause of the fall of this…

15 Promising Psalms for Encouragement
There is no true life story without success and failure. Note that I said, success and failure, not success or failure. But, who would ever pray for an ill omen or willingly welcome the ones that visit without an invitation? I won’t either. Yet, even mountains have valleys and valleys have mountains. And in our lowly moments we all need some words or forms of encouragement. Such words and deeds are sufficient to encourage us to continue the race of life. However, we cannot always depend on others during tough times, as everyone has their limits. We may need to look elsewhere sometimes. Although this is not a challenge for…
