Practising Righteousness Before God, Not People

Have you ever paused to ask yourself why you do the things you do for God? In Matthew 6:1, Jesus challenges something deeper than actions. He points straight to our motives.

If you have ever wrestled with sincerity in your walk with Christ, this might speak directly to your heart. Discover the heart posture God truly honours.

Responding to Opposition with Prayer and Action

Every time God’s work moves forward, resistance often follows. Nehemiah faced opposition, yet his response still speaks today. What if prayer was never meant to replace action, but strengthen it? And what if ignoring vulnerable areas leaves us more exposed than we realise? This reflection from Nehemiah 4 explores how believers can stand firm, pray wisely, and act with discernment when challenges arise. If you’ve ever felt resistance while doing what God asked, this message is for you.

Finding Meaning in Life Through God’s Purpose

Ever feel like something's missing, even when you have it all? King Solomon, with his immense wealth and wisdom, reached a startling conclusion about life's ultimate meaning. He called it 'chasing the wind,' a pursuit yielding no lasting gain. But he also found the answer to a life filled with profound purpose, not vanity. Are you ready to discover the true source of lasting fulfilment and avoid living a life of chasing the wind?

Understanding the Law of Sowing and Reaping

Ever wonder why some efforts yield abundant results while others seem to fall flat? The Bible reveals a profound, universal principle that governs our lives: the law of sowing and reaping.

This powerful concept clarifies how our daily interactions truly influence the harvest we receive, both now and in eternity. Are you sowing for destruction or for life?

Understanding the Value of God’s Kingdom

What if the most valuable thing in life does not look impressive at first glance? Jesus spoke about a single pearl worth giving up everything for. That image challenges how we measure success, value, and fulfilment today. Many chase what shines on the outside, yet still feel an inner hunger that nothing satisfies. Could it be that true worth lies elsewhere? This brief reflection invites you to reconsider what is truly worth holding onto and what may be worth releasing.

We naturally protect our lives at all costs. Yet Jesus asks a confronting question about what truly matters. What if real life begins where self-preservation ends?

If you have ever wondered what Jesus meant by losing your life to find it, this is for you. Continue reading and reflect deeply.
