Be Ready
When I was in college, I loved reading books by Paul Little. His message was simple yet profound: live for Christ every day and share your faith naturally from your own life. His deep trust in God inspired many to reach their friends for Christ.
Then, in 1975, Paul was tragically killed in an automobile accident. But he was ready to meet his Savior. Are you?

Where Is Your Heart?
Is your heart divided? On one hand, you long to “seek first His kingdom and His righteousness,” yet on the other, you find yourself pulled by the cares and pursuits of this world. Where is your true treasure? Is it wrapped up in your job, your work, your possessions — or is it anchored in God?
To explore this deeper, watch today’s video based on Luke 12:27-31.
What You Seek First
Priorities shape the quality of our lives. If your main goal is to accumulate as much money as possible, you’ll never be truly satisfied — you’ll always thirst for more. But if you seek God’s kingdom first, striving to live for Him and to care for others, you’ll discover His joy and peace. And here’s the beautiful part: God often provides the other things you need as well. The difference is, those things won’t end up owning you.

Worry
Why do I worry? Worry doesn’t solve the problems I’m concerned about. In fact, it only captures my thoughts and steals my joy, ruining the day. Instead of worrying, try praying with thanksgiving. You may be surprised to discover the peace of God waiting for you there.

Rich Toward God
I have a very large garage — the perfect place to store my treasures. But when I looked around this week, I couldn’t help but think, “Wow. I have a lot of junk!” How did I manage to accumulate so many things that, in truth, only distract me from the greatest treasure of all: living daily in the presence of my Savior? and serving him.

Is There a Sin God Won’t Forgive?
One day, someone came to speak with me, burdened and broken. With tears in his eyes, he said, “I think I’ve blasphemed the Holy Spirit. I don’t think God can ever forgive me.”
I don’t recall the specific sin he confessed, but I do remember the fear and hopelessness in his voice. I gently explained what Scripture teaches—that the unforgivable sin isn’t about a single act or failure. It’s the ongoing rejection of the Holy Spirit’s witness by refusing to place your trust in Jesus as Savior.
God’s Word is clear and consistent: we are not saved by what we do, but by faith in Christ alone. (See Ephesians 2:8–9.)
If you’re struggling with guilt or fear that you’ve gone too far, hear this: as long as your heart still seeks Him, His grace is still reaching for you.

Don’t Complicate What God Made Simple
Faith is so simple—even a child can grasp it. In fact, it’s God Himself who gives us the ability to believe. “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God…” (Ephesians 2:8–9).
And yet, how often we complicate what God made clear. We pile on rules and expectations. We worry that our past disqualifies us. We pray for forgiveness but still carry the weight of guilt and doubt.
But Jesus makes it simple: A heart that trusts Him—a mouth that confesses Him—is enough.
Don’t let fear or shame silence your faith. Don’t let religion get in the way of relationship.

What Do You Fear?
One morning on the way to church, I passed a man I’ve seen many times before. Normally he moves slowly, almost like a turtle. But today, he was pedaling a bike with urgency and fear written all over his face. A few minutes later, I saw his bike parked outside a convenience store as he emerged, clutching a case of beer.
I paused and asked him what was wrong. Something had clearly shaken him.
It made me think—what do we fear so deeply that it drives our actions, even when they don’t make sense?
In Luke 12:4–7, Jesus speaks directly to our fears. He reminds us that we don’t need to be afraid of those who can only harm the body. Instead, we are called to fear God with reverence—a God who knows us so intimately that even the hairs on our head are numbered.
Whatever you’re facing today, remember: You are deeply known. You are deeply loved. And the One who holds your life is worthy of your trust.

The Key to Knowledge
God’s law was never meant to be a checklist for perfection—it was meant to reveal our deep need for a Savior. It showed us that we could never earn our way to God on our own, and that only He could rescue us by paying the price for our sins.
But instead of leading people to that truth, the Pharisees added layers of rules—rules they themselves couldn’t keep. In doing so, they locked others out of understanding the very heart of God’s message: that salvation comes by faith, not by works.

Mulligans for You—But Not for Others
I used to golf occasionally—not very well, I admit. One thing I noticed was how often people would quietly take an extra shot… and then call it a mulligan. But here’s the thing: what was fine for them wasn’t always fine for others. It didn’t take long to see that some folks played by a double standard.
Jesus spoke directly to this kind of behavior when He said, “In the same way you judge others, you will be judged.” It’s a sobering reminder: we often want grace for ourselves and justice for everyone else.

Do What You Need to Do
The Apostle Paul once admitted, “I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.” If we’re honest, many of us have felt the same frustration. We often focus so much on avoiding what we shouldn’t do that we forget to actively pursue what we should be doing.
In today’s passage, Jesus challenges the Pharisees for doing just that. They were meticulous in their rule-keeping but missed the heart of God’s command: justice and love. Their actions lacked compassion, and in doing so, they failed to live out true righteousness.

Clean Inside!
The Pharisees were deeply focused on outward appearances—looking religious and righteous on the outside. But they had overlooked what truly mattered. Beneath the surface, they were filled with greed and selfishness, showing little concern for the poor. God cares not just about our actions, but also our thoughts, our motives, and how we love our neighbors.

Don’t Hide the Light
My dogs love to hide under my bed—it seems to make them feel safe and secure. But the other day, I noticed something interesting. When I charge my headphones under the bed, the charger gives off a small glow that lights up their hiding place.
It made me think: light isn’t meant to be hidden. Its purpose is to shine and reveal what’s around it. In Luke 11:33–36, Jesus says a light should be placed on a stand so it can be seen. But too often, our light is dimmed by hidden darkness—by the way we view the world, or by our attitudes and actions that don’t reflect God’s truth.

Give Us a Sign
It may surprise you, but people often asked Jesus for a sign to prove He was the Messiah—even after He had raised the dead, healed the sick, and cast out demons! Instead of believing, the crowds kept demanding more.
In response, Jesus said the only sign they would receive was the sign of Jonah. But most didn’t understand what He meant. What was Jesus really talking about?
