All Scripture
I believe the Scriptures are the Word of God—true, trustworthy, and without error. Practically speaking, this means I strive to let God’s Word govern my thoughts, attitudes, and actions. I am not perfect, and there are times when my life comes into conflict with what Scripture teaches. When that happens, Scripture must always prevail.
I see it this way: either God is God, or I place myself in that role. And whenever I try to make myself god, the result is always disaster. God’s wisdom far exceeds my own, and His Word leads to life, not confusion.
That is why I look to Scripture as my guide, my inspiration, and my teacher—trusting it in every matter it intends to address and teach.

Test What Is New
I once worked closely with many programmers, and one constant challenge was the assumption that new is always better. I remember a programmer excitedly saying, “Look—this just came out. We need to implement it!” We did. Unfortunately, it slowed the entire system down so much that some students struggled just to register for classes. New wasn’t better—it was disruptive.
The same danger exists with our beliefs. From time to time, someone introduces a “new” idea that sounds appealing or even progressive. At first, it may seem better, but in the end it doesn’t work. As Christians, we are called to test what is new, making sure it aligns with Scripture and does not contradict the truths and moral foundations God has already given us.
God’s Word is not outdated—it is trustworthy and enduring. Before embracing new ideas, we must ask whether they lead us closer to Christ or quietly pull us away from Him.

What You Believe Matters!
If you ever wonder why there seems to be more anger, division, and hatred in the world today than when you were younger, consider how far our culture has drifted from God. At the foundation of a healthy life and society is a deep and abiding belief in the living God. When that foundation is removed, moral clarity begins to erode—and in many cases, it disappears altogether.
Scripture warns us of this very reality. When God is pushed aside, people turn inward, becoming lovers of themselves and seekers of pleasure rather than lovers of God. What we believe shapes how we live, how we treat others, and how we understand right and wrong.

New Through and Through
One of my favorite verses in Scripture, Philippians 1:6, reminds me that God is not finished with me yet—He is still at work. That truth brings hope, especially in moments of frustration or discouragement.
If you trust in Jesus, this promise is for you as well. Scripture tells you that you are a new creation—born again, born from above, born by the Spirit. You are not who you once were. You have been made new, and God is actively shaping you day by day.
The change may not always be finished, but it is real. God is faithful to continue His work in you until the day it is complete.

Your Point of View
How often have we heard it said, “Don’t bother with that person—they’ll never change.” Yet those are exactly the kinds of people God delights in transforming. And that is good news, because every one of us is someone God has loved enough to change.
We live in a complex world, filled with countless opinions and perspectives. But as Christians, we are called to see the world through God’s eyes. That means we no longer define people only by who they are today, but by who God is able to make them through His grace.
“From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh” (2 Corinthians 5:16).

Compelling Love
Christ’s love is truly compelling. Once you experience it, you never forget it. But His love is more than a feeling—it is life-changing. When Christ’s love takes hold of us, it transforms who we are and how we live.
And because His love changes us, it moves us outward. We don’t keep it to ourselves or hoard it as if it were only for us. Christ’s love is meant to be shared. It is contagious. Having been loved so deeply, we are compelled to love others and to desire that they experience the same grace we have received.
“He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for Him who died for them and was raised again” (2 Corinthians 5:14–15).
