FROM THE KEYBOARD

True wisdom begins with reverence for God, while rejecting His instruction leads to folly. Relying on our own understanding risks leading us astray. So let us trust the Lord with all our heart — not trust our heart as lord. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5).

The Church exists by divine appointment — not to win arguments, but to proclaim the Gospel. In a world divided by lies, we must stand united in truth. "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth" (2 Timothy 2:15).

You can’t walk in truth if you’re not rooted in it. Carrying a Bible is easy, but living by it takes commitment. The enemy doesn’t fear a Bible you own — he fears a Bible you obey. "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path" (Psalm 119:105).

Stillness isn’t inactivity — it’s intentional trust, a quiet confidence that God is in control. When life feels chaotic, stillness becomes an act of faith that declares, "God’s got this." In the silence, He speaks, reminding you that His power is greater than your pressure. "Be still, and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10).

Don’t hide your scars—let them tell your story. Your wounds may be the testimony that helps someone else through their agony. Even Jesus bore His scars to soothe a doubting heart, so why not let your scars be where someone else’s healing starts? Because scars can be north stars—not for boasting, but for guiding others toward hope and redemption. "When He had said this, He showed them His hands and feet" (Luke 24:40).

When it comes to biblical truth, today’s procrastination will eventually lead to tomorrow’s persecution. In other words, if we don’t stand in the gap now, we will be closed in by the gap. Silence today is surrender tomorrow. “If you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” (Esther 4:14)
