The Thorn That Tames Our Boasting

A person standing in soft morning light with a small thorned vine wrapped around the arm, symbolizing humility and God’s grace in weakness.

Paul’s thorn in the flesh shows how God uses weakness to guard us from pride and shape our boasting. The thorn of humility keeps our hearts near Christ and teaches us to boast under grace, where His power is made perfect in weakness. This post explores why God allows these limits and how they help us stay faithful as we look for the return of Jesus.

Living Ready, Not Guessing: Watching for Jesus’ Return

Sunrise over a winding path with an open Bible glowing in golden light, symbolizing living ready, recognizing the signs, and watching for Jesus’ return.

Many believers today are passionate about Bible prophecy and end-time events, but Jesus never told us to calculate the day of His return. He told us to “stay awake.” Our calling is not to predict the future—it’s to live ready for His appearing.

In this post, we explore what it means to recognize the signs of the times without losing sight of the Savior. We’ll see how Scripture calls us to stay watchful, faithful, and grounded in truth while the world grows more uncertain.

Living ready means walking daily in obedience, sharing the gospel, and keeping our hearts fixed on Jesus. The timing belongs to the Father, but readiness belongs to us. Every act of faith, kindness, and endurance matters as we wait and work for the return of our King.

The Bible says all have sinned—and that God, being perfectly just, gives one punishment for sin: death. Unlike human courts that vary punishment based on the crime, God’s standard is absolute. This post explains why everyone is a sinner, what that means in light of God’s justice, and how Jesus offers the only way of escape.

Are We Expecting God to Work for Us?

Four-panel Christian meme illustrating the contrast between self-centered and Christ-centered faith. The first panel asks, “Are we expecting God to work for us?” The second shows a man lounging, praying, “God, make my life easier.” The third shows the same man carrying a cross, saying, “Lord, use me for Your kingdom.” The final panel reads, “The only life worth living is one spent working for God’s kingdom.”

Many Christians expect God to make life easier—but that’s not what we were called to. We were created to serve His purpose, not our own comfort. True discipleship means surrendering our plans and working for God’s kingdom every day. This post explores how to shift from asking God to serve us to living fully in service to Him, finding lasting peace, purpose, and joy as we prepare for Christ’s return.
