We Are Dust
“By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” Gen 3:19 Everyone born of women will return to dust unless the Lord returns. On July 14, 2025, Dr. John Macarthur left this world behind to be with our Lord forever. There has been no other man that I have met who has had a greater impact on my life than Dr. John MacArthur. Many of us have been blessed by his faithfulne

Baby Food
"I gave you milk to drink, not solid food, for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are still not able, for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking like mere men?" 1 Corinthians 3:2-3 Have you ever wondered why you are not growing and maturing in your faith?

When Hearts are Heavy
“Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me.” John 14:1 Solomon, renowned for his wisdom and wealth, describes in Ecclesiastes how achieving knowledge, riches, power, pleasure, and success left him unfulfilled. He reflects on the emptiness he experienced despite having everything he desired. That’s the journey Solomon shares in Ecclesiastes.

The Name Above Every Name
"Therefore, God also highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Philippians 2:9-11 Some claim that you can be a born-again believer by just declaring Jesus as Savior. When John MacArthur wrote his book, The Gospel According to Jesus , he w

Overconfident
"Therefore let the one who thinks he stands watch out that he does not fall." 1 Corinthians 10:12 When we place our hope and confidence in Christ, that is a good thing, but confidence in self is dangerous. Writing to the church in Corinth, Paul issues a warning to believers who might be tempted to think they are spiritually immune to falling into sin. Israel’s history shows that even those who have seen God work powerfully can still fall into sin if they grow careless, proud,

Fishers of Men
“And He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Matthew 4:19 Have you ever wondered why Jesus called Peter, Andrew, James, and John fishers of men? It could be because Peter, Andrew, James, and John were professional fishermen. It could be a metaphor. Just as fishermen catch fish, the disciples would now “catch” people—bringing them into the Kingdom of God through preaching, teaching, and making disciples (Matthew 28:19–20). I believe all three explana
