FROM THE KEYBOARD

The world isn’t falling apart—it’s falling into place. Every war and rumor of war isn’t random—it’s a reminder. A reminder that the contractions are real, and the King is near. “And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled… all these are the beginning of sorrows" (Matthew 24:6, 8).

There is but one Name by which men must be saved. Salvation is not found in a religious formula we follow or a list of good works we compile—It is by and through the Person and finished work of Jesus Christ. He is not a way, but the Way. Not a truth, but the Truth. Not a life, but the Life “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12).

In a world loud with lies and soft on sin, discernment isn’t optional—it’s survival. The more counterfeit the culture becomes, the more clear and courageous the Church must be. Don’t blend in where you were called to stand out. “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…” (Romans 12:2).

The only way to purge the filth in our hearts is to be filled with the fire from God's heart. And when that burning fire breaks out, the sin of the soul is burned out. God’s fire doesn’t destroy the vessel—it refines it. “But His word was in my heart like a burning fire shut up in my bones; I was weary of holding it back, and I could not" (Jeremiah 20:9).

We’re not just living in perilous times—we’re watching hearts harden in real time. When self becomes the center, love grows cold. When godliness becomes a form, not a force, deception settles in like cement. Paul didn’t list these sins to inform us—but to warn us: don’t conform to them. In a world that loves pleasure more than God, true power is found in turning away from pretense and walking in truth. “Having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!” (2 Timothy 3:5)

You don’t overcome darkness by matching its tone—you overcome it by reflecting the light of Christ. Let your life be grounded in grace, not grudge. When you resist revenge and walk in truth, evil loses its grip. “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good" (Romans 12:21).
