Times are Changing, Yet There is One Who Never Changes

Image
In a world that often feels like it’s spinning out of control, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the chaos around us. From personal struggles to political turmoil, the shifting sands of life can leave us anxious and unsure of what’s next. But as believers, we have a foundation that never changes: God is in control. Psalm 46:1 reminds us, “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” When everything else feels unstable—our jobs, relationships, or even the state of the world—we can rest in the unshakable truth that God’s sovereignty is unchanging. He’s not surprised by our circumstances, nor is He limited by them. Governments rise and fall, leaders come and go, but God’s kingdom remains eternal. Isaiah 9:7 declares, “Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end.” This reminds us that no matter who holds earthly power, the ultimate authority belongs to Him. Likewise, in our personal lives, the chaos may feel overwhelming. Yet, God is the same yeste...

Are you Fluent in the Language of Change?

Image
For some, a new year is a motivation for a fresh start, new commitments and goals. I have listened to people’s resolutions to be healthier for the start of a new year. Sadly, to say, those resolutions have fallen apart somewhere along the way. More often than not those resolutions become unfulfilled desires. But we should never give up or lose hope. Richard Foster in his book Celebration of Discipline says “To pray is to change. Prayer is the central avenue God uses to transform us.” Every life-changing commitment starts with prayer. Any change on the outside must first begin on the inside. This is the role of prayer in transforming us from the inside and empowering us with the will and the desire to be healthier in body, spirit and mind. Whatever your health goals are for this year, I encourage you to harness a power greater than your own; so great to actually change you at your core. This power only comes from a loving and powerful God. Health Commitment #1 Make a list of three unhe...

Rebuilding The Full Circle Of Life (360 degrees): Four Steps to a Stronger You—Body, Mind, and Spirit

Image
  Rebuilding The Full Circle: Four Steps to a Stronger You—Body, Mind, and Spirit We live in a world that pulls us in every direction—stress, busyness, poor eating habits, and a constant digital overload. It’s no wonder so many people feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and out of balance. But just like your body can recover from physical exhaustion and poor nutrition, your mind and spirit can also be restored. Let’s break it down into four simple yet powerful steps: Detox, Restore, Strengthen, and Nourish —a strategy that doesn’t just change how you feel but can redefine how you live. Step 1: Detox – Clear Out the Harmful Stuff When it comes to physical health, detoxing means removing harmful substances—processed sugars, toxins, and pollutants that drag your body down. But detoxing isn’t just physical; your mind and spirit need it, too. Negative thoughts, toxic relationships, and endless scrolling on social media can be just as damaging. Take intentional steps to unplug, set boundaries, ...

If You Want to Rebuild your Health, Follow These Four Steps

Image
The journey to rebuilding health is not an overnight pilgrimage. Just like how it takes time to rebuild a house, a car, a relationship or any other major project; so it is with rebuilding our health. There are many steps a person can take to help rebuild their health, but the following four steps should always be included. These steps are: Step 1: Detox . The path to health starts with internal hygiene. There is not a more powerful way to heal the body than through a cleansing program. It should include proper elimination and detoxification. This first step, done on a regular basis, will open the way for proper digestion, absorption, utilization and elimination.  Step 2: Restore . The restoring process involves bringing the body back to full function. This is done by a continual and consistent effort to implement the eight laws of health, following a specific diet regimen, and making lifestyle modification that encourages and supports healing. Step 3: Strengthen. A strong body is ...

No Shut Down Here: Always Open and Ready To Serve

Image
  When Everything Grinds to a Halt A government shutdown may sound dramatic—and it is. It happens when Congress can’t agree on a budget to fund federal agencies. Non-essential operations pause, national parks close, and passport processing slows. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of federal employees face furloughs or work without pay. The ripple effects are unavoidable. Federal workers miss paychecks, businesses reliant on government contracts feel the strain, and public services stall. Even if you’re not directly affected, disruptions like delayed tax refunds or loans can still impact your life. Essential services—like Social Security, military defense, and law enforcement—usually continue. But shutdowns remind us of one undeniable truth: human systems, no matter how advanced, are fragile and prone to failure. A Kingdom That Never Shuts Down Now, contrast that with God’s kingdom. Unlike any earthly government, His reign is eternal and unshakable. It doesn’t rely on votes, budgets,...

Examining the Upside-Down Politics of God

Image
When we examine the politics of this world, we see a system often driven by self-interest, pride, and the pursuit of power. Campaigns hinge on promises that appeal to personal gain, leaders often seek recognition and influence, and policies can be shaped by the desire to maintain control. This isn’t new; it reflects the broken nature of humanity and a world separated from God’s design. But God’s politics—the way His kingdom operates—stands in stark contrast. In the kingdom of God, power is displayed through humility, and greatness is achieved by serving others. Jesus, the ultimate King, demonstrated this when He washed His disciples' feet and ultimately gave His life on the cross. Philippians 2:3-8 reminds us to "do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit" and points to Jesus’ humility as our model. While worldly politics thrives on pride and the struggle for dominance, God’s politics is rooted in selflessness. Matthew 20:26-28 captures this beautifully: “Whoever ...
