Tax season is stressful. Between forms, deadlines, and the fear of missing something important, many of us carry the pressure of making sure everything adds up just right. In our financial world, if you mess up—there are penalties. If you forget something—there are consequences. It’s easy to feel like everything depends on your ability to get it right. But here’s the good news: God doesn’t operate like the IRS. When it comes to our faith, God isn’t looking for a perfect “spiritual tax return.” He’s not waiting to audit your life, hunting for mistakes. There are no hidden fees, no interest charges, and no fine print. In Christ, the debt has already been paid —in full (Colossians 2:14). This doesn’t mean we live carelessly. It means we live freely . We don’t give, serve, or worship to “earn points” with God. We do it in response to His grace, not to gain it. Where the world says, “You owe,” Jesus says, “It is finished” (John 19:30). The cross canceled every spiritual debt. You don’t have...

As we look around and see how things are set up nowadays to make every easy and accessible, I can’t help but think of all the food out there that makes life so convenient while making our health inconvenient. It may be impressive and a time-saver to be able to buy a meal that only takes minutes to prepare and be ready to eat; but I am totally unimpressed with what processed foods do to our health. Let’s review some of the dangers involved in processed foods. Harmful Effects of Processed Foods Weight Gain and Obesity : Processed foods are calorie-dense but nutrient-poor, contributing to weight gain and an increased risk of obesity. Cardiovascular Disease: The trans fats, high sodium levels, and added sugars in processed foods can elevate the risk of heart disease. Type 2 Diabetes : Excessive consumption of processed foods is associated with a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes due to their refined carbohydrates and added sugars. Cancer: Additives and preservatives in processed ...

  We live in a world obsessed with convenience, image, and taste. Health-conscious branding is everywhere: “plant-based,” “low-carb,” “guilt-free,” “natural flavors.” It all sounds so good, feels so safe, and fits perfectly into our busy, wellness-driven lifestyles. But underneath the sleek design and sweet flavor… what’s really there? Let’s be honest: much of what’s sold to us as “healthy” is processed, synthetic, and carefully engineered to taste better than it is . We’re drawn in by how it looks and how it makes us feel for the moment—but rarely do we stop to read the label, question the source, or ask: Is this really good for me? When Taste Becomes a Trap This same principle applies far beyond food. We often build our choices—physically, mentally, and spiritually—on what feels right. But Scripture warns us: “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.” — Proverbs 14:12 That’s not just about morality—it’s about deception. Satan doesn’t show up w...

                               The alkaline diet is an eating pattern that emphasizes alkaline-producing foods, like fruits and vegetables, and minimizes acid-forming foods, like animal proteins and cheeses. An alkaline diet has several health benefits including reduced inflammation, weight loss, improved bone and muscle health, improved cardiovascular health, reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, improved brain function, reduced risk of chronic conditions.

Kale : Cancer-fighting and cholesterol-lowering, rich in antioxidants, detoxifying, high in vitamin K, C, A and huge amount of chlorophyll, and containing four proven cancer-fighting compounds 3. Cucumber : Has...

  It started with a backpack. Stuffed with nothing more than a granola bar, a hoodie, and $1.63, Jerrick ran. Not from war or zombies—but from consequences. At 17, he thought skipping town would erase the firestorm he'd set off: stolen equipment from school, fake profiles, blackmail screenshots. No one had caught him—yet. But Jerrick couldn’t outrun his own mind. Every shadow whispered, “They know.” Every phone buzz made his stomach drop. Even in a different city, under a fake name, the silence felt louder than the truth. Then one night, under a flickering bus stop light, he met Grace. Literally—her name was Grace. She handed him a sandwich and asked a question no one else had: “What are you running from?” He broke. Every secret. Every lie. Poured out like poison needing air. Her only response? “It’s not too late.” That night didn’t erase his past. But it began the slow, hard road back. Restitution. Confession. Forgiveness. And the most surprising part? It was harder running from t...

As Christians, we are called to live with integrity and purity of heart in everything we do. Proverbs 4:23 reminds us, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” This verse emphasizes the importance of testing our hearts regularly to ensure that our actions align with God's will. It’s easy to fall into a pattern of doing good works, but the Bible challenges us to examine our motives. Are we serving others out of love and obedience to Christ, or are we seeking recognition and validation? Jesus warns in Matthew 6:1-2 that our acts of righteousness should not be done to impress others but for the glory of God alone. To truly test our hearts, we must be honest with ourselves. Are we motivated by selfish desires, or are we acting out of love and humility? Psalm 139:23-24 offers a powerful prayer: “Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” By re...
