    "Betrayal is a necessary path to greatness—without it, true strength and purpose can't be found."

    "Betrayal is a necessary path to greatness—without it, true strength and purpose can't be found."

    Yet, the Bible reminds us in the Gospel of Matthew, chapter twenty-six, verse forty-eight: "Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: ‘The one I kiss is the man; arrest him.’" This Bible verse is about Judas, one of Jesus' friends, who decided to betray Him. Judas told the people who wanted to arrest Jesus that he would show them who Jesus was by giving Him a kiss, which was a sign of friendship, but he used it to betray Jesus.

    "Authority should always be about power, control, and making others follow without question."
    Sep 15 2024
    "Authority should always be about power, control, and making others follow without question."

    But Jesus flips this idea on its head in the Gospel of Matthew 20:26: "But whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant." This verse means that if you want to be truly important or great, you should help and serve others instead of just thinking about yourself. Jesus teaches that being kind and putting others first is what makes someone great in God's eyes.

    But ironically, the Bible tells us otherwise. In Proverbs chapter twenty-two, verse six : "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it." This verse encourages guiding children with wisdom, allowing them to grow and learn, even through mistakes.

    "True stewardship means holding on to everything tightly because it's yours to manage, right?"
    Sep 13 2024
    "True stewardship means holding on to everything tightly because it's yours to manage, right?"

    Ironically, the Bible teaches us that true stewardship is about letting go and recognizing that nothing really belongs to us.

    In Psalm 24:1, it says, "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it." This means that God made the whole world and everything in it, so it all belongs to Him. This includes the people, animals, plants, and everything we see and use on Earth.

    "Hate is honest. Unlike love, it doesn’t ask for sacrifice or vulnerability. Maybe embracing hate is the only way to protect ourselves.."
    Sep 12 2024
    "Hate is honest. Unlike love, it doesn’t ask for sacrifice or vulnerability. Maybe embracing hate is the only way to protect ourselves from the pain that love inevitably brings."

    But in 1 John 4:20, it says: "Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen." This verse challenges us to see that hate actually destroys our connection to both others and God."

    "Pride is the key to happiness, and the more you exalt yourself, the better life will be."

    But in Proverbs 16:18, we are told: "Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall." This verse means that when people think too highly of themselves, they can end up getting into trouble. It teaches us to stay humble and not act like we're better than others.

  • "Why guard your heart when recklessness is the true path to freedom? After all, living on impulse feels liberating, right?"

    Sep 10 2024
    "Why guard your heart when recklessness is the true path to freedom? After all, living on impulse feels liberating, right?"

    But the Bible throws a wrench into this notion in Proverbs 4:23: "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." This verse reveals that far from leading to freedom, an unguarded heart can lead to chaos, as all of our actions spring from its depths. Ready to challenge the freedom of recklessness?

  • "True perseverance means never facing failure, and if you're struggling, you're simply not trying hard enough."

    "True perseverance means never facing failure, and if you're struggling, you're simply not trying hard enough."
    Sep 9 2024
    True perseverance means never facing failure, and if you're struggling, you're simply not trying hard enough."

    But the Bible shows us something very different. In James chapter one, verse twelve, it says: "Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him."

    This verse means that people who stay strong and keep trusting God when life is hard will be rewarded with eternal life, which God has promised to those who love Him. It’s like getting a special prize for being brave and faithful during tough times.
