The Uncultured Saints

Feeling anxious or fearful? Sleepless nights troubling you?

Remember, Jesus doesn’t choose some to heal and not others.

Jesus' timing might not match ours, and it may take years.

But know this: Your faith has made you well, tied to the resurrection, and it's done! 🙏

Your faith has made you well, even if you don't see it yet.

What Is the Demon-to-Pig Ratio?

The Bible can be a dark place sometimes....

Consider the story of the man possessed by demons in Mark 5.

He was...

Cut off from all of his family and friends
Not living in his right mind
Self-harming
Tormented night and day
Living among the dead

However, when the demon-possessed man sees Jesus, he runs and falls down before him.

And this is no act of worship.

This is how the demon is compelled to behave in the presence of the creator of all things.

This passage is such a comfort, in that we see that the demons have ZERO ability to stand toe-to-toe with Jesus.

Jesus's authority tackles and wins over even the darkest forces. 📖

And in that, you can take peace and comfort.

Preachers Without Honor

The Scriptures often flip our expectations upside down.
Throughout the Bible, God chooses unlikely messengers to speak His truth—those whom the world might overlook.
This theme continues with Jesus, who did not come to be an earthly king or a mere provider of miracles.
God’s plan doesn’t conform to our desires for earthly power or convenience.
And Jesus wasn’t sent to be another earthly king or a miracle vending machine - spitting out miracles left and right.
His mission was far greater: to be the hope for us here on earth.
By understanding this, we can appreciate that God’s actions always align with His will – and his will is for our eternal good, rather than our temporary satisfaction.
