Does God Call Us to Safety? What the Bible Says About Faith and Risk

Following God is rarely safe—but it is always good. The Bible never promises a life free from risk, but it does promise that God will be with us through every challenge. From Moses confronting Pharaoh to Paul preaching in hostile cities, Scripture is filled with stories of people called into uncertainty, relying on God instead of comfort. True faith requires stepping out, trusting Him more than our fears. If you're struggling with fear, wondering if God is really calling you beyond your comfort zone, this article will show you why faith is stronger than safety—and why trusting God in uncertainty leads to the greatest rewards.

Why Shame Is a Liar: How to Overcome Shame as a Christian

Why Shame Is a Liar: How to Overcome Shame as a Christian

Shame is a liar that tells you your past defines you, that you are unworthy of God’s love, and that if people knew the real you, they would turn away. But the truth is, Jesus already paid for your sins—completely and forever. The Bible makes it clear that God does not define you by your failures; He defines you by His grace. Holding onto shame is not only unnecessary—it’s harmful. It keeps you trapped in fear, prevents you from fully embracing God’s purpose, and robs others of the testimony God wants to use for His glory. If you’ve been carrying the weight of shame, it’s time to let go and walk in the freedom Christ has already won for you.

What It Means to be Sanctified
Matthew Kalb Matthew Kalb

What It Means to be Sanctified

Sanctification is a lifelong journey of becoming the person God created us to be, and it requires continuous surrender to His will. It's not about achieving perfection overnight but about allowing God to fill every part of us, like a ship slowly sinking into water. As we walk this path, we must be vigilant, searching for areas where pride, fear, or selfishness still cling to us like pockets of air, and choose to let God in. With the Holy Spirit's power, we can surrender deeper and deeper, becoming more fully sanctified and drawing closer to the life God desires for us.

The Temple of Creation: Understanding Our Role as Image-Bearers

It challenges us to see creation as His temple, with us as living reflections of His holiness.

The Problem With Modern “Christianity”: A Call to Reclaim the True Mission of Jesus

Getting into heaven isn’t the goal. It’s step one. 

In many Christian circles today, the message of salvation is often framed in terms of personal escape from hell and entry into heaven. While salvation is a  part of the Christian faith, this narrow view doesn’t capture the fullness of Jesus' teachings and mission. The true message of Christianity extends beyond personal salvation—it’s about a radical transformation that begins here and now on earth.

If you asked the average modern Christian why they believe…
