Christian studying the Bible, seeking godly wisdom.


More Education for This Generation

"Always learning but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." – 2 Timothy 3:7 (KSB)

   Education plays a vital role in transforming knowledge into meaningful change. Many individuals engage in studying, taking classes, enrolling in courses, attending workshops and seminars. However, there is a significant difference between studying and true education. Studying often involves memorizing information to pass tests or earn credentials, but it does not necessarily lead to understanding or lasting impact. True education requires learning deeply, resting, and then applying what has been learned to life in practical and meaningful ways. This cycle of learning and application facilitates real growth and transformation.

   Firstly, studies provide the foundational engagement with new information. People gather facts and data through various means, but this alone does not guarantee comprehension or change.

   Secondly, learning involves more than accumulating information; it demands processing, reflection, and grasping the principles behind the knowledge. This step bridges the gap between raw data and useful understanding.

   Thirdly, education emerges when individuals rest and integrate knowledge, applying it consistently in their thoughts, words, and actions. This stage ensures that knowledge influences life positively and produces tangible results.

   It is essential to move beyond simply taking classes or preparing for exams with short-term goals. The focus must shift to cultivating deep education where knowledge transforms conduct and contributes to abundant and eternal life. The challenge is to be continually learning while advancing toward true knowledge and wisdom.

   This generation needs to prioritize education that enables learning, resting, and applying knowledge rather than mere studying or information retention. This approach empowers people to live balanced, wise lives and to avoid repeating thought patterns and behaviors that are not the highest and best.

   May this understanding inspire movement from superficial learning to meaningful education that shapes life in powerful and lasting ways.

📖 Reflection: How can you move beyond gathering information to applying godly wisdom in your daily life?

💡 Action Step: Take one truth you’ve recently learned and intentionally put it into practice this week.

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...
