In a world that often celebrates individual achievement, Christian kindness calls us to something greater: a humble, selfless love for one another.
As we wrap up National Kindness Week, let’s look closely at the unique qualities and the practical truths of “brotherly kindness”—a virtue that not only strengthens our relationships but also serves as a powerful witness to the world around us.
The term G.O.A.T., which stands for the “Greatest of All Time,” ignites debates across numerous areas of expertise.
Who is the greatest classical composer? Mozart, Bach, or Beethoven?
Who’s the G.O.A.T. of U.S. Presidents? Think about the faces on Mount Rushmore: Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Jefferson.
In the NBA, the age-old argument continues—who’s the greatest? King James (LeBron) or Michael Jordan?
But today, I want to take that question into a different realm.
In the minds of many Christians, the most boring sections in the Bible are the genealogies.
But these genealogies are inspired.
At a quick glance, you might notice who is included in Matthew’s record—four outcast women—mothers.

When you think of boldness, especially in the context of faith and sharing the gospel, what images spring to mind? Do you picture yourself as a bold person? Imagine if your life were infused with spirit-filled boldness. What exactly does that look like?

The glorious doctrine of justification by faith is one of the fundamentals of the faith that was championed by Martin Luther and sparked the Protestant Reformation.

What do we mean when we claim that the Bible is the inspired Word of God? Many would agree that the Bible is a sacred book.

They believe that the Bible contains the words of God but is not the Word of God since they think that there are other complements to it.
But if we are not sure that we have an inerrant book in our hands, how can we be sure of the veracity of anything that we read in it?
Many want peace, but they fail to see how their pride and ingratitude rob them of that very peace. By nature, we are not thankful people. That’s why we need to honestly examine the Scriptures to learn how to cultivate the “gratitude attitude.”
