Deep Dive | Christian Perspectives On Creation Care: Jesus And Creation

Jesus cared deeply about the world He made. He taught using nature’s language — seeds, birds, and lilies — and calmed storms with a word. Colossians 1:16–17 says all things were created through Him and for Him. Caring for creation is, therefore, caring for something that belongs to Christ Himself…

SOP | Christ’s Object Lessons 3 – First The Blade, Then The Ear

In the parable of the growing seed, Jesus teaches that growth is not by human effort alone but by God’s mysterious power. The seed grows “first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear” (Mark 4:26-29) — a process that is both natural and supernatural…

Womanhood | When God Calls Her Name

Esther and Ruth. Their responses shaped nations and generations. Each faced doubt, fear, or risk, but said yes anyway. Today, we explore how women in the Bible responded to God’s call and what that teaches us about obedience, identity, and divine purpose.

Deep Dive | Christian Perspectives On Creation Care: Stewardship Not Ownership

We often talk about “my land,” “my car,” or “my resources,” but the Bible reminds us that “the earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it” (Psalm 24:1). We are caretakers of what belongs to God. Stewardship means accountability — using His resources wisely and with gratitude. Today we reflect…

Parenting With Purpose | The Courage of Young Faith

SOP | Christ’s Object Lessons 3 – First The Blade, Then The Ear

In Chapter 3, Ellen White compares spiritual growth to the silent development of a seed. The blade appears first, then the ear, and finally the full corn in the ear. Just like a plant, the Christian life unfolds gradually, often imperceptibly. True growth is real even when it’s hidden. Let’s…

Parenting With Purpose | When Goodbye Comes Too Soon

Grief has no age limit. Losing a loved one while still young can shape how a girl sees life, God, and herself. It’s a wound that often hides behind smiles and silence. Today we talk about girls and grief — how loss affects them, and how faith, support, and time…

Deep Dive | Christian Perspectives On Creation Care: Created To Care

In the beginning, God didn’t just create a world — He entrusted it to us. Genesis 2:15 says, “The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.” From the start, creation care was humanity’s first assignment. Today…

Mental Health Awareness | Children’s Mental Health: Supporting Children With ADHD

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder isn’t just about “restless kids.” It’s a neurological condition that affects focus, impulse control, and behaviour. With understanding and tailored strategies, children with ADHD can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally — but they need patient champions in their corner.

Manhood | Just Ask For Help

Men are often taught to “man up,” to stay silent even when their world is falling apart. But silence can be suffocating. Many brothers struggle privately with fear, pressure, or pain because asking for help feels like failure. Today we unpack this silent battle — and explore how God’s strength…

Deep Dive | Deepening Your Prayer Life: Living A Life of Prayer

A deep prayer life cannot survive on isolated moments; it must spill into every aspect of living. Prayer that is woven into ordinary moments — at work, at the table, on the road — reshapes us into people who are constantly aware of God’s presence. It is not just an…

Family of Faith | Navigating Grief and Loss As A Family

Grief is often experienced alone, yet families carry it together in ways that can either heal or divide. When loss strikes, every member feels it differently—children, parents, siblings, grandparents. Navigating grief as a family means learning to weep together, listen without judgment, and hold space for the different ways each…

Deep Dive | Deepening Your Prayer Life: Prayer As Warfare

Prayer is not only communion with God; it is also confrontation with the unseen. When life is attacked by temptation, oppression, or fear, prayer becomes more than words — it becomes a weapon. But this raises the question: do we pray as if we are in a battle, or as…

SOP | Christ’s Object Lessons 2: Hearing And Doing

It is one thing to hear God’s word and another to let it take root deeply enough to bear fruit. Many hear but remain unchanged because obedience feels too costly. The parable challenges us to examine whether our faith is only about listening or if it is about living in…

Womanhood | Wrestling With Doubt As a Woman of God

Doubt does not mean the absence of faith—it means faith is being tested. For women of God, doubt often collides with expectations to always be strong, prayerful, and unwavering. Yet the Bible is filled with women who wrestled with uncertainty and still became vessels of God’s power. The question is…

Deep Dive | Deepening Your Prayer Life: Praying Dangerous Prayers

Dangerous prayers ask God to break us, change us, send us, and expose the hidden corners of our hearts. They are the prayers that strip away comfort and demand surrender. They scare us because they leave us vulnerable, yet they open the path to real transformation.
