    Renewal for Our Neighbors | Various Passages
    Dec 14 2025
    Rather than isolating from our neighbors or assimilating to our neighbors, God calls us to seek the comprehensive renewal of our neighbors. We should genuinely desire and actively help our neighbors to experience a thriving life. One of the primary (and often overlooked and underrated) ways we can do that is through our work. When we work with excellence, we bring glory to God and good to our neighbors.

    Nov 9 2025
    Jesus declares himself as one with full power and authority and declares that the church in Sardis, though having the reputation of being alive, was actually dead. It had become a church where it was just going through the motions with no fight left in them. They had no significance to God's Kingdom, no threat to Satan and the enemy, and no signs of life. But yet, Jesus still does not give up on them and exhorts them to wake up, repent, and remember the truth of God's words. Even in a dire condition as this, Jesus recognizes that there will be some who will remain faithful. He promises swift judgment upon those who remain in their deadened state. But for those who remain faithful, Jesus gives the assurance of recognition and eternal life.
