Biblical Christianity relies on the Bible to understand true faith. It is counter to cultural Christianity, which does not truly adhere to the faith or the Bible. Biblical Christianity bases its doctrine on the Bible alone. Cultural Christianity may be based on family background, personal experience, country of residence, or social environment—what the Bible says is secondary. Cultural Christianity produces nominal believers who label themselves as Christians but who allow culture to define their convictions. Biblical Christianity produces true believers who use God’s Word to understand salvation and what it means to be a Christian.
Biblical Christianity adheres to the fundamentals of the Christian faith, as found in the Bible:
1) The Triunity of God: the one God exists eternally in three Persons.
2) Jesus Christ is fully man and fully God. His death was the substitutionary sacrifice for sinners, and He rose again bodily.
3) Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.
4) The sixty-six books of the Bible are God’s Word, inspired, inerrant, and sufficient for living a godly life.
5) Jesus Christ is coming again to judge sin and rule the world.
Any departure from these points represents a departure from biblical Christianity.
The words we have in both the Old and New Testaments are described as God’s very words (Job 23:12; Psalm 119:9; Isaiah 55:11; John 6:63; 2 Timothy 3:16–17). The apostle Paul commends the believers in Thessalonica for accepting what he shared as God’s words to them: “And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe” (1 Thessalonians 2:13). Jesus Himself exemplified the importance of God’s Word. When He was tempted, He relied on Scripture to defeat Satan, saying, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God’” (Matthew 4:4). This is the example the early Christians followed in their faith.
In the days of the early church, there was no such thing as cultural Christianity. Believers were in many ways counter-cultural, transformed by Christ’s resurrection and the Holy Spirit. They studied the Scriptures (Acts 17:11). They were biblical Christians. Whereas cultural Christianity is comfortable and focused on cultural issues, biblical Christianity produces believers who are willing to die for their faith based on what the Bible says. Biblical Christianity is historic Christianity.
A true Christian has received Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior (John 1:12). He believes that Christ has paid the penalty for his sin (2 Corinthians 5:21). He trusts in Jesus’ resurrection. Jesus said that anyone who wishes to become His disciple must “deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me” (Luke 9:23). A biblical Christian knows what that looks like because he bases his life on God’s Word, not on cultural norms.
The Protestant Reformation brought a revival of biblical Christianity. For centuries the Roman Catholic Church had made its traditions superior in authority to the Bible, which resulted in many practices contrary to the Bible. Sola scriptura was the cry of the Reformers. Sola scriptura means that Scripture alone is authoritative for the faith and practice of the Christian. The Bible tells us that God’s Word is true, God-breathed and complete (2 Timothy 3:16), and we are warned not to go beyond what is written (1 Corinthians 4:6). The Reformers were calling Christians back to biblical Christianity.
Today, true Christians are still rightly dividing the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15) and calling people to biblical Christianity. In a world where people want to redefine everything, we must hold firm to the truth that God’s Word endures forever (Isaiah 40:8; Mark 13:31). Our faith should be based firmly on what He has revealed to us in His Word. Christianity that is not biblical is not true Christianity.
Bybelse Christendom steun op die Bybel om ware geloof te verstaan. Dit is teenstrydig met kulturele Christendom, wat nie werklik by die geloof of die Bybel aansluit nie. Bybelse Christendom baseer sy leerstelling slegs op die Bybel. Kulturele Christendom kan gebaseer wees op familie-agtergrond, persoonlike ervaring, land van verblyf of sosiale omgewing – wat die Bybel sê, is sekondêr. Kulturele Christendom produseer nominale gelowiges wat hulself as Christene bestempel, maar wat toelaat dat kultuur hul oortuigings definieer. Bybelse Christendom produseer ware gelowiges wat God se Woord gebruik om verlossing te verstaan en wat dit beteken om ‘n Christen te wees.
Bybelse Christendom hou by die grondbeginsels van die Christelike geloof, soos gevind in die Bybel:
1) Die Drie-eenheid van God: die een God bestaan ewig in drie Persone.
2) Jesus Christus is volledig mens en volledig God. Sy dood was die plaasvervangende offer vir sondaars, en Hy het liggaamlik weer opgestaan.
3) Verlossing is deur genade alleen deur geloof alleen in Christus alleen.
4) Die ses-en-sestig boeke van die Bybel is God se Woord, geïnspireer, onfeilbaar en voldoende om ‘n godvrugtige lewe te lei.
5) Jesus Christus kom weer om sonde te oordeel en oor die wêreld te regeer.
Enige afwyking van hierdie punte verteenwoordig ‘n afwyking van Bybelse Christendom.
Die woorde wat ons in beide die Ou en Nuwe Testamente het, word beskryf as God se woorde self (Job 23:12; Psalm 119:9; Jesaja 55:11; Johannes 6:63; 2 Timoteus 3:16–17). Die apostel Paulus prys die gelowiges in Tessalonika omdat hulle aanvaar het wat hy gedeel het as God se woorde aan hulle: “En ons dank God ook gedurig dat, toe julle die woord van God ontvang het wat julle van ons gehoor het, julle dit nie as ‘n menslike woord aangeneem het nie, maar soos dit werklik is, die woord van God wat ook werk in julle wat glo” (1 Tessalonisense 2:13). Jesus self het die belangrikheid van God se Woord geïllustreer. Toe Hy versoek is, het Hy op die Skrif staatgemaak om Satan te verslaan en gesê: “Daar is geskrywe: ‘Die mens sal nie van brood alleen lewe nie, maar van elke woord wat uit die mond van God kom’” (Matteus 4:4). Dit is die voorbeeld wat die vroeë Christene in hul geloof gevolg het.
In die dae van die vroeë kerk was daar nie so iets soos kulturele Christendom nie. Gelowiges was in baie opsigte teenkultureel, getransformeer deur Christus se opstanding en die Heilige Gees. Hulle het die Skrif bestudeer (Handelinge 17:11). Hulle was Bybelse Christene. Terwyl kulturele Christendom gemaklik is en op kulturele kwessies gefokus is, produseer Bybelse Christendom gelowiges wat bereid is om vir hul geloof te sterf gebaseer op wat die Bybel sê. Bybelse Christendom is historiese Christendom.
’n Ware Christen het Jesus Christus as persoonlike Here en Verlosser ontvang (Johannes 1:12). Hy glo dat Christus die straf vir sy sonde betaal het (2 Korintiërs 5:21). Hy vertrou op Jesus se opstanding. Jesus het gesê dat enigiemand wat Sy dissipel wil word, homself moet verloën, elke dag sy kruis moet opneem en My moet volg (Lukas 9:23). ‘n Bybelse Christen weet hoe dit lyk, want hy baseer sy lewe op God se Woord, nie op kulturele norme nie.
Die Protestantse Hervorming het ‘n herlewing van Bybelse Christendom gebring. Vir eeue het die Rooms-Katolieke Kerk sy tradisies hoër in gesag as die Bybel gestel, wat gelei het tot baie praktyke wat strydig met die Bybel is. Sola scriptura was die uitroep van die Hervormers. Sola scriptura beteken dat die Skrif alleen gesaghebbend is vir die geloof en praktyk van die Christen. Die Bybel vertel ons dat God se Woord waar, deur God ingegee en volledig is (2 Timoteus 3:16), en ons word gewaarsku om nie verder te gaan as wat geskrywe is nie (1 Korintiërs 4:6). Die Hervormers het Christene teruggeroep na Bybelse Christendom.
Vandag verdeel ware Christene steeds die woord van die waarheid reg (2 Timoteus 2:15) en roep mense tot Bybelse Christendom. In ‘n wêreld waar mense alles wil herdefinieer, moet ons vashou aan die waarheid dat God se Woord vir ewig bly (Jesaja 40:8; Markus 13:31). Ons geloof moet stewig gebaseer wees op wat Hy aan ons in Sy Woord geopenbaar het. Christendom wat nie Bybels is nie, is nie ware Christendom nie.
Bible Verse and Prayer for Today
It is not enough to turn from evil. We can clean the putrid things out of our lives and hearts, but if we do not actively pursue what is good, then a worse evil can rush into the void, and our second condition becomes worse than the first (Matthew 12:43-45). So, let’s be people who turn from evil, become eager to do what is good, and with a passion choose to “wage peace.”
Prayer
O Father, please let me be an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, use me to share your love and grace. Where there is injury, sin, and brokenness, please use me to bring healing, forgiveness, and comfort. Please, Abba Father, use me to do your good work in my broken world as I seek to live at peace with all people. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen and Amen.
Bybel Vers en Gebed vir Vandag
Dit is nie genoeg om van die kwaad af te draai nie. Ons kan die verrotte dinge uit ons lewens en harte skoonmaak, maar as ons nie aktief nastreef wat goed is nie, kan 'n erger kwaad in die leemte instorm, en ons tweede toestand word erger as die eerste (Matteus 12:43-45). Laat ons dus mense wees wat van die kwaad af wegdraai, gretig word om te doen wat goed is, en met 'n passie kies om "vrede te maak".
Gebed
O Vader, laat my asseblief 'n instrument van u vrede wees. Waar daar haat is, gebruik my om u liefde en genade te deel. Waar daar besering, sonde en gebrokenheid is, gebruik my asseblief om genesing, vergifnis en vertroosting te bring. Asseblief, Abba Vader, gebruik my om u goeie werk in my gebroke wêreld te doen terwyl ek daarna streef om in vrede met alle mense te leef. In Jesus se Naam, bid ek. Amen en Amen
Bible Teaching of the Day
a Biblical list of Sins
We often think that our lives can be simplified if we just have a checklist to follow. We have shopping lists, to-do lists, wish lists, and more. Surely, if God wants us to have success in living for Him, there must be a list in the Bible of sins to avoid. When we look to the Bible, we certainly do find lists of sins, but we also discover that the lists never seem to end.
From the very beginning, God told man what was right and wrong. To Adam in the Garden, God said, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die” (Genesis 2:16-17). When the children of Israel came out of Egypt, God established His Law with them at Mount Sinai. The Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:1-17) were not the whole law, but a summary of all that God had to tell them. The entire books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy are devoted to revealing to the Israelites God’s laws. Jewish rabbis say that there are 613 laws in the Torah (Books of Moses). Of those, 365 are in the “thou shalt not…” category.
What are some examples of these sins? From the Ten Commandments we have false worship, idolatry, misusing God’s name, violating the Sabbath, dishonoring parents, murder, adultery, stealing, lying/libel, and coveting. In the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7), Jesus took some of these same sins to a new level. Regarding murder, Jesus said, “Anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment…. But anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell” (Matthew 5:22). Regarding adultery, Jesus said, “Anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart” (Matthew 5:28). In Galatians 5:19-21, we are told, “The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.” Just these brief lists will give most people plenty of things to work on for a lifetime. In addition to the various lists that can be found in Scripture, we are told in 1 John 5:17 that “all wrongdoing is sin.” Not only does the Bible tell us the things not to do, but in James 4:17, we are informed that anyone “who knows the good he ought to do and doesn’t do it, sins.”
When we try to compile a list of sins, we find ourselves buried under the guilt of our own failures because we discover that we have sinned far more than we realized. The Scriptures inform us, “All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: ‘Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law’” (Galatians 3:10). While that statement might seem self-defeating, it is actually the best news possible. Since we can never fully keep God’s Law, there must be another answer, and it is found a few verses later: “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: ‘Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.’ He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit” (Galatians 3:13-14). The Law of God, or the lists of sins that we find in the Bible, serve as a tutor to “lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith” (Galatians 3:24).
Bybel Lering vir die Dag
‘n Bybelse lys van sondes
Ons dink dikwels dat ons lewens vereenvoudig kan word as ons net ‘n kontrolelys het om te volg. Ons het inkopielyste, doenlyste, wenslyste en meer. Sekerlik, as God wil hê ons moet sukses hê om vir Hom te leef, moet daar ‘n lys in die Bybel wees van sondes om te vermy. Wanneer ons na die Bybel kyk, vind ons beslis lyste van sondes, maar ons ontdek ook dat die lyste nooit lyk of hulle eindig nie.
Van die begin af het God vir die mens gesê wat reg en verkeerd is. Vir Adam in die tuin het God gesê: “Jy is vry om van enige boom in die tuin te eet; maar jy mag nie eet van die boom van die kennis van goed en kwaad nie, want as jy daarvan eet, sal jy sekerlik sterwe” (Genesis 2:16-17). Toe die kinders van Israel uit Egipte gekom het, het God Sy Wet met hulle by die berg Sinai gevestig. Die Tien Gebooie (Eksodus 20:1-17) was nie die hele wet nie, maar ‘n opsomming van alles wat God vir hulle moes sê. Die hele boeke Levitikus en Deuteronomium is gewy aan die openbaarmaking van God se wette aan die Israeliete. Joodse rabbi’s sê dat daar 613 wette in die Tora (Boeke van Moses) is. Van hulle is 365 in die kategorie “jy mag nie…”.
Wat is ‘n paar voorbeelde van hierdie sondes? Uit die Tien Gebooie het ons valse aanbidding, afgodery, die misbruik van God se naam, die skending van die Sabbat, die ontering van ouers, moord, egbreuk, steel, lieg/laster en begeerte. In die Bergpredikasie (Matteus 5-7) het Jesus sommige van hierdie selfde sondes na ‘n nuwe vlak geneem. Aangaande moord het Jesus gesê: “Elkeen wat vir sy broer kwaad is, sal onderworpe wees aan die oordeel… Maar elkeen wat sê: ‘Jou dwaas!’, sal in gevaar wees vir die vuur van die hel” (Matteus 5:22). Aangaande egbreuk het Jesus gesê: “Elkeen wat na ‘n vrou met wellus kyk, het reeds in sy hart met haar egbreuk gepleeg” (Matteus 5:28). In Galasiërs 5:19-21 word ons meegedeel: “Die dade van die sondige natuur is algemeen bekend: seksuele immoraliteit, onreinheid, losbandigheid, afgodsdiens, towery, haat, tweedrag, jaloesie, woede-uitbarstings, tweedrag, partyskap, afguns, dronkenskap, orgies en dies meer. Ek waarsku julle, soos ek al voorheen gesê het, dat die wat so leef, die koninkryk van God nie sal beërwe nie.” Net hierdie kort lyste sal die meeste mense genoeg dinge gee om ‘n leeftyd aan te werk. Benewens die verskillende lyste wat in die Skrif gevind kan word, word ons in 1 Johannes 5:17 meegedeel dat “alle ongeregtigheid sonde is.” Nie net sê die Bybel vir ons die dinge wat ons nie moet doen nie, maar in Jakobus 4:17 word ons meegedeel dat enigiemand “wat weet wat goed is om te doen en dit nie doen nie, sondig.”
Wanneer ons probeer om ‘n lys van sondes saam te stel, bevind ons onsself begrawe onder die skuldgevoelens van ons eie mislukkings, want ons ontdek dat ons baie meer gesondig het as wat ons besef het. Die Skrif deel ons mee: “Almal wat op die nakoming van die wet staatmaak, is onder ‘n vloek, want daar is geskrywe: Vervloek is elkeen wat nie volhard in alles wat in die boek van die wet geskryf is nie’” (Galasiërs 3:10). Alhoewel daardie stelling dalk selfvernietigend mag lyk, is dit eintlik die beste nuus moontlik. Aangesien ons nooit God se Wet ten volle kan nakom nie, moet daar ‘n ander antwoord wees, en dit word ‘n paar verse later gevind: “Christus het ons losgekoop van die vloek van die wet deur vir ons ‘n vloek te word, want daar is geskrywe: Vervloek is elkeen wat aan ‘n paal hang. Hy het ons losgekoop sodat die seën wat aan Abraham gegee is, deur Christus Jesus na die heidene kan kom, sodat ons deur die geloof die belofte van die Gees kan ontvang” (Galasiërs 3:13-14). Die Wet van God, of die lyste van sondes wat ons in die Bybel vind, dien as ‘n tugmeester om ons “na Christus te lei, sodat ons uit die geloof geregverdig kan word” (Galasiërs 3:24).
Today’s Devotional
Being a Good Christian
Wouldn’t it be great if the Christian life had a check list? A recipe of sorts to provide instructions that we could follow to ensure we were being “good Christians”? Few things in life really work that way. In fact, even recipes followed exactly don’t always turn out. They fail to account for effects of the weather, slight differences in ingredients, variance in oven temperatures, or a number of other factors. And “good” is in the taste buds of the eater. So what does it take to be a good Christian?
Many will say that it means reading your Bible daily, praying at least twice a day, serving at church, tithing, supporting a missionary, evangelizing, and the like. These are all great activities for Christians, but they are not what the Christian life is all about.
A Christian is someone who has been made new in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17) and restored to relationship with God. The Christian life is about getting to know God, enjoying Him and bringing Him glory (Isaiah 43:7; 2 Corinthians 3:18; John 17:1–5, 22). It is true that when we know God certain actions will naturally result. Jesus said, “You are my friends if you do what I command” (John 15:14). But before that He said, “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. . . . Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. . . . This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete” (John 15:1–11). Obedience—living the “good Christian” life—flows from a loving relationship. And obedience helps us remain in God’s love and therefore experience His joy.
Being a “good Christian” is not about performing certain actions. It is about growing in love for Christ and allowing His Holy Spirit to transform our hearts and lives. Jesus is the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2), the recipe-writer and taste-tester for our lives. As we seek to know God and glorify Him, we also get to enjoy Him (Psalm 73:25—26). The good Christian knows God, enjoys God, and grows in grace.
Vandag se Bemoediging
Om ‘n Goeie Christen te wees
Sou dit nie wonderlik wees as die Christelike lewe ‘n kontrolelys gehad het nie? ‘n Soort resep om instruksies te gee wat ons kon volg om te verseker dat ons “goeie Christene” is? Min dinge in die lewe werk regtig so. Trouens, selfs resepte wat presies gevolg word, werk nie altyd uit nie. Hulle neem nie rekening met die gevolge van die weer, geringe verskille in bestanddele, variasie in oondtemperature of ‘n aantal ander faktore nie. En “goed” is in die smaakknoppies van die eter. So wat verg dit om ‘n goeie Christen te wees?
Baie sal sê dat dit beteken om daagliks jou Bybel te lees, ten minste twee keer per dag te bid, by die kerk te dien, tiendes te gee, ‘n sendeling te ondersteun, evangelisasie te doen, en dies meer. Dit is alles goeie aktiwiteite vir Christene, maar dit is nie waaroor die Christelike lewe gaan nie.
‘n Christen is iemand wat nuut gemaak is in Christus (2 Korintiërs 5:17) en herstel is in ‘n verhouding met God. Die Christelike lewe gaan daaroor om God te leer ken, Hom te geniet en Hom te verheerlik (Jesaja 43:7; 2 Korintiërs 3:18; Johannes 17:1–5, 22). Dit is waar dat wanneer ons God ken, sekere aksies natuurlik sal voortspruit. Jesus het gesê: “Julle is my vriende as julle doen wat ek beveel” (Johannes 15:14). Maar voor dit het Hy gesê: “Ek is die ware wingerdstok, en my Vader is die landbouer. . . . Bly in My, soos Ek ook in julle bly. Geen loot kan uit homself vrugte dra nie; dit moet in die wingerdstok bly. En julle kan ook nie vrugte dra as julle nie in My bly nie. . . . Dit is tot eer van my Vader dat julle veel vrugte dra deurdat julle my dissipels is. Soos die Vader My liefgehad het, so het Ek julle ook liefgehad. Bly nou in my liefde. As julle my gebooie bewaar, sal julle in my liefde bly, net soos Ek die gebooie van my Vader bewaar het en in sy liefde bly. Dit het Ek vir julle gesê, sodat my blydskap in julle kan wees en julle blydskap volkome kan wees” (Johannes 15:1–11). Gehoorsaamheid – om die “goeie Christelike” lewe te leef – vloei voort uit ‘n liefdevolle verhouding. En gehoorsaamheid help ons om in God se liefde te bly en daarom Sy vreugde te ervaar.
Om ‘n “goeie Christen” te wees, gaan nie daaroor om sekere aksies uit te voer nie. Dit gaan daaroor om in liefde vir Christus te groei en Sy Heilige Gees toe te laat om ons harte en lewens te verander. Jesus is die outeur en vervolmaker van ons geloof (Hebreërs 12:2), die resepskrywer en smaaktoetser vir ons lewens. Terwyl ons daarna streef om God te ken en Hom te verheerlik, geniet ons Hom ook (Psalm 73:25-26). Die goeie Christen ken God, geniet God en groei in genade.

Waar Kom Ek Vandaan ?
Iemand het my eendag iets gevra wat my diep laat dink het. Aangesien Adam en Eva blankes was, waarvandaan het swartmense dan gekom ? Ek het toe gesê dat ons nie weet watter kleur Adam en Eva was nie en vra toe waarom hy dink dat hulle wit moes wees. Hy sê toe dis wat hy altyd in die kerk se biblioteek, in die Bybelboeke en kinderboeke sien. Dit het my ontstel en my laat wonder of hy nou nie dink dat hy minderwaardig is en miskien nie eers deur God geskep is nie.
Alle mense is deur God geskep en daarom is almal gelyk waardig. Dis wat die apostel Paulus aan die inwoners van Atene gesê het: “God het uit een mens … al die nasies gemaak. Hy het hulle gemaak om oor die hele aarde te woon ( Hand 17:26 ). Darrel Bock skryf is sy kommentaar oor die boek handelinge dat ons almal uit een bloed is.
Hierdie stelling sou vir die mense van Atene baie moeilik wees om te aanvaar, want hulle het hulself as ń besondere mensegroep beskou wat barbarians genoem is. Maar, aangesien ons almal van Adam en Eva afstam, is geen ras of mensegroep minderwaardig en van minder belang as ander nie.
Ons staan almal in verwondering voor ons Here en Skepper wat aan almal lewe en asem gee ( Hand 17:25 ). Gelukwaardig voor God, kan ons Hom almal loof en prys.
Elke geskape lewe op aarde
Is ons God se handewerk.
Indien ons sy skepping eerbiedig,
Word ons in die geloof versterk.
God het elkeen van ons lief, so lief asof ons die enigste persoon op aarde is.
Where Do I Come From?
Someone asked me something that made me think deeply. Since Adam and Eve were white, where did black people come from? I said that we don’t know what color Adam and Eve were and asked why he thought they had to be white. He said that’s what he always saw in the church library, in Bibles and children’s books. It upset me and made me wonder if he didn’t think he was inferior and maybe not even created by God.
All people were created by God and therefore all are equally worthy. That is what the apostle Paul told the people of Athens: “God made from one man … every nation of men, to dwell on all the face of the earth” (Acts 17:26). Darrel Bock writes in his commentary on the book of Acts that we are all of one blood.
This statement would have been very difficult for the people of Athens to accept, because they considered themselves a special group of people called barbarians. However, since we all descended from Adam and Eve, no race or group of people is inferior and of less importance than others.
We all stand in awe before our Lord and Creator who gives to all life and breath (Acts 17:25). Blessed before God, we can all praise and glorify Him.
Every created life on earth
is our God’s handiwork.
If we respect his creation,
we are strengthened in faith.
God loves each of us, as if we were the only person on earth.

Signs of the Times
The Crypto Crash Was Just A Dress Rehearsal For What’s Coming Next
When everyone’s chasing the same thing, danger isn’t far behind. The markets have become a mirror of our herd instincts-moving not by wisdom or discernment, but by imitation. The latest crypto crash, triggered by Trump’s surprise tariff announcement on China, exposed just how fragile this crowd-following world really is.
