Many years ago, I was in a really difficult place, asking God day after day, “Lord, what am I here for? What is my purpose?”
Then one day, Revelation 4:11 hit me: "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power; for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."
Everything was created for God’s pleasure — and so am I.
From that moment on, my life’s mission became clear: whatever I do, it’s to bring pleasure to God — not for recognition, not for reward, but to honor Him in all I do.
Your purpose isn’t about you. It’s about Him. Live to bring God pleasure, and everything else falls into place.
— Rick Renner
Big decisions are easier when your life is anchored in purpose.
When your life is guided by purpose, clarity can come naturally.
Decisions that once felt overwhelming can become simple because you’re measuring them against your calling, not just convenience or fear.
With the tragic murder of Charlie Kirk, many are still reeling in disbelief.
But for the Christian, death is not the end—it’s merely a change of address. From Earth to Heaven. From the temporal to the eternal.
Charlie had a strong and vibrant faith in Jesus Christ. And today, we can say with confidence: he is with the Lord.
The Bible tells us in Philippians 1:21, “To live is Christ, and to die is gain.”
One day, we’ll all step into eternity. The only question is: Where will we spend it? Heaven or hell. That choice is made in this life.
Thank God for the hope we have as believers—because at the cross, Jesus defeated sin. And at the empty tomb, He conquered death.
Death died when Christ rose.
If you haven’t yet put your faith in Jesus Christ, there’s no better time than now. Eternity is real. And so is the hope He offers.

Today is the day all over the world that Christians celebrate Palm Sunday, which commemorates the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. (Matt. 21:1-11)
At the end of the Old Testament, the prophet Zechariah (Zech. 9:9) had told God's people to expect their righteous and victorious King to enter the city humbly riding on a donkey. This sign would be another confirmation that Jesus was their Savior.
The crowds assembled with great joy that day and lined the street shouting, "Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord." (Ps. 118:25-26) As a gesture of joy and respect, many spread their cloaks on the road and others cut branches from the nearby palm trees and placed them on His path.
In Scripture, palm branches are a symbol of victory. (Rev. 7:9) At the time, the Jewish people wanted a savior to deliver a temporal victory over their Roman oppressors... but Jesus arrived to deliver a much greater victory--over sin and death--for all eternity!
Happy Palm Sunday!
Why Read The Bible In Hebrew?
So, remember how Joseph gets sold into slavery in Egypt and eventually rises to become Pharaoh's second-in-command?
Well...why doesn't Joseph ever write home to his father to tell him that he's alive?

Happy Easter! Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?" (John 11:25-26). #Easter#HeIsRisen
