I'm not special.

In Joshua 1:16–17 and Numbers 14:15-16, Israel’s story reminds us that our hope rests not in flawless obedience, but in God’s steadfast mercy. He is faithful to His word, and every promise He makes is held by grace. #Bible

In Joshua 1:9, God calls His people to courage—not because life is easy, but because His presence goes with them. We honor God with reverence, yet walk forward with steady hearts, held by His faithful love.

In Joshua 1:1-2, God calls Joshua to rise and move forward. He reveals Himself to us as well. His Word gives us the path for faithful living, and His Spirit gently shows the next step. We may not see the whole journey, but we can walk ahead with steady trust.

In Revelation 10 and Psalm 29:3–9, the thunder reminds us that the Lord’s voice is not distant, but full of glory, strength, and holy wonder. He rules over all the earth—and every heart is invited to honor Him.

Revelation 7–9 reminds us that even amid terrifying judgment, God sees His people and remains in control. These chapters stir both holy awe and a longing to stay close to the One who holds our future with mercy and truth.

When life feels bigger than you, let God’s Word steady your heart. Joshua 1:6–8 reminds us that true strength and courage grow as we stay rooted in Scripture, letting it shape our steps each day.

When Hezekiah turned to the Lord in tears, God answered with mercy and a sign of His faithfulness. Isaiah 38:2–8 reminds us that even in weakness, we are seen, heard, and held by the One who gives life.

Whether the account of the rich man and poor man in Luke 16 is a parable or history, its message reaches the heart: God is lovingly warning us today. This life is our opportunity to hear Him, trust Him, and respond while His grace is extended. It is the same for our loved ones.

[Thor Carden @CardenThor]

When questions about eternity and loved ones feel heavy, I rest in this promise: God will wipe away every tear. In His perfect goodness, sorrow will give way to peace, and we will know He has done what is right. (Luke 16:27-28, Rev 21:4)

The illegal trials of Jesus found in the Gospels show that Jesus was innocent and that the authorities knew He was innocent even after extensive investigation. If He were guilty of anything, His death would have been for His own sins, and we would have no way to avoid Hell.

[Thor Carden @CardenThor]

The meaning of Luke 16:31 with context: God is fair: people before Jesus still had God’s truth through Moses and the Prophets. If someone rejects the light they’ve been given, even greater proof won’t convince them. The issue is the heart, not a lack of evidence.

Luke 16:22 shows Lazarus carried by angels to Abraham’s side, which was a first-century Jewish image of comfort, honor, and rest for the righteous, or in other words, Heaven. The point is that Lazarus was received into blessedness with God, not abandoned in death.

[Thor Carden @CardenThor]

Luke 16:19-31 reminds us that the gravest danger is a heart untouched by God’s love. The rich man’s warning to his five brothers still speaks: repent, love your neighbor, and don��t miss the mercy right in front of you. Lord, make our hearts tender and awake.

[Thor Carden @CardenThor]

Jesus’ parable of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16:19-31 reminds us that our time to share the gospel is short. May we live a faithful testimony and pray earnestly for loved ones who do not yet know Him.

[Thor Carden @CardenThor]

A faith-based plan from Jude 1:17–23: expect opposition and spiritual immaturity, grow patiently in faith through prayer, remember God’s love and eternal hope, and show mercy with discernment while guarding against temptation.

[Thor Carden @CardenThor]

Half-full or half-empty? Depends on activity.

1 John 5:16–17 describes not two categories of sinful acts, but two directions of a person’s life: someone moving toward God should be prayed for to grow; someone spiraling away may need consequences that lead them to repentance.

[Thor Carden @CardenThor]

Luke 12:37 Blessed are those servants whom the Master finds awake when He comes. Truly, I say to you, He will dress Himself for service and have them recline at table, and He will come and serve them.

Jesus will wait tables at His Own marriage feast. Our Lord and our example.

Skeptic Attack: How could a loving god condemn anyone to Hell?

Christian: We are eternal beings. What is to be done with people who will exist forever but refuse to behave themselves?

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance."

[Thor Carden @CardenThor]

Atheist Attack: "The Bible says snakes fly. See Isaiah 14:29. You do know this is false, don’t you?"

Christian: "I'm looking at Isaiah 14:29 and all I find is 'a darting, venomous serpent'. What are you talking about?"

1 Peter 3:15 "… always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you …"

Any adult human being should be able to give reasons for what they believe, whatever it is. Sadly, many cannot."
