Faithful Writers

Cherry-picking Scripture isn’t new, but the modern church has gotten bold about it. Verses are yanked out of context, elevated into doctrines, and built into entire belief systems. Anything that challenges those fragments gets dismissed as outdated, misunderstood, or 'not for today.

Seeking the kingdom first isn’t about trying harder or worrying less. It’s about deciding what actually sits at the center of your life, and refusing to let fear, money, or survival take the throne.

For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.

Baptism is beautiful, but is it required for heaven? Some say yes—but Scripture paints a very different picture. Grace was never earned through water; it was given through the cross.

Faith aimed at the afterlife often distracts us from the Kingdom Jesus said is already among us—and from loving our neighbors here and now.

Many objections to Christianity sound smart, but most fall apart under closer examination. This article explores common questions about suffering, Bible contradictions, and science, helping you separate genuine challenges from misunderstandings.

You weren’t too dumb to understand — they were too proud to explain. The church that shamed your questions wasn’t protecting God’s truth. It was protecting its weakness.

Since so many like to cherry-pick their form of Christianity these days to believe in, let's reconcile this. They hate the God of the Old Testament (God of Wrath) and choose to follow the God of the New Testament (God of Love).

When your strength feels like the last drop of oil in the widow’s jar, God can still work miracles. This devotional explores trusting Him with what is left and finding grace in surrender.

The church has discredited itself so many times it’s insane—cliques, judgement, scandals, doctrine elevated above Scripture, and traditions treated as salvation. This is why I choose to stand apart and follow Christ rather than a system built by men.

I was discussing a prevalent view among the church and held by many Christians: the belief that a spouse can’t leave and divorce an unrepentant and abusive spouse. They got it all wrong, and I’m here to help.

If church feels empty, prayer feels flat, and worship feels hollow, you’re not alone. Spiritual dryness isn’t evidence of God’s displeasure — it’s an invitation to trust Him more deeply.

Faith has quietly turned into content creation. We now curate holiness the same way people curate vacations and skincare routines. But the sacred never depended on a camera, a caption, or a hashtag.

Calling them Old and New Testaments misleads readers. The 1st and 2nd Testaments keep God’s story continuous, showing that every part of Scripture matters.

The church isn’t here to make you feel seen — it’s here to make you more like Jesus. If you're expecting constant affirmation, you're confusing discipleship with validation.

Church hurt is real and heartbreaking. Our churches should be the safest place for believers and non-believers alike, but the unfortunate reality is that many times, church is where some of the deepest wounds are inflicted.

Chapters and verses were added to the Bible to help with study, not to create isolated “fortune-cookie quotes.” Yet cherry-picking Scripture has become common, twisting God’s Word to fit opinions and agendas. Here’s why the Bible must be read as one complete message.

I grew up always knowing there were the dos and don’ts in the Christian faith, regardless of denomination; well, that’s gone out the window quite spectacularly lately, and what hit me over the last few days is this:

When churches fall like dominoes, it's no accident. The Domino Church explores how false teaching, mob mentality, and weak leadership are creating a chain reaction of spiritual decline — just as Scripture warned in 2 Timothy 4:3.

When I finally slowed down to read whole sections — sometimes whole books at a time — it hit me: this is a story. A messy, winding, human story about people trying to follow God.

If you leave, don’t get comfortable not seeking, don’t get comfortable being angry at your church, and don’t get comfortable slipping away from God. That is on you to seek His direction, that is on you to surrender the hurt you experienced to God, that is all on you, your free will in action. That is on you to seek His direction, that is on you to surrender the hurt you experienced to God, that is all on you, your free will in action.

I discovered, slowly and a bit painfully, that in some ways — many ways actually — the church can prevent you from growing. Not because everyone in it is bad, or because God has abandoned the place…but because institutions have a way of drifting from their first love.

“Sometimes it’s almost impossible for us to comprehend (or even believe) that there is such a thing as unconditional love, automatic worth, and forgiveness for everyone.”

Your past can’t disqualify you—God’s forgiveness and redemption renew you to serve, encourage, and walk in His calling
