When Isaac Watts wrote The Sovereignty of God, he wasn’t offering a polite nod to a theological concept; he was bowing in awe before a throne that rules over all things. His words echo Job 23:13, “But he is unchangeable, and who can turn him back? What he desires, that he does”, and Paul’s reminder…
Hymns are not quaint relics for hymn book collectors. They are theologies set to melody. R. Burnham’s “The Power of God” reads like a short catechism in praise: it names God, names our weakness, names the enemy, and points us to the victory we have in Christ. Let’s walk through it, sing a little, and…

Today, we’ll unpack the wife’s role in marriage…
Life as a teen can feel like trying to ride a roller coaster blindfolded; every twist and turn brings something new, and you never quite know where you’ll end up. Biblical counseling is like having a trusted seatbelt strapped on: it doesn’t stop the ride, but it helps you hang on and actually enjoy the…

We live in an age awash with empty compliments, from social media “likes” to the instant reassurance of affirmations that often ring hollow.
