    We often equate strength with accumulation. But what if true strength lies in giving?​
    “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
    — Acts 20:35
    In a world that celebrates hoarding wealth and power, Jesus flips the script. He teaches that strength isn't about how much you can hold onto, but how much you're willing to let go. Generosity requires courage—it means trusting that giving won't leave you lacking. It's a bold act of faith, a testament to inner fortitude.​
    Today, flex your spiritual muscles. Volunteer, donate, or simply offer kindness. Discover the strength in selfless giving.

  • Seeking: The Hidden Cost of Generosity

    Seeking: The Hidden Cost of Generosity
    2025/05/03
    Seeking: The Hidden Cost of Generosity
    “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
    — Matthew 6:33
    Seeking God's kingdom isn't just about personal salvation; it's about embodying His love through acts of generosity. In a world that often values self-preservation, choosing to give—be it time, resources, or compassion—can seem counterintuitive. Yet, it's in this selfless seeking that we find true fulfillment. Generosity isn't a transaction; it's a transformation.​
    If you're seeking purpose, start by giving. Subscribe to 'Holy Contradictions' and let a one-minute spark each morning lead you toward deeper generosity and divine irony.

    Sacrifice: Selfless or Self-Serving?

  • What if the most powerful gift you could give… couldn’t be wrapped or bought?

    What if the most powerful gift you could give… couldn’t be wrapped or bought?
    2025/04/30
    What if the most powerful gift you could give… couldn’t be wrapped or bought?"
    But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness…”
    — Galatians 5:22
    The Spirit isn’t just something we feel—it’s how we live. When kindness and generosity grow in us, they become evidence of something greater at work. Spiritual generosity might look like giving time, offering prayer, forgiving someone, or lifting someone’s burden. It’s not always seen, but it’s always felt. And when we act from the Spirit, even small things echo with eternal meaning.
    Today, choose one Spirit led act of generosity. Give quietly. Love boldly. And let your kindness be proof of the Spirit moving through you.

  • We sing loud, but do we give louder?​

    We sing loud, but do we give louder?​
    “If I give all I possess to the poor... but do not have love, I gain nothing.”
    1 Corinthians 13:3
    Praise isn’t just about lifted hands and heartfelt songs; it’s about open hands and generous hearts. Scripture teaches that without love—expressed through tangible acts like giving and kindness—our praise is hollow. True worship transcends melodies; it manifests in mercy, generosity, and justice. So, if our voices rise in worship but our hands remain closed to those in need, are we truly praising?​
    Today, let your praise echo through acts of generosity. Volunteer your time, support a charity, or extend kindness to a neighbor. Let your worship be a living testimony of love in action.
    Faith debates, served hotter than your morning cup.

  • We often think sanctification is about personal piety. But what if it's more about how we treat others?​

    We often think sanctification is about personal piety. But what if it's more about how we treat others?​
    2025/04/28
    We often think sanctification is about personal piety. But what if it's more about how we treat others?​
    "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress..." – James 1:27
    Sanctification isn't just about avoiding sin; it's about embodying love. True holiness manifests in acts of kindness—feeding the hungry, comforting the lonely, and standing up for the marginalized. It's not just faith in action; it's faith made complete through action.​
    Let your faith be more than belief—let it bless. Subscribe to 'Holy Contradictions' and discover daily doses of spiritual growth through generosity, faster than your coffee can brew.
