The Bible says in Acts 20:24, “But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.” Did you catch that? Paul didn’t say[…]
Question: Dr. Tony, What is Palm Sunday? Answer:Palm Sunday is one of the most powerful and meaningful moments in the life of Jesus, and in the story of the Kingdom of God. It marks the day we celebrate His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, just one week before His resurrection (Matthew 21:1–11). But this wasn’t just[…]
Question: Why is it that I try to do everything right in honoring God, but I’m not seeing any reward, while those who turn away from the ways of God so often appear to prosper? Answer:We all have wrestled with this question, you are in good company. The psalmist Asaph struggled with the same tension[…]
“So He declared He would destroy them. But Moses, His chosen one, stepped between the LORD and the people. He begged Him to turn from His anger and not destroy them.” (Psalm 106:23) Have you ever felt a sudden, heavy burden to pray for someone, a weight in your spirit you couldn’t explain? Maybe a[…]
We’ve all heard the folklore of a genie in a bottle. You rub the bottle, and suddenly—poof—you get three wishes. And if we’re being honest, most of us would try to outsmart the system. “My first wish? A thousand more wishes!” Now before anyone gasps at the comparison, stay with me. I’m not comparing Jesus[…]
Question: I feel that I cannot observe a religion if I am not certain that it is true. Is there a proof that could give me a 100% certainty that God exists? Answer:That’s an honest and thoughtful question. And I respect it deeply. You’re not looking for blind faith, you’re looking for certainty. But let[…]
God tells us plainly, “Do not despise these small beginnings” (Zechariah 4:10). Yet if we’re honest, that’s often exactly what we do. When progress feels slow, when prayers seem unanswered, when momentum doesn’t match the vision God placed in our hearts, frustration creeps in. We begin to question the process, the timing, and sometimes even[…]
What happens when we can’t live up to people’s expectations of us? When those who once admired us begin to withdraw their approval, disappointment can flood our hearts like an unexpected storm. Their unmet expectations can weigh us down, leaving us struggling to stay afloat in a sea of frustration, guilt, and rejection. We start[…]
If you walk through ancient ruins, museum, or study archaeological discoveries in Israel, one symbol appears again and again: the menorah. But why? Long before the Star of David, the menorah stood as the defining symbol of the people of Israel. For centuries, historians have wondered why this image—seven branches of light—became so central. Scripture[…]
We live in a world that constantly tells us that position is what matters. Titles, platforms, recognition, influence, these are the things our culture celebrates. So without even realizing it, many of us begin pursuing a position instead of faithfully serving in the place God has created for us. We hustle for visibility, chase affirmation,[…]
A new year always brings a new opportunity—a fresh start to reevaluate what needs to stay and what needs to go. So let me ask you: what old things do you need to take out of your life this year? What new thoughts, habits, and disciplines do you need to embrace to become who God[…]
There’s nothing quite like the joyful chaos of Christmas morning. Wrapping paper flies, laughter fills the air, and little hands tear open boxes with wide-eyed excitement. They can’t wait to see what’s inside, and the real joy comes not just from receiving the gift, but from discovering and using what’s been given. But imagine how[…]
