Why is God described as God Most High? It’s not poetic exaggeration. It’s a theological declaration meant to steady our hearts, realign our vision, and remind us exactly who is in control. When Scripture speaks of God Most High—sometimes translated as LORD Most High—it is declaring that the God of Israel stands above every power,[…]
Question: What does it mean to “love my enemies?” How are we to love people who continually hurt us? Answer:Some of Jesus’ commands stop us in our tracks, and His call to “love your enemies” is one of them. In the Sermon on the Mount, He said, “You have heard… ‘Love your neighbor and hate[…]
Do you feel weighed down by despair, trapped in a cycle of defeat, or frustrated by a weakness that keeps resurfacing? Do you ever wonder why you stumble over the same hardship or sin time and time again? You’re not alone.

Shavuot is a two-day Jewish holiday that commemorates the moment God gave the Torah to the Hebrew people at Mount Sinai more than 3,000 years ago. It marks the culmination of the counting of the Omer—fifty days after Passover—and celebrates God’s covenantal revelation to Israel. At Sinai, God did not merely give laws; He revealed[…]
As Mother’s Day approaches, emotions rise—joy for some, grief for others, and deep reflection for all. For me, this time of year always stirs a tender mix of both celebration and sorrow.

Everyone has faced insecurity at some point in life. It’s one of those quiet struggles that looks different on everyone. In one person, insecurity hides behind shyness and self-doubt. In another, it masks itself as arrogance, boldness, or the need to always be right. Some avoid attention altogether, while others crave it desperately. Regardless of[…]
At His final Passover meal with His disciples, Jesus took bread and wine and said words that have echoed through the centuries: “Do this in remembrance of Me” (1 Corinthians 11:24). They ate. They drank. And the apostles later explained the weight of that moment: “For as often as you eat this bread and drink[…]
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?

“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[…]
