✝️ You Were Not Called to Walk Alone

Every Christian needs a godly pastor they can sit under.
And yes — every pastor needs a pastor.

One of the quiet struggles within the body of Christ today is the rise of what I call the “lone ranger” believer.

“I don’t need another pastor telling me what to do.”
“I can talk to God for myself.”
“I don’t need spiritual covering.”

Let me say this carefully — and lovingly.

Be careful with that line of thinking.

Yes, you can talk to God for yourself.
Yes, you have access to Him through Jesus Christ.
But God never designed Christianity to be independent.

He designed it to be interconnected.

In Ephesians 4:11–15, God Himself established order:

He gave apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers
—for the equipping of the saints,
—for the work of ministry,
—for the edifying of the body of Christ,
—until we all grow into maturity.

That’s not man’s structure.
That’s God’s structure.

Isolation may feel strong, but it often breeds blind spots.
Accountability sharpens us.
Spiritual leadership protects us.
Healthy submission matures us.

Even pastors need counsel.
Even leaders need covering.
Even shepherds need shepherds.

The enemy loves isolated believers.
But God builds connected bodies.

You were not called to drift.
You were called to grow.

And growth happens best under sound teaching, biblical leadership, and mature spiritual counsel.

Not control.
Not manipulation.
But order.

God’s order.

If you’re walking alone spiritually, ask yourself —
Who is speaking into my life?
Who do I listen to when I’m wrong?
Who points me back to the Cross when I’m weak?

Christianity is not a solo journey.

It is a body.
And every part needs the other.

We Cannot Face Satan On Our Own Terms — Only Through the Cross As Believers, we must never make the mistake of thinking we can confront Satan in our own strength, even by imitating how Jesus faced him during His earthly ministry. Jesus met the enemy as the sinless Son of God—perfect in obedience, unmatched in holiness, and without the corruption of sin that taints our human nature. We are foolish to believe we can meet Satan on the same terms. We are not Christ—we are His followers. And our power does not come from ourselves, but from what He has already accomplished on our behalf. The only way of true escape from the enemy’s grip is not self-effort, religious works, or spiritual bravado. It is to look exclusively to the finished work of Jesus at the Cross —where the battle was decisively won, and where the enemy was eternally defeated. At the Cross, Christ became our Substitute . Through His perfect life and His willing, sacrificial death, He conquered the powers of darkness on all c...

  🕊️ Why Should You — or Shouldn’t You — Attend Church? I’ve spent most of my life surrounded by the rhythms of church life. From Sunday School and Vacation Bible School to revival meetings, baptisms, and Bible studies — I’ve seen the full spectrum of what it means to “go to church.” Church has been a regular part of my routine, my upbringing, and my community for as long as I can remember. But here’s the truth: It wasn’t until I surrendered my heart and life to Jesus Christ at the age of 14 that I truly understood the biblical reason for going to church. 🙋‍♂️ So Why Do We Go to Church? Some people go because they’re trying to check the box. Others go because they feel guilty if they don’t. Some just need a little spiritual boost to get through the week. But none of those are the right reasons. Yes, Hebrews 10:25 reminds us: “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the...

  ✝️ Christianity: Not Just Something You Do—It’s Who You Are There’s a dangerous misconception floating around today—that Christianity is a part-time hobby, a weekend ritual, or a list of dos and don'ts. But let me tell you from experience: Christianity is not something you do. It’s who you are. Or more accurately, it’s who you’re supposed to be. This month marks 53 years since I gave my life to Christ . I wasn’t looking for Him, but He was looking for me. And He used the most powerful vessel He could find— a praying great-grandmother , 63 years my senior, who refused to let hell have me. I didn’t understand God. I had no clue about heaven, hell, or the weight of eternity. But she knew . She saw past what I was into and spoke into who I was called to be. I’ll never forget the day she cornered me and said, point blank: “Boy, you are not going to hell! You will preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” It wasn’t a suggestion. It was a prophetic declaration fueled by relentless ...
