📌 Question of the Week — March 24, 2026

From: Sharon, 18 — Bear, Delaware

Question:
“Pastor James, I was saved two years ago while watching a youth service online. When the speaker asked if anyone felt alone and without purpose, I raised my hand in my room and prayed along. In that moment, I was born again! I’m still learning, but my question is: When life hurts, can I still trust God?”

Response:
Sharon, welcome to the family of God—the greatest family on earth! And thank you for asking a question so many carry but few voice.

Pain has a way of shaking us. When life breaks, when grief overwhelms, when nothing makes sense—trusting God can feel incredibly difficult. This isn’t just a theological question; it’s deeply personal.

Here is the truth: God never asked you to walk through pain alone. His Word is a lamp in your darkest moments. His Spirit is your comfort in chaos. And Jesus Christ is the ultimate proof that God understands suffering and still loves you completely.

Trust is not the absence of pain—it is choosing to place your pain in God’s hands even when you don’t understand. Life will hurt, but God is still good. He has a way of turning even our deepest wounds into testimonies of healing, redemption, and hope.

In Christ, you can trust again—even when it hurts.

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...

  ✝️ 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 ...

  🕊️ 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...
