The giants within

“ Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.” — Proverbs 4:23 (NKJV) David stood boldly before Goliath, armed with nothing but a sling, a stone, and unshakable trust in God. The giant that terrified an entire army fell in moments because David’s heart was aligned with the Lord. Yet years later, the same David as a powerful king, fell not to a towering warrior but to a quiet, internal enemy: unrestrained desire. Bathsheba did not appear with armor or threats. The battle was not fought in a valley but in David’s heart. The man who conquered giants was conquered by what he never killed inside himself. Here is the truth: The enemies outside us are never as dangerous as the desires within us. Goliath mocked, roared, and strutted. Lust whispered. And it was the whisper David underestimated. Our greatest battles may not be the loud crises, the obvious obstacles, or the external opposition. Our real giants are the ungodly desires, habits, and thought patterns ...

Wait on God's promise

Image
  "For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry." — Habakkuk 2:3 (NKJV) "For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us." — 2 Corinthians 1:20 (NKJV) In seasons of waiting, when hope seems delayed and circumstances press hard against your faith, remember this: God's promises are never late. They operate on divine timing, not human impatience. The prophet Habakkuk stood in troubled times, crying out for justice, longing to see God move. The answer he received was both a promise and a call to patience: "Though it tarries, wait for it." God was teaching him, and us, that the gap between promise and fulfillment is not empty space. It is sacred ground where faith is refined and trust is deepened. You may be waiting for breakthrough, healing, provision, or restoration. The delay may tem...

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope

Image
  Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.” — Hebrews 10:23 (NKJV) There are moments in life when holding on feels harder than letting go. When the waiting seems endless, when prayers echo back in silence, and when promises spoken long ago feel distant and faint. Yet in these moments, the Spirit whispers a truth that has never failed: He who made the promise is faithful. The faithfulness of God is not measured by how quickly we see results, but by how surely He fulfills what He has spoken. God does not forget His word. Time may test it, but time cannot break it. When the writer of Hebrews says “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering,” it’s not a call to blind optimism; it’s a call to anchored trust. The storms may come, the night may be long, and tears may fall, but our faith must stay firm, not because our strength is enough, but because His promise cannot fail. Think of what this means personally: When yo...

No past is too dark for the love of Christ

Image
“Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.” – Isaiah 1:18 (NIV) There are moments in life when the weight of the past feels unbearable; when shame whispers that you’ve gone too far, failed too deeply, or fallen too often to ever be made whole again. But the truth of the Gospel is this: no past is too dark for the love of Christ. The story of the Bible is not about perfect people finding God, but about a perfect God finding broken people. The love of Christ doesn’t ignore your past; it redeems it. His blood doesn’t just cover your sin; it cleanses it. When you surrender your story to Him, He rewrites it with mercy. Every scar becomes a testimony. Every failure becomes a reminder of His forgiveness. Every dark chapter becomes a backdrop for His light to shine brighter. You may feel unworthy of that kind of love; but remember, Jesus specializes in restoration. He walks into the deepest prisons of guilt and unlocks the doors. He reaches into the lowest valleys and ...

Flaggan eller Korset? En teologisk och etisk reflektion om att vara kristen nationalist (del 2)

Image
  Flaggan eller korset? En teologisk och etisk reflektion om att vara kristen nationalist Del 2: Evangeliet, etiken och vägen framåt Kristen nationalism i ljuset av Jesu evangelium När nationalism och kristendom möts uppstår en avgörande teologisk fråga: Styrs tron av Kristus eller av flaggan? Jesus kallade aldrig sina lärjungar att etablera en jordisk teokrati. Han grundade inte en nation; Han grundade en församling. Hans mission var inte att bygga ett politiskt rike på jorden, utan att upprätta Guds rike i människors hjärtan. Han sade:  "Den som vill bli störst bland er ska vara de andras tjänare." (Matt 20:26) Detta är evangeliets hjärta: tjänande, inte härskande. Kärlek, inte makt. Korset, inte kronan/flaggan. Nationalism kan ha positiva effekter; den kan främja moral, kultur och patriotism. Men risken är alltid att den förvandlas till andligt avguderi. Aposteln Paulus varnade:  " "Allt är tillåtet, men allt är inte nyttigt. Allt är tillåtet, men allt by...

Flaggan eller Korset? En teologisk och etisk reflektion om att vara kristen nationalist (Del 1)

Image
Flaggan eller Korset? En teologisk och etisk reflektion om att vara kristen nationalist   Del 1: Historien, Bibeln och nationalism   En fråga för vår tid Frågan om kristen nationalism har under 2000-talet blivit ett av de mest omdiskuterade ämnena i den västerländska kyrkan. I takt med sekularisering, globalisering och politisk polarisering väcks tanken om att återföra nationer till sina ”kristna rötter”. Vissa betraktar detta som en nödvändig väckelse av moral och tro, medan andra ser en farlig glidning mot exkludering, maktmissbruk och främlingsfientlighet. Men hur förhåller sig Bibeln till nationalism? Kan man tala om en ”kristen nation” i Nya förbundets ljus, där medborgarskapet inte är etniskt utan andligt? Dessa är inga enkla frågor. De berör kärnan av vad det innebär att följa Kristus i en värld av flaggor, gränser och politiska strider. Låt oss utforska detta ämne genom historiens vittnesbörd och Bibelns ljus.   Vad me...

OPEN LETTER TO MINISTERS OF THE GOSPEL: A CALL TO RECONSIDER YOUR APPROACH TO THE DIASPORA

Image
OPEN LETTER TO MINISTERS OF THE GOSPEL: A CALL TO RECONSIDER YOUR APPROACH TO THE DIASPORA To all ministers, pastors, and leaders in the Body of Christ across the world, Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I write to you today not out of bitterness, but from a place of deep concern and holy burden. A trend has emerged in recent years that must be urgently addressed, for the sake of the Gospel, the unity of the Church, and the health of families within the body of Christ. We are witnessing an increasing number of ministers (many of them with established ministries) actively directing their focus towards Christians living in the diaspora. Online programs, teachings, prayer sessions, prophetic gatherings, and fundraising campaigns are being broadcast almost daily, often without any regard for the local realities and responsibilities of these believers. While there is nothing inherently wrong with using digital platforms to edify the saints globally, the motive and...
