    "The Fruit of the Spirit should make life easy and peaceful. After all, if you have love, joy, peace, and patience,..."
    Nov 25 2024
    "The Fruit of the Spirit should make life easy and peaceful. After all, if you have love, joy, peace, and patience, shouldn’t everything just fall into place?"

    Yet, the real irony is that developing these qualities often comes through challenges, struggles, and waiting. But here’s a perspective to think about. In Galatians 5:22-23:

    “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” These qualities aren’t gifts given instantly; they’re fruits that grow, often slowly, as we face tough times. It’s through hardship that we learn true patience, and through trials that we find genuine peace and kindness.

    Take a moment today to nurture these fruits in your life, no matter how challenging it may be. Join “Holy Contradictions” for another surprising reflection tomorrow and grow in unexpected ways.

    We’re excited to announce that, following the incredible success of our previous season, we’ve launched the next one with another 100 Bible quotes. We understand that some may view irony as the devil’s plaything, but here, it’s a tool to ignite curiosity and deepen our understanding of God’s Word—much like Joseph's story in Genesis 50:20 reminds us of the bigger picture.

    That’s why we’re thrilled to present *"Holy Contradictions: ❤️ Love, 😡 Hate, ✝️ Faith, and 🙏 Forgiveness in the Bible,"* a podcast hosted by Samuel Hollingsworth.

  • "Atonement should be all about our hard work and effort to make up for our own mistakes, right?"

    "Atonement should be all about our hard work and effort to make up for our own mistakes, right?"
    Nov 24 2024
    "Atonement should be all about our hard work and effort to make up for our own mistakes, right?"

    Yet the Bible suggests we can’t earn it at all. In an unexpected twist, Scripture tells us that true atonement is not something we achieve by our actions, but something that is granted freely.
    In Romans 5:8, it says: “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” This verse reminds us that God’s love came to us first, even before we tried to make up for our faults. Instead of us earning forgiveness, Jesus' sacrifice makes it possible as a gift.

    Discover more of these twists in "Holy Contradictions" and get a daily moment of inspiration with less than a minute of your time—guiding you to see faith in new, surprising ways!

  • "True faith is popular and makes you well-liked. If you’re really doing what’s right, everyone will admire you for it."

    "True faith is popular and makes you well-liked. If you’re really doing what’s right, everyone will admire you for it."

    But Jesus says otherwise. Surprisingly, the Bible teaches that persecution isn’t a sign of failure but of blessing. In the Book of Matthew 5:10, Jesus says: “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” This verse tells us that standing for what’s right might lead to hardship, but God promises that these struggles will be honored in heaven.

    "Listening is easy—just wait your turn to talk."
    Nov 22 2024
    "Listening is easy—just wait your turn to talk."

    But the Bible offers us a different perspective in James 1:19: "My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry." This verse reminds us that real listening isn’t just about hearing words; it’s about opening our hearts and minds, keeping our focus on understanding rather than reacting.

    "Honesty is overrated—after all, a well-placed lie can keep everyone happy."
    Nov 21 2024
    "Honesty is overrated—after all, a well-placed lie can keep everyone happy."

    Yet, the Bible brings an uncomfortable perspective on truthfulness that might shake this easy logic.
    Psalm 120:2: "Save me, Lord, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues." This verse is a cry for rescue from lies and deception, reminding us that honesty is more than just a virtue—it’s a lifeline for a life of integrity and peace.

  • "Surround yourself with anyone you like—good or bad! After all, who you spend time with has no real impact on who you become."

    "Surround yourself with anyone you like—good or bad! After all, who you spend time with has no real impact on who you become."
    Nov 20 2024
    "Surround yourself with anyone you like—good or bad! After all, who you spend time with has no real impact on who you become."

    But according to Scripture, that’s far from the truth. In 1 Corinthians15:33, we reed: "Do not be deceived: 'Bad company corrupts good character.'" This verse warns us that our character is influenced by those around us. It’s a reminder that the people in our lives have real power over who we are becoming.

  • "The ideal community of believers should be strong, wise, and independent, needing no guidance or protection."

    "The ideal community of believers should be strong, wise, and independent, needing no guidance or protection."
    Nov 19 2024
    "The ideal community of believers should be strong, wise, and independent, needing no guidance or protection."

    Yet, Jesus paints a different picture, calling Himself the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for His sheep. As He says in the Gospel of John 10:11: "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep." This verse reminds us that even the strongest flocks need a shepherd's love and sacrifice. Our connection with Jesus isn't about perfect strength; it’s about humbly accepting His guidance and care, just as a flock depends on its shepherd for direction and safety.

  • "True devotion is best shown by wearing the finest clothes—after all, the more expensive, the closer to God, right?"

    "True devotion is best shown by wearing the finest clothes—after all, the more expensive, the closer to God, right?"
    Nov 18 2024
    "True devotion is best shown by wearing the finest clothes—after all, the more expensive, the closer to God, right?"

    Yet, the Bible offers a contrasting perspective on the purpose and value of clothing.
    1 Peter 3:3-4: “Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.” This verse reminds us that God treasures a beautiful spirit over costly clothing or appearances, encouraging us to focus on cultivating kindness and humility.
