In Malachi 3:2-3, we see a vivid image of God as a refiner’s fire. It paints this picture of God purifying His people in the same way precious metals are purified. This metaphor conveys both the intensity and purpose of God’s refining work in our lives. Just as a refiner carefully heats metal to removeContinue reading “Refiner’s Fire”

This past week, we had the wonderful opportunity to celebrate Easter and the resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ.

Unfortunately, many of us haveContinue reading “Living in the Now”

Today is what the church refers to as Good Friday: a day to remember what Jesus did for us on the cross; a time for us to reflect on the profound depth of God’s love demonstrated through Jesus’ sacrifice.
