Jesus said, “Very truly I tell you, I am the door for the sheep.” (John 10:7) What does a door do? A door separates. It keeps something in — or keeps something out. It protects. It permits. It defines boundaries. As free people, we often want to go

JOY Is joy the same as happiness?

And when I am happy, does it mean I have joy? Scripture speaks of a deeper joy: “The joy in the God of my salvation.” T

If you are new to American culture, you might notice people sometimes say “Jesus!” when they are shocked. Why “Jesus” and not another religious figure? Maybe it’s because people here are more familiar with Him, or they don’t feel it is offensive to

This moment feels especially striking when I think back to our earlier reading in Mark 10. Jesus said,

All of us—both in body and in soul. Each day, we face a choice.

Edify To edify a person does not always require many words.
 Sometimes, simply being present—giving space and allowing room for growth—is enough. As we grow up under our parents’ care, many of us hear a lot of “no.”
 Some of those moments come from
Who doesn’t need affirmation in what they are doing? Affirmation helps us know we are moving in the right direction. We all need some form of confirmation—some sign or reward—to understand whether our efforts matter. It is like tightening a nut: you
Sometimes I find joy in reading the Bible simply by discovering new English phrases—like “put off the old man.” As an immigrant from a Chinese background, every unfamiliar English expression catches my attention. At first, this phrase sounds funny.
Being chosen is not a decision we make.
It is a decision made by the Giver. The reason we are chosen is not based on us,
but on the heart of the One who chooses. If love is the reason I am chosen,
how should I respond to it? True, fatherly love is so

In the past few years, 2023-2025, it has not been easy to live without the identity of a full-time employee. The struggle remains—asking what new jobs should I take, where to move, and what the next chapter of my career should be. I read books like

We all have a name — whether we like it or not. But have we ever paused to ask why? Names are rarely accidental. Someone chose them for a reason, sometimes with deep meaning, sometimes without knowing how that meaning would unfold. Take the example
