God doesn’t waste seasons. Even this one has a purpose. 🙏 Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NKJV) — “To everything there is a season…” Stay faithful where you are. ❤️🙏 If this helped you, share it.

@wendelltalks 1 Samuel 8:1-5

They say Most Christians haven’t read the Bible in months. Prove them wrong. Reply with the verse number you’re on right now. Have you opened your Bible this week?

God is working in ways you cannot yet see. 🙏 Romans 8:28 (NKJV) — “All things work together for good…” What is hidden now will be clear later. ❤️🙏 Share this if someone needs it today.

@TimBurt Amen!

@honeymoon250 Amen!

Christian’s, what do you say

The Bible Was Never Meant To Feel Disconnected. Most believers do not stop reading Scripture because they lack faith. They stop because they quietly feel lost inside it. Books feel disconnected. Passages feel confusing. And somewhere along the way, devotion becomes frustration. The FaithBindsUs Narrative-Redemptive Bible Study Methodology was created to change that. FatihBindsUs.com

I’ve finally decided to read the entire bible. So far, I’ve read Genesis and Exodus. I’m obviously really interested in reading the Gospels and New Testament. I’m debating skipping ahead to the Gospels. What do you recommend I do: Read the bible from front to back or skip ahead and read the Gospels (or entire New Testament) and then go back to the Old Testament.

A.L.I.V.E. — All Life Is Vindicated Eternally The Resurrection of Jesus Christ: Witnessed, Proclaimed, and Reigning Forever The resurrection is not a single verse. It is the centerpiece of Scripture’s testimony. The tomb is empty. The witnesses are many, and the apostles proclaim it boldly. And Christ is not only risen, but He is also alive forevermore. The tomb was not emptied by human hands, but by divine power. What once held death could not hold Life, and in that silence, eternity broke through. 🙏 Matthew 28:5–6 (NKJV) — “He is not here; for He is risen…” 🙏 Mark 16:5–6 (NKJV) — “He is risen! He is not here.” 🙏 Luke 24:5–6 (NKJV) — “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen!” 🙏 John 20:1–8 (NKJV) — The stone rolled away, the tomb was empty He did not rise as a memory or a message, but as the living Christ. Seen, heard, and touched, proving that the victory over death was not symbolic, but real.  🙏 Matthew 28:9–10 (NKJV) — Jesus meets the women 🙏 Luke 24:13–35 (NKJV) — Road to Emmaus 🙏 Luke 24:36–43 (NKJV) — “A spirit does not have flesh and bones…” 🙏 John 20:14–18 (NKJV) — Jesus appears to Mary Magdalene 🙏 John 20:19–29 (NKJV) — Jesus appears to the disciples (including Thomas) 🙏 John 21:1–14 (NKJV) — By the Sea of Galilee This was not a hidden hope but a witnessed reality. Seen by many, confirmed in truth, and established with undeniable proof that Christ is alive.  🙏 1 Corinthians 15:3–8 (NKJV) — Appeared to Cephas, the twelve, over 500, James, and Paul 🙏 Acts 1:3 (NKJV) — “Presented Himself alive… by many infallible proofs.” They did not whisper it in fear, but proclaimed it in power, what their eyes had seen, and their hands had touched; they declared without hesitation: death was broken, the grave undone, and Christ now lives forever. 🙏 Acts 2:23–24 (NKJV) — “God raised up… having loosed the pains of death.” 🙏 Acts 3:14–15 (NKJV) — “Whom God raised from the dead.” 🙏 Acts 4:33 (NKJV) — “Great power… testimony of the resurrection.” 🙏 Acts 10:39–41 (NKJV) — Witnesses who ate and drank with Him after He rose He did not rise only to be remembered—He rose to reign; alive forever, victorious over death, and ever-present to save, sustain, and intercede. 🙏 Romans 6:9 (NKJV) — “Christ, having been raised… dies no more.” 🙏 Romans 10:9 (NKJV) — Believe “God has raised Him from the dead.” 🙏 Hebrews 7:25 (NKJV) — “He always lives to make intercession.” 🙏 Revelation 1:17–18 (NKJV) — “I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore”

He is risen— And the silence of the grave has been shattered by the voice of life.  Death has lost its claim, the stone has yielded, and what was sealed in darkness now stands in eternal light. The dawn did not ask permission to break; it came, unstoppable, and with it, hope was no longer a promise, but a living, breathing victory.

History moves forward in quiet sorrow, unaware that it stands on the edge of its greatest turning. While hearts grieve and hope feels buried, the stone that will change everything is already trembling, and no one yet knows that life is about to rise.

The world held its breath in a silence it could not understand. Hope buried, promises unseen, yet beneath the weight of the grave, eternity was already stirring, and dawn was closer than anyone knew.

Salvation is received freely, but discipleship costs everything. We are not saved by what we do, but by what Christ has already done. Given as a gift of grace, received through faith, not earned or deserved. Yet once that gift is received, it begins to reshape our lives. Discipleship calls us to surrender our will, our priorities, our comforts, and even our sense of control. It is the daily decision to follow Him, to walk in obedience, and to trust His ways above our own. Salvation is the doorway freely opened to us; discipleship is the lifelong journey of walking through it, where we learn that gaining Christ is worth far more than anything we are asked to lay down.

You are not loved because you are worthy. You are made worthy because you are loved.

Before you ever reached for God, He was already reaching for you. Long before the first prayer formed on your lips or the first step of faith was taken, His grace was already in motion, drawing you, calling you, and preparing the way. What feels like your pursuit of Him is, in truth, a response to His love that came first—steady, patient, and unwavering. Even now, it is not your effort that sustains the relationship, but His faithful hand that continues to hold you and lead you forward.

He did not turn away when the cost became clear.  He stepped toward it.  Not with resistance, but with love, a love that saw every failure, every hidden sin, every broken place in us…and chose the cross anyway. The weight He carried was not His own, yet He bore it fully, without hesitation, without defense. In silence, in suffering, in surrender—He paid what we never could. And now, because He did, we are no longer defined by what we have done, but by what He has finished. Forgiven.  Restored.  Loved beyond understanding. So let our lives reflect that same love—not in words alone, but in how we see one another, how we forgive, how we carry each other gently.  Because the cross was not only the price of our freedom—it is now the measure of our love.
