Unshakable Confidence

August 13, 2026 By Eleace Eldridge-Smith Leave a Comment

In Romans 8:37, the Apostle Paul writes:  Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory through Him who loved us [so much that He died for us].  To understand what this verse means for Christians today, it helps to look closely at both the original context and its… Read More »

God’s Intimate Role as the Creator of Human Life

August 6, 2026 By Eleace Eldridge-Smith Leave a Comment

Psalm 139:13–16 is a poetic reflection on God’s intimate role as the Creator of human life, emphasizing that every individual is intentionally designed, deeply loved, and known by God before birth. Written by King David, these verses move from acknowledging God’s vast presence to celebrating His specific, hands-on craftsmanship in forming our bodies and establishing… Read More »

Having Faith When it Looks Hopeless

July 30, 2026 By Eleace Eldridge-Smith Leave a Comment

Having Faith When it Looks Hopeless    Hebrews 11:33 highlights individuals “who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions.” When we look at this verse in a modern context, “conquered kingdoms” doesn’t have to mean overthrowing a physical empire with an army. Instead, it can… Read More »

Solomon’s Prayer of Adoration

July 16, 2026 By Eleace Eldridge-Smith Leave a Comment

In 2 Chronicles 6:14–15, King Solomon stands before the newly built Temple, kneels before the entire assembly of Israel, spreads his hands toward heaven, and opens his great prayer of dedication. Rather than jumping straight into asking for blessings, Solomon begins with adoration. He focuses entirely on who God is and what He has already… Read More »

Grace

July 9, 2026 By Eleace Eldridge-Smith Leave a Comment

In the Bible, grace is most simply defined as unmerited favor—receiving a beautiful, life-changing gift from God that you did absolutely nothing to earn, buy, or deserve. ​While the concept ripples through the entire Bible, the New Testament writers frequently used the Greek word charis, which carries the idea of joy, pleasure, and a completely… Read More »

What is your Declaration

June 25, 2026 By Eleace Eldridge-Smith Leave a Comment

The Bible explicitly warns believers to be highly cautious of what apostates (those who have abandoned the faith) and false teachers say. The primary concern in Scripture is that their words are not just harmless opinions; they are described as deeply deceptive, persuasive, and capable of pulling others away from spiritual truth. Here are the… Read More »

Happy Juneteenth

June 18, 2026 By Eleace Eldridge-Smith Leave a Comment

Juneteenth—which marks June 19, 1865, when the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, finally learned they were free—has deep spiritual roots. In fact, early celebrations of the holiday in Black churches were often called Jubilee Day. The formerly enslaved people drew a direct parallel between their emancipation and two major celebrations of liberation found… Read More »
