According to Scripture : Where is Mary, The Mother of Jesus Christ?

The Bible does not explicitly state what happened to Mary, the mother of Jesus, after her earthly life.  Here’s what we can gather from Scripture:  1. Mary’s Life on Earth: Mary is mentioned in several key moments of Jesus’ life, including His birth, ministry, crucifixion, and resurrection. The last specific reference to Mary in Scripture is in Acts 1:14 , where she is present with the disciples in prayer after Jesus’ ascension.  2. No Explicit Mention of Her Death or Assumption: The New Testament does not record Mary’s death, burial, or her being taken into heaven. The Bible is silent on the specific details of her later life. 3. Theological Interpretations: In Catholic tradition, it is believed that Mary was assumed into heaven, body and soul, based on the doctrine of the Assumption. This is not explicitly found in Scripture but is based on Church tradition and theological reasoning. Protestant perspectives typically hold that Mary died a natural death like any other be...

How to Trust God When Everything Seems Impossible #FaithOverFear

Life is full of challenges, and sometimes, these challenges can feel insurmountable. We face situations where the odds are stacked against us, where solutions seem out of reach, and where despair starts to creep in. In these moments, trusting God can feel difficult, yet it is precisely during these times that our faith is most crucial. Here’s how to trust God even when everything seems impossible. 1. Remember God’s Faithfulness in the Past When facing seemingly impossible circumstances, it’s important to remember the times when God has come through for you in the past. Reflect on past situations where God’s guidance, provision, and love were evident in your life. The Bible is filled with stories of God’s faithfulness, such as when He parted the Red Sea for the Israelites ( Exodus 14:21-22 ) or when He provided manna in the wilderness ( Exodus 16:4 ). Remembering these instances strengthens our faith and helps us to trust that God will be faithful again. Scripture Reference: "The L...

What Marriage Means and How To Stay Married

📸 of Misty + Jay @UnityREEL by  @katiaforero        What Marriage Means and How to Stay Married  Marriage is a sacred covenant, a beautiful journey where two become one, united in love and faith. In today's world, it's easy to lose sight of the true meaning of marriage amidst the noise and distractions.  However, understanding God's design for marriage can help us navigate its challenges and find joy and fulfillment in our relationships.  Understanding Marriage Marriage is not just a social contract; it is a covenant before God. It symbolizes the union between Christ and His church, a relationship marked by sacrificial love, respect, and mutual submission.  Ephesians 5:25-28 says, "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemis...

Loving our Enemies

Loving our enemies is a challenging but essential aspect of the Christian faith.  Here are several reasons, backed by scripture, that explain why we should love our enemies:  1. Obedience to Jesus' Command  Jesus explicitly instructs us to love our enemies. In Matthew 5:44, He says, "But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." This commandment is a direct call to follow His example of unconditional love.  2. Reflecting God's Character God's love is impartial and universal. By loving our enemies, we reflect the nature of God, who loves all His creation. Matthew 5:45 says, "That you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous."  3. Transforming Hearts Loving our enemies has the power to transform hearts, including our own. Romans 12:20-21 states, "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to d...

7 Keys to Life: A Guide to Living a Fulfilled and God-Centered Life

Life can often seem complicated and overwhelming, but there are timeless principles that can guide us toward a more fulfilled and peaceful existence. Here are seven keys to life, rooted in biblical wisdom, that can help us navigate our daily challenges and build a life that honors God.  1. Put God First  The foundation of a meaningful life starts with prioritizing our relationship with God. When we put God first, everything else falls into place.  Scripture : "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." (Matthew 6:33 NIV)  Reflection : Begin each day with prayer and scripture reading, dedicating your actions and decisions to God.  2. Love One Another  Love is the greatest commandment and the essence of God's nature. We are called to love others as God loves us.  Scripture : "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." (John 13:34 NIV)  Re...

Walking in Love and Truth

Let's take a moment to reflect on the profound influence of our words and the people we associate with. Engaging in gossip and negative talk can drain our joy and disrupt our peace. Proverbs 18:21 says, "The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit." Therefore, it’s essential to be mindful of our speech and the company we keep. When we indulge in slander, we give the enemy a foothold in our lives, as Ephesians 4:27 warns, "And do not give the devil a foothold." Slander spreads like an infection, so we must diligently guard our hearts. At the same time, isolating ourselves from those who struggle with sin isn’t always the solution. Galatians 6:1 advises, "Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted." Instead of cutting them off, we should aim to be godly examples, extending love and compassion. W...
