Unplugged and Uncompromised

  4/8/26 Good morning, Friends,  Ecclesiastes 5:4-5 (NLT) - [4]When you make a promise to God, don’t delay in following through, for God takes no pleasure in fools. Keep all the promises you make to him. [5] It is better to say nothing than to make a promise and not keep it.  Friends, don't forget that God takes our words seriously . It’s better not to make a promise at all than to say something to God and not follow through. Keeping it 💯,  many of us have been there, we’ve told God in emotional moments, “If You fix this, I’ll change… I’ll do better… I’ll give more… I’ll serve more.” But once the situation improves, our urgency fades away quick, and those promises get pushed to the side. These verses calls us to slow down and examine our hearts. God isn’t impressed by big, passionate words spoken in the heat of the moment. He values truth, consistency, and integrity . He doesn't only listen to what we say, but watches how we live afterward. Our words to God should...

  4/6/26 Good morning, Beloved,  Acts 1:1-3 - The first account, O Theophilus, I composed, about all that Jesus began to do and teach, 2 until the day when He was taken up to heaven, after He had by the Holy Spirit given orders to the apostles whom He had chosen, 3 to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over forty days and speaking about the things concerning the kingdom of God. I know you probably heard preaching about the resurrection yesterday, but it's not a once a year reality, it's an everyday reality, so I'm going to spread more icing on the cake 🎂 today! 😎 In these opening verses, Luke reminds us of something foundational: the Christian faith is not built on feelings, opinions, or stories passed down like myths, nope, it is built on real events. Jesus lived, taught, suffered, died, and after His resurrection, He showed Himself alive with many convincing proofs. This means our faith is rooted in t...

 4/1/26 Good morning, Friends,  Proverbs 10:19 -  When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable, but he who restrains his lips is wise This verse cuts straight to something we all deal with,  our mouths . The more we talk, the more chances we give ourselves to say the wrong thing. Whether it’s speaking too quickly, saying more than needed, gossiping, venting in anger, or trying to prove a point, careless words many times lead to sin. This proverb isn’t saying talking is bad, it’s saying uncontrolled talking is dangerous . Wisdom shows up not just in what we say, but in what we choose not to say. From a deeper perspective, our words reveal what’s going on inside of us. When our hearts are restless, prideful, or frustrated, it usually comes out through our speech. But when God is shaping our hearts, one of the first signs is a growing ability to pause , think, and hold back. Restraining your lips isn’t weakness, it’s strength under control. It’s choosing pea...
