Living the Apostolic Way Together

By Dr. David K. Ewen Community Matters First, Living the Apostolic Way Together shows us that community is a core Christian value. The apostles lived closely, supported each other, and worked in unity. In Acts 2:44-45 (NKJV), it says, “Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need.” Therefore, true Christian community means sharing with others so no one is left in...

God’s Design for Harmony God in His wisdom teaches that Love Respect Peace Build Strong Homes. His design for men and women reflects this truth. Therefore, He made them like two musical instruments tuned to create harmony, not to compete for the solo. As a result, their union produces beauty when they play together in God’s rhythm.

Faith Grows Through God’s Word

Last updated on: July 5, 2025 at 8:52 am By Dr. David K. Ewen

Faith grows through God’s Word as we read the Bible and talk to the Lord in prayer. First, Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV) says, “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword…” This verse means that the Bible speaks to the deepest parts of our hearts. It helps us understand our thoughts and actions. For example, when we feel confused, the Bible helps us see clearly. People in Israel read these same words with great... Read more

Faith Makes Freedom Truly Matter

Is it true that faith makes freedom truly matter? Every year on the Fourth of July, Americans celebrate with fireworks, parades, and backyard cookouts. But for Christians, this day means more than national pride. It reminds us that faith makes freedom truly matter. We believe freedom is not only a right but a gift from God. The Bible says, “Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty” (2 Corinthians 3:17, NKJV).... Read more

Pray with Love and Speak Truth to Seek Peace

The United States has supported Israel for many years. In this moment of confusion and conflict, believers must pray with love and speak truth to seek peace. Many Christians back this alliance using Genesis 12:3, which promises blessing to Israel’s supporters. Recently, U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear sites made headlines during Trump’s leadership. Pentagon reports say these strikes delayed but did not stop Iran’s nuclear program. Because of this, Christians should reflect on the effectiveness and morality of military action.... Read more

Know that God’s promise stills stands today. The Israel-Iran conflict affects millions, especially Christians who study prophecy. They ask how to respond with faith, peace, justice, Israel, Iran in mind. The Bible teaches in Genesis 12:3 (NKJV), “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you.” God gave this promise to Abraham. Many believe this still applies to Israel today. Christians who supported Trump’s Israel policies saw them as biblical fulfillment. Still, others stressed... Read more

Tensions Rise in the Middle East Right now, Israel and Iran face rising conflict and fear. In June 2025, Israel launched “Operation Rising Lion” against Iran. Israeli jets struck nuclear and military sites across Iran. In response, Iran launched drones and missiles at Israeli cities. Both sides suffered heavy losses, including top officials and scientists. As tensions grow, many ask what it means. Interestingly, the Bible mentions Persia—modern-day Iran—in prophecy. Ezekiel 38:5 (NKJV) says, “Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are... Read more

Prayer Is Our First Response The ongoing Israel-Iran conflict causes fear, pain, and confusion across the region. However, Christians should not react with despair. Instead, we must turn to prayer and trust in God. Jesus taught, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God” (Matthew 5:9, NKJV). God honors those who work for peace, even during war. Christians from many nations, including Israel and Iran, are uniting in prayer. For instance, churches organize online prayer events...

Every father leaves a mark, but faithful fathers leave a legacy that lasts. A father’s legacy starts with God. Know that God shows us the best example of fatherhood. He cares for the weak, the hurting, and the lonely. Psalm 68:5 says, “A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in His holy habitation.” This verse highlights God’s care and His call to social justice. When fathers follow His lead, they build homes of peace. These godly... Read more
