    Eagle Saints

    In this blog, I explore the spiritual concept of focusing on the Lord, inspired by Isaiah 40:31, to rise above life's challenges like eagles.

    The Wisdom of Fire

    In this blog, I discuss the biblical metaphor of "fire" to represent God's presence and judgment.

Through examples like the flaming sword in Eden and God as fire in the wilderness, I highlight how fire signifies divine guidance and purification. I emphasize that enduring these "fiery" trials prepares us to enter God's kingdom, purified and renewed.
