Quiet Fire Devotional | When the Devil Makes You an Offer
This is the real temptation—not a horned figure with a pitchfork, but the seductive voice that promises heaven while pulling you from it. As with Jesus on the mountain, Satan’s offers are always tailored. Custom-fit to your longings. But they are never free.

Quiet Fire Devotional | Trust without Footprints Is Hollow
Trust is not an abstract sentiment; it has weight, movement, and visible evidence. You say you trust the Lord, but do your actions declare the same truth? Do your footprints lead toward eternal faithfulness, or do they linger hesitantly around earthly securities?

Quiet Fire Devotional | Living on the Verge: The Persecuted Mindset
In some workplaces—and in certain corners of the world—faith in Christ may carry a high price. Perhaps you understand this viscerally: rising each morning under the hovering threat that today might be the day you’re let go, singled out, or quietly cut off because you follow Jesus.

Quiet Fire Devotional | Living Altars: Worship Beyond Words
The ancient air around the temple hung thick with smoke from sacrifices, each flame silently testifying that devotion comes at a cost. The altars stood as visible reminders of surrender, purity, and worship—altars that called for total sacrifice.

Quiet Fire Devotional | The Silence of God: When He Feels Distant

The Gospel | Die and Rise
The Problem: A World Broken from Within
We live in a world that is not merely fractured externally — it is broken from the inside out.
Sin is not just what we do; it’s the condition we face once the innocence of childhood is lost. A spiritual death passed down since Eden. We are estranged from our Maker — dulled by darkness, enslaved to self, and blind to glory.

Quiet Fire Devotional | Embracing the Gift of Vulnerability
Vulnerability is more than an invitation—it's the pathway to intimacy with God. Like delicate pottery that holds something precious yet remains fragile and exposed, our hearts find their truest strength precisely at the moment we admit our weakness. This paradox isn’t accidental; it’s the divine design.

Quiet Fire Devotional | The Call vs. The World :Sacrifice
There is a tension every believer must face, a line drawn not in sand but in Spirit: the call of Christ versus the cry of the world. Both speak, both pull, both promise purpose. But only one leads to life.

Quiet Fire Devotional - Honor the Sacred Gift of Agency
Even in early morning calm, a settling of quietness invites us to realize that we stand before God with open hearts and the freedom to make choices. Scripture consistently highlights this truth: we have been given agency, a remarkable endowment by which we discern and decide.

Picture a remote canyon with crumbling cliffs and brambles that catch your garments at every turn. In such a wilderness, David was constantly on the move, evading the relentless pursuit of King Saul.
