Even after Manasseh's conversion, the people around him didn't change. Our spiritual experiences don't automatically transform others. Be an inviting example rather than a pushy Christian!

Holiness – A Call to Credibility
Daily Devotions, A Call to Wholeness (Donald Shafer)

Is our faith over-simplified, or is it credible? Donald Shafer argues that a holy faith must be intellectually credible for it to be taken seriously.

Daily Devotions, Take Your Glory Lord

William Duma's life story is an amazing read! A South African Baptist pastor with a wonderful healing ministry, he was hugely impacted by his Uncle Vika who stood up for Jesus boldly, and spoke out against the traditional godless ways of his family. How much good would come if we stood up for Jesus more?

Daily Devotions, Encounters with the Risen Christ #1 - The Empty Grave

When encountering the risen Christ, the women were sent out by Jesus to go and tell the good news. Jesus turned the "come-see" Jewish faith into a "go-tell" Christian faith. Are we telling the good news? How the world needs to hear our testimony.

Who could benefit from your sharing your knowledge, your calling, and your experiences? Find ways to help others with what you've gone through, and God will surely honour that.
