Born Sinners

When Adam and Eve disobeyed God's command by eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the Garden of Eden, sin entered the world. From that moment on, humanity became marked by inherent sin. Every person born of man and woman carries this fallen nature, making us sinners from birth—regardless of our intentions, achievements, or religious status. This remains true even after we repent and choose to walk according to God's ways.

It’s easy to fall into the trap of comparison—thinking we are better or worse than others, more virtuous, more moral, wiser, or more flawed. But none of those measurements change one eternal truth: you and I are still sinners. We are human, and as long as we live in this world, we will make mistakes and fall short.

However, being born a sinner is not something we need to live in guilt about—just as we wouldn’t feel guilty for being born with physical limitations or tendencies. Our sinful nature is not a reason for shame but a call to awareness and humility. It’s about acknowledging both the good and the brokenness within us. Coming to peace with our sinful nature is not the end of the journey—it’s the beginning.

In fact, understanding our inherent weakness is what drives us to pursue spiritual growth. We are called to rise above what we were born into—not by our own strength, but by the grace of God. Life is a continual journey of learning, growing, sacrificing, and loving. We are meant to strive toward becoming the highest version of ourselves.

God wants us to be fully aware of our identity as sinners, but even more so, He wants us to embrace our divine identity—as His sons and daughters. We are royalty in His kingdom. We are meant to live not in defeat, but with confidence and purpose, walking daily in His will for our lives.

As Psalm 82:6 says, “I said, 'You are gods, and all of you are sons of the Most High.’”
This doesn’t mean we are divine ourselves, but rather that we are created with divine purpose—meant to reflect His glory and fulfill His will on earth.

God is called the King of kings not just because He rules above all, but because we are the kings and queens He has placed here with a purpose. Our role is to live out that identity with humility, strength, and vision.

What Really Killed Charlie Kirk

On September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University, a tragic event unfolded that shook the western world to its core. Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA and a vocal conservative leader, was addressing a crowd of young supporters when a bullet struck his neck. In an instant, chaos erupted, and Kirk was gone. President Trump labeled it a "political assassination," sparking widespread mourning and outrage. But just weeks prior, another heartbreaking loss occurred: Iryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee, was brutally stabbed on a Charlotte light rail by a repeat offender with 14 prior convictions—freed due to lenient "progressive" policies. Kirk's last X post fiercely politicized her death, blaming the system that allowed her killer to walk free. Today, we're not dwelling on the graphic videos still circulating on social media. Instead, let's confront the deeper question: What really killed Iryan Zarutska ? And what really kil...

7 books that changed my life

1. As a Man Thinketh This book explores the incredible power that thoughts possess. And it taught me to be aware and careful about what I think about, as the thoughts you and I consistently think about eventually expresses itself in our actions, which then translate into our character, circumstances, and our eventual life outcome. 2. Atomic Habits The core idea of this book is how small, consistent changes compound into incredible results over the long term. And how you and I don’t rise to the level of the goals we’ve set for ourselves, but fall to the level of the systems we have in our lives. This book helped me view habits with a much greater appreciation and as an area of focus in my life. The practical insights and tips in this book on how to develop the habits I want and eliminate the habits I don’t want have really encouraged me and helped me in my personal development. It taught me that "Success is the product of daily habits — not once-in-a-lifetime transformation." ...

God vs Money

We live in a world currently where for most people, money is God whether or not they like to admit it. Secularism and consumerism has grown to such a extent that the pursuit of wealth and material success has become the center of people's lives. Many for the sake of accumulating money have put aside their ethics and compromised their moral values, demonstrating their idolization of money.  Conversely, many no longer place much value in organized religion and spirituality . Some Church's have been vandalized and burnt down. Attendance has declined drastically, and religious institutions hold ever lesser sway over public discourse and personal beliefs. Mans struggle throughout ones life and history has been between whether one serves either God or money. This existential conflict encapsulates the fundamental question of where one's allegiance lies: with spiritual values or material pursuits. Choosing to serve God entails prioritizing principles of faith, morality, and compas...
