WHAT ARE YOU FEEDING THE NEXT GENERATION?

WHAT ARE YOU FEEDING THE NEXT GENERATION? PART 5: WHAT ARE YOU PASSING ON? Deuteronomy 6:6–7 (NLT) “And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up.” In Part 1, we asked: WHAT ARE YOU FEEDING YOURSELF? We discovered that what we consume matters. In Part 2, we asked: WHAT HAPPENS INSIDE YOU? We learned that what enters us must be processed. In Part 3, we asked: WHAT IS FLOWING OUT OF YOU? We learned that what is inside us eventually finds expression through our words, attitudes and actions. In Part 4, we asked: WHAT ARE YOU PRODUCING? We looked at the fruit of the Spirit and discovered that our lives should produce something that others can receive. Now we come to another important question: WHAT ARE YOU PASSING ON? Because life does not end with us. Something is al...

THE BLACK BOX: FINDING THE TRUTH AFTER THE CRASH . PART 7: THE CHAIN OF EVENTS: HOW ONE SMALL DECISION CAN SET A WHOLE DISASTER IN MOTION

THE BLACK BOX: FINDING THE TRUTH AFTER THE CRASH .
 PART 7: THE CHAIN OF EVENTS: HOW ONE SMALL DECISION CAN SET A WHOLE DISASTER IN MOTION


Galatians 6:7

"Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows."


Recap of Part 6:

We learned that the final 30 minutes before a crash reveal what’s already in our hearts. Preparation before pressure is what determines whether we break or stand when crisis hits.


In aviation, most crashes aren’t caused by a single catastrophic failure. They’re usually the result of a chain of small events — a missed warning light, a delayed decision, a tiny oversight, a casual compromise — that eventually add up to tragedy.


Life works the same way.


Spiritually, neglecting prayer for “just a few days” can lead to weeks of spiritual dryness, making you vulnerable when temptation comes.


Physically, ignoring small lifestyle changes — drinking more water, stretching, sleeping early — can slowly push you toward burnout or illness.


Emotionally, letting little resentments stack up can explode into an outburst that damages relationships.


Relationally, repeatedly postponing important conversations can turn minor misunderstandings into full-blown conflicts.




💡Life Lesson:

Big failures are often the fruit of small, ignored seeds. Guard your small decisions — they are the hinges on which great doors swing.




Reflection:

What small habits in your life are creating a chain toward health and life?

What small compromises might be creating a chain toward disaster?




💥 Call to Action:

Identify one “small thing” in your life this week that you’ve been ignoring — and change it before it grows.





💬 Let’s Talk:


Can you recall a time when a small choice led to an unexpectedly big outcome?


How do you catch small issues before they become big disasters?




🙏Prayer

Lord, open my eyes to the chain of events in my own life. Help me break the cycles that lead to destruction and strengthen the ones that lead to life, peace, and Your glory. Amen.

WHEN FOLLOWING JESUS COSTS EVERYTHING PART 7: WHAT IS YOUR “ONE THING”?

WHEN FOLLOWING JESUS COSTS EVERYTHING PART 7: WHAT IS YOUR “ONE THING”? Luke 18:22 (NIV) When Jesus Christ heard this, he said to him, “You still lack one thing…” In Part 6, we encountered the rich young ruler—a man who was disciplined, moral, and sincere, yet walked away from Jesus Christ because of one thing he could not surrender. He was close to Jesus—but not surrendered to Him. Opening Thought 🌅 Sometimes, the greatest barrier between you and your next level in God is not many things—it is just one thing. Not obvious. Not loud. But deeply rooted. Key Phrase “ You still lack one thing …” Insight 🔍 This statement is both simple and profound. It means: You can be doing many things right… and still miss one thing. You can be progressing… and still be held back. You can be committed… and still be divided. The rich young ruler didn’t lack discipline. He lacked surrender in one area. And that one thing became everything. Deeper Application 🔥 Your “ one thing ” may not be money—but ...

THE GREAT WALL: WHEN WALLS FAIL PART 2 — THE ENEMY AT THE GATE: STRONG WALLS, WEAK WATCHMEN

Image
THE GREAT WALL: WHEN WALLS FAIL PART 2 — THE ENEMY AT THE GATE: STRONG WALLS, WEAK WATCHMEN In Part 1, we saw that walls do not fail because they are weak; they fail when the gates are compromised. Even the mighty Great Wall of China, built with stones, sweat, and sacrifice, could not stop an enemy when its gatekeepers failed. True strength lies not in the wall itself, but in the vigilance and integrity of those who guard it. Now in Part 2, we explore how weak watchmen at the gate can undo even the strongest defenses. Every wall has two sides: the builders who raise it and the watchmen who guard it. A wall can be tall, thick, ancient, and mighty…but if the hearts of its watchmen grow tired, distracted, or compromised, the enemy does not need strength — just an opportunity. The Great Wall teaches us this: Strength is useless without vigilance. Protection is fragile without attention. A boundary is only as safe as the person standing at the gate. Let’s journey deeper. THE STORY — Part 2 ...

🐦THE TAILORBIRD AND THE WISDOM OF STARTING SMALL PART 1: USING WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR HANDS

🐦THE TAILORBIRD AND THE WISDOM OF STARTING SMALL PART 1: USING WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR HANDS Exodus 4:2  “What is that in your hand?” Luke 16:10  “He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much…” PERSONAL ENCOUNTER STORY Recently, I came across something that genuinely arrested my attention. I was scrolling through TikTok one evening when I saw a short clip about a small bird called the tailorbird. At first, I thought it was just another nature video—something interesting but ordinary. But as I kept watching, something unusual happened. This tiny bird was shown “ sewing ” leaves together to build its nest. At first, I doubted it. It looked almost staged. But curiosity pushed me further. I paused the video… watched it again… and then again. That moment didn’t just stay on TikTok—it followed me off the app. I found myself searching: “ Is this real? How does a bird sew leaves?” And that was the beginning of a deeper journey. The more I researched, the more I r...
