There are few phrases more powerful—or more dangerous—than this:

“God told me.”

Because if that’s true, you don’t question it. You don’t test it. You don’t push back. You obey.

That’s why this matters. Not because God doesn’t speak, but because people are claiming He…

This is uncomfortable to say. But it needs to be said, especially in a culture where the word “Christian” has become incredibly broad.

Today, “Christian” can mean almost anything…

Let’s be honest for a second. Most Christians are not lacking access to Scripture. They’re drowning in content.

Devotionals. Podcasts. TikToks. Sermon clips. Quotes. Highlight reels of other people’s quiet time. And yet, for many believers, something is still missing. Not inspiration. Not motivation. Not information…

There’s a shift happening right now. A subtle one. But a powerful one. People are starting to label conviction as something negative. Something harmful. Something toxic. Something to avoid.

You’ll hear phrases like…

Most modern people assume that stories of demons belong to ancient times. After all, the Bible contains many accounts of demonic oppression and possession. In the Gospel of Mark and the other Gospels, Jesus repeatedly confronts evil spirits and frees those who are tormented.

Now the word feels almost forbidden. Too strong. Too negative. Too judgmental. Too outdated. Too likely to offend someone. So instead, sin gets renamed…

Walk into almost any bookstore and you’ll see entire shelves dedicated to self-improvement.

Books about habits.
Books about mindset.
Books about unlocking your potential.

And slowly, over time, that language has begun to shape how many people read the Bible. We open Scripture looking for life advice…

The words of Jesus were not poetic. They were a death sentence to the self.

There are certain phrases in Christianity that have become so familiar, they’ve gone soft in our hands.

“God is good.”
“Walk by faith.”
“Trust the Lord.”
“Pick up your cross.”

We say them. We print them on mugs. We drop them into captions. We use them so often that we can forget how violent they sounded when Jesus first said them.
