Investing in God’s Word

In today’s world, investing in the stock market has become one of the most popular ways to build wealth. People study trends, diversify portfolios, and commit to consistent contributions with the expectation of long-term growth. Yet, while financial investing is valuable, there is a far greater investment that often goes overlooked: daily investing in God’s Word. When we compare these two forms of investment, we find that both require discipline, consistency, and faith—but their returns differ in scope and eternity. Stock market investing is rooted in principles like patience, strategy, and endurance. As an investor, I understand that wealth is Read More

Is Your Life an Offering?

There is a kind of faith that sits comfortably in the pew on Sunday mornings and never costs a thing. And then there is the faith the Bible actually calls us to — one that lays everything on the altar and holds nothing back. “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God — this is your true and proper worship.” –Romans 12:1 Paul’s word choice here is striking. Not a dead sacrifice — a living one. The animal placed on the Old Testament altar had Read More

God’s Divine Recipe: Trusting His Plan for Your Life

Anyone who enjoys cooking knows that a good meal usually begins with a great recipe. A recipe provides the ingredients, the measurements, and the instructions needed to create the final dish. Without it, the outcome can be unpredictable. In many ways, our lives operate the same way. Just as a recipe guides a cook, God has a divine recipe—a plan—for each of our lives. The Bible reminds us in Jeremiah 29:11: “For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” Like Read More

Divinely Contagious: How the Gospel Is Meant to Spread

Garnet Nowell — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 12:13:42 +0000

Did you know that Gospel was meant to be contagious? Jesus never intended the message of the Kingdom to remain contained. The gospel was designed to move, multiply, and spread from person to person—much like a powerful force that cannot be contained. In many ways, the imperative to share the Word of God operates like a virus with a divine purpose: it spreads through contact, transforms those it reaches, and continues multiplying through those who have been changed. Before Jesus ascended into heaven, He gave His followers a clear command: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations [help the Read More

Stop Looking Back: Life Lessons from Lot’s Wife

Garnet Nowell — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 04:52:00 +0000

There is something dangerous about nostalgia when God has called you forward. In Genesis 19:26, we read one of the shortest yet most sobering verses in Scripture: “But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.” Lot’s wife had been given a clear command—do not look back. God was delivering her family from destruction, yet her heart was still tethered to what she was leaving behind. Looking back was not just a physical act. It was a heart posture. Jesus later reinforced this principle in Luke 9:62: “No one who puts his hand to Read More

The Gift of Access: Positional Purpose

Garnet Nowell — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 13:09:09 +0000

One of the most powerful yet overlooked blessings in life is access. Access is more than opportunity — it is divine permission, spiritual positioning, and relational favor that places you where your effort alone could not take you. Access is a gift, and when God gives it, it changes everything. Throughout Scripture, we see that destiny often hinges on who is allowed in the room. Esther had access to the king (Esther 5:1–3). That access saved a nation. She was not the strongest person in Persia, but she had proximity to power. Her position became purpose when she stepped forward Read More
