A Vision of Growth, Discipline, and Transformation Spiritual formation, rightly understood, is not the self-directed improvement of the religious individual, nor is it the accumulation of spiritual experiences or disciplines. Spiritual formation is the lifelong work of God by His Spirit, through His Word, conforming believers into the image of Jesus Christ. Scripture frames this clearly: “For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son.”

Lucifer’s Pride, Humanity’s Fall, and the Only Victory Over Self-Exaltation Scripture does not give us a detailed narrative of a literal military campaign in heaven as later imagination has sometimes supplied. Yet the Bible does reveal a real and catastrophic rebellion among created spiritual beings—a rebellion that culminated in judgment, expulsion, and the ongoing enmity between the kingdom of darkness and the kingdom of God.

In covenant theology, “Israel” also finds its fulfillment in Christ and His people, the church (spiritual Israel). Unless we carefully differentiate these, we risk confusion—supporting

The transformation of nations begins with a proper understanding of what it means to be human. If we misunderstand humanity, we will mishandle society. If we reduce human beings to mere biological accidents or spiritual escapees waiting for heaven, we will never take seriously the cultural and societal implications of the gospel. But Scripture tells a different story. From the very beginning, human beings are not an afterthought—they are the centerpiece of God’s plan for stew

Every home has a culture—a prevailing atmosphere shaped by its values, language, patterns, and priorities. Some homes are filled with chaos and confusion. Others are cold and disconnected. But a Kingdom home—a home governed by a biblical worldview—is marked by three powerful pillars: honor, discipline, and covenant. These are not just parenting techniques or household rules—they are spiritual foundations that reflect the character of God and His Kingdom ways. When a family is
