  • "True forgiveness only happens when the other person apologizes. Until then, you’re justified in holding a grudge."

    "True forgiveness only happens when the other person apologizes. Until then, you’re justified in holding a grudge."

    "True forgiveness only happens when the other person apologizes. Until then, you’re justified in holding a grudge."

    But Scripture offers a different perspective on the nature of forgiveness. In the book of Mark 11:25, it says, "And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."

    This verse teaches us that forgiveness isn’t just a reaction; it’s a decision we make for our own peace and a clear heart. God invites us to forgive even when apologies may never come.

  • "In a world blessed with abundance, famine shouldn't exist.."

    "In a world blessed with abundance, famine shouldn't exist.."
    Oct 31 2024
    "In a world blessed with abundance, famine shouldn't exist—but it does, exposing the unsettling truth that our prosperity often forgets the hungry."

    Yet, the Bible reminds us of a haunting warning in the Book of Amos 8:11: “The days are coming,” declares the Sovereign Lord, “when I will send a famine through the land-not a famine of food or a thirst for water but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord.”
    This verse reveals that there are deeper hungers than those of our stomachs—hungers that only faith can satisfy.

    Join us on "Holy Contradictions" and let a daily dose of heavenly wisdom fill your heart faster than food can fill your stomach.

  • "Crucifixion is humanity's ultimate defeat—a public symbol of humiliation and death."

    "Crucifixion is humanity's ultimate defeat—a public symbol of humiliation and death."

    "Crucifixion is humanity's ultimate defeat—a public symbol of humiliation and death."

    Yet, it became the world's most profound victory, a source of hope and salvation for countless people.
    While the cross was intended as a brutal end, the Bible presents it as a new beginning.
    In the book of Colossians 2:15 it says: "And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross."
    This verse shows us that through the very act of crucifixion, Jesus stripped away evil’s power, turning an instrument of death into a declaration of victory over sin and darkness.

    Embrace the paradox! Follow Holy Contradictions for daily inspiration, reminding you that true power can emerge from apparent weakness.

  • "True wisdom is knowing that everyone should think and act just like us. Differences only complicate things."

    "True wisdom is knowing that everyone should think and act just like us. Differences only complicate things."
    Oct 29 2024
    "True wisdom is knowing that everyone should think and act just like us. Differences only complicate things."

    But the Bible suggests something quite different. Romans 14:1: “As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions.” This verse reminds us to welcome others with an open heart, even if they see things differently. It’s about finding unity without demanding everyone conform to our way of thinking.

    "True joy comes when our children follow their own paths and make their own rules."

    "True joy comes when our children follow their own paths and make their own rules."

    But the Bible shows a different perspective in 3 John 1:4: "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth." This verse reminds us that real joy comes from seeing those we care about live in truth and integrity, not in doing whatever they want.

  • We expect justice to always triumph in the end, but sometimes, it seems like justice is nowhere to be found—replaced by wickedness instead.

    "We expect justice to always triumph in the end, but sometimes, it seems like justice is nowhere to be found—replaced by wickedness instead."

    Could it be that human justice is flawed beyond repair? The Bible captures this uncomfortable truth, offering a sobering view of earthly justice. In Ecclesiastes 3:16 it says: "And I saw something else under the sun: In the place of judgment—wickedness was there, in the place of justice—wickedness was there."

    This verse reminds us that in a fallen world, human systems of justice are often corrupted. True justice may not always be found here, but God's justice remains perfect and eternal.

  • "In life, true success means getting everything we want—money, power, fame—without worrying about the cost, right?"

    "In life, true success means getting everything we want—money, power, fame—without worrying about the cost, right?"
    Oct 20 2024
    "In life, true success means getting everything we want—money, power, fame—without worrying about the cost, right?"

    But the Bible challenges that idea. Mark 8:36 asks: "For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?" This verse means that even if someone gets everything they want in life, like money or power, it won't be worth it if they lose their goodness and what makes them truly happy inside. It's saying that being a good person and doing the right things is more important than having a lot of stuff.

    "It’s often said that real wisdom comes from quick decisions and instant reactions."

    But the Bible presents a very different view in Proverbs 14:29: "Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly." This verse means that people who stay calm and don’t get angry quickly are wise and make good choices. But people who get angry too fast often make silly mistakes.
