Day By Day was chosen as our name for several reasons, the most important of which is its meaning. The words "Day by Day" entail what we believe in and what we aim to accomplish. That is, as we are fed by the Word of God and as we allow ourselves to be disciples of Christ, we renew our faith with God and we are changed through God's grace from glory to glory day by day.

The authenticity and reliability of Scripture become increasingly compelling as we see the conditions Jesus described concerning His return mirroring the days of Noah. Jesus warned, “For as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man” (Matthew 24:37).

In Noah’s generation, people continued living as they pleased—eating, drinking, marrying, building, and pursuing their own desires—as though judgment would never come. They ignored the warning until the flood came.

Does this sound familiar?

Today, many live as though there is no coming judgment and no accountability before a holy God. Truth is increasingly exchanged for personal preference, and obedience to God is often replaced by the desire to be accepted by the culture.

Yet even in these difficult and dark times, God’s warning is also an expression of His love and mercy. What some see only as troubling signs of the times, believers should recognize as a clarion call from God—an opportunity for sinners to turn back to Him with repentant hearts and experience the richness of His abounding grace and love (Hosea 5:15; Heb. 12:5-6).

We must also be discerning about teachings that claim to represent Christianity while watering down the truth of Scripture. A Christianity that reshapes Jesus to fit our preferences is not the Jesus revealed in the Word of God. Jesus receives sinners with compassion, but He also calls them to repent, follow Him, and be transformed.

The tragedy of Adam and Eve reminds us that disobedience does not become acceptable simply because humanity changes its standards. Sin still separates us from God, and judgment remains certain. But praise God—His mercy provides a way back.

The Gospel is not merely, “Come as you are and remain as you are.” It is the gracious invitation of God: “Come to Me, repent, believe, and be made new.”

The question is not whether we are living in difficult times. The question is:

Are we ready to meet the returning King?

Let us not harden our hearts like the generation of Noah. Let us hear God’s warning while His mercy is still being extended.

It’s time to repent.
It’s time to return to God.
It’s time to surrender to Jesus Christ.

“Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near.” — Isaiah 55:6

The warning is clear. The invitation is still open. The King is coming.

My Bible reading yesterday brought back a precious memory of what I treasured while studying the Scriptures in Saudi Arabia. I remember our Bible teacher reminding us of something profound: when we truly know the Bible, we can recognize its characters in the lives of people we encounter today—not because they look like them, but because their words, choices, attitudes, and actions reveal the same patterns.

Think about the Garden of Eden.

The serpent—the deceiver, craftily twisted God’s Word and wrapped disobedience in a sugar-coated lie. Adam and Eve—the deceived, listened to the voice of the enemy rather than trusting the clear command of God. Their decision brought devastating consequences—not only upon themselves but upon generations that followed.

The same enemy has not changed his strategy. He still deceives, distorts, and disguises rebellion as something attractive, reasonable, acceptable, or even beneficial. His lies may sound appealing, but anything that leads us away from obedience to God ultimately leads us away from His truth and His will.

This is why the declaration of the Apostle Peter in Acts 5:29 must continually echo in the heart of every disciple:

“We must obey God rather than human beings.”

What a powerful reminder for us living in a secularized world! We cannot allow popular opinion, cultural pressure, human reasoning, or sugar-coated lies to determine what we believe and how we live. God’s Word must remain our final authority.

I am reminded again of the warning we heard when we first joined the Child Discipleship Forum webinar: the enemy seeks to destroy lives through deception. Therefore, we must not remain spiritually naïve or easily influenced.

Know the Scriptures. Love the Scriptures. Search the Scriptures. Live the Scriptures.

God’s Word exposes the lies of the enemy, renews our minds, strengthens our faith, gives us discernment, and equips us to resist temptation. The more deeply we know God’s truth, the more readily we can recognize deception.

Church, let us be watchful!
Let us not be like Adam and Eve, who entertained the voice of the deceiver. Let us be like Peter, who courageously chose obedience to God over obedience to human beings.

May we become resilient disciples—grounded in the Word, discerning in spirit, steadfast in faith, and uncompromising in obedience.

Know the Word to recognize the lie.
Know the truth to resist deception.
Know God’s will to choose obedience.

May our lives continually declare: “We must obey God rather than human beings.” — Acts 5:29

It cannot be denied that we are witnessing in our time a glimpse of the end-time warnings, much like what happened in the days of Noah. People were caught off guard when the devastating judgment came. Only eight people were saved, while the rest helplessly perished because they remained unresponsive to God’s warning proclaimed through Noah.

Let us pray that more people in our generation will responsibly heed the end-time warning by turning to God with repentant hearts. May we also hold firmly to the assurance of God’s message in Psalm 36:6–10 that His steadfast love reaches to the heavens, His faithfulness to the skies, His righteousness is like the mighty mountains, and His judgments are like the great deep. He preserves both people and animals, and in Him is the fountain of life.

May we therefore take refuge in His unfailing love, walk in His truth, and faithfully proclaim His warning while there is still time. May many respond to God’s call with repentance and faith, finding refuge in Christ before the day of judgment comes.

08/25/2026

In this difficult time, darkened by sugar-coated lies, the cunning strategy of the serpent has not changed. In the Garden of Eden, Satan made what God had forbidden appear good, desirable, and enticing—something seemingly harmless and difficult to resist. Adam and Eve fell because they failed to take God’s Word seriously, choosing to believe the serpent’s deception rather than trusting the clear command of God. The pattern remains the same today: evil is repackaged to look good, rebellion is presented as freedom, and disobedience is disguised as something desirable.

This is why we need one another. We need each other’s shoulders to lean on, voices to remind us of God’s truth, and fellow believers who will lovingly warn us when we are being drawn toward Satan’s trap. We must not walk carelessly in an age when deception is becoming increasingly persuasive.

It is deeply troubling to see people who once acknowledged Yahweh as the Holy God now mock His holy name because He poured out His righteous judgment upon those who deliberately rebelled against Him. Yet Scripture reminds us that God’s people are not to be carried away by persuasive signs, words, or appearances. Deuteronomy 13:3–4 calls us to remain faithful to Yahweh, to walk in His ways, to fear Him, and to obey His commandments. The seriousness of rebellion is further demonstrated in Deuteronomy 13:10.

God’s judgment should therefore cause us not to mock His holiness but to fear Him, trust His Word, and examine our own hearts. His holiness is not negotiable, and His commands are not suggestions. The same God who is merciful and gracious is also righteous and just.

May we never repeat the mistake of Adam and Eve by treating God’s Word lightly. When the serpent makes sin attractive, may we remember that what looks good to the eyes can still lead to death. When deception is sugar-coated, may we hold firmly to the truth of Scripture. And when the world encourages us to compromise, may we stand together, encourage one another, and remain faithful to Yahweh.

The serpent’s strategy has not changed—but neither has God’s Word. Therefore, take God’s Word seriously, resist the deception, and remain faithful to Yahweh.

Obviously, Adam and Eve fell into Satan’s bait because they failed to take God’s Word seriously. They turned their eyes away from God’s command and toward what appeared desirable, allowing the enemy’s deception to override their trust in God. Their disobedience brought devastating consequences—not only upon themselves, but upon all humanity.

And the same danger continues from generation to generation. Whenever people take God’s Word for granted, they become vulnerable to the deception of the enemy, because what we refuse to take seriously, we will eventually disobey.

God’s Word warns us not to live for the temporary attractions of this fallen world. Jesus said in John 12:25, “Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.”

The issue, therefore, is not simply what we possess, but what possesses our hearts. When we turn our eyes away from God and become captivated by the fleeting promises of this world, we risk exchanging what is eternal for what is temporary.

But when we abide in Christ and take His Word seriously, our hearts are redirected toward what truly matters. Grace teaches us not only to receive from God, but also to surrender to God. And that surrender becomes visible in how we live, how we steward what He has entrusted to us, and how generously we give for His purposes.

Let’s consider it pure joy when we encounter suffering due to its glorious purpose, to wit:

1. Suffering is not meaningless—it is part of God’s purpose. Hebrews 2:10 begins with “it was fitting for Him”—God was not surprised or defeated by Christ’s suffering. The suffering of Jesus was within God’s redemptive purpose. Likewise, the suffering we experience as followers of Christ is not necessarily evidence that God has abandoned us.

2. Suffering identifies us with Christ. Jesus Himself entered into suffering. He did not save us from a distance; He experienced rejection, temptation, pain, humiliation, and death. Therefore, when believers suffer for righteousness, we are sharing in the pathway our Savior Himself walked.

3. Suffering develops Christlike maturity.
The phrase “to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings” does not mean Jesus was morally imperfect. Rather, His suffering brought His saving mission to its appointed completion. In the same way, God can use suffering to mature our faith, deepen our dependence, strengthen our obedience, and conform us to Christ.

4. Suffering prepares us for glory. The ultimate purpose stated in the verse is “bringing many sons to glory.” Glory is the destination; suffering is not. The believer’s suffering is temporary, but God’s promised glory is eternal.

Paul expresses the same perspective:

“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us”(Rom. 8:18).

The Church is challenged to move from hearing the Great Commission to actively responding to it. Matthew 24:14 gives us the urgency: “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” The fulfillment of this mission is not merely an organizational program—it is evidence that the Holy Spirit is at work in the life of a believer.

If you can’t go, send. 3 John 6–8 reminds us that believers can participate in the mission by faithfully supporting and sending those who go in Christ’s name. Not everyone is called to cross the ocean, but everyone who belongs to Christ is called to respond to His mission.

The challenge for the Church is therefore:

GO when God calls you to go.
SEND when God calls someone else to go.
PRAY when you cannot go or send.
GIVE so the Gospel can advance.
And LIVE as a faithful witness wherever God has placed you.

A Spirit-filled Church will not remain indifferent to the unfinished task. The Holy Spirit produces in us both the desire and the obedience to participate in Christ’s mission.

“If you can’t GO, SEND. But don’t simply watch—RESPOND.”

My Bible reading today from Matthew 10:28 combined with the prayer of the Blessed Mary in Luke 1:50 illuminate the same foundational truth: the fear of God is rightly ordered reverence that places God above every human authority and every earthly consequence.

Mary declares: “And His mercy is on them that fear Him from generation to generation.” — Luke 1:50

And Jesus teaches:

“Fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” — Matthew 10:28

The connection is striking: those who fear God are the ones who truly understand where their ultimate accountability lies. Mary was not merely praising God for His mercy; she recognized that God’s mercy rests upon those who approach Him with reverence, humility, and submission.

This gives Matthew 10:28 a deeper significance. Jesus is not teaching His disciples to live in terror of God, but to fear God more than man. The fear of God liberates us from the fear of people because we know that God’s authority, judgment, and eternal purposes are greater than anything man can do to us.

And there is a beautiful progression:

Fear God → Trust His mercy → Obey His Word → Stand unafraid before men.

Mary herself demonstrated this. She accepted God’s will even when obedience would bring misunderstanding, shame, and personal cost. Her response was essentially, God’s will matters more than man’s opinion.

Thus, Luke 1:50 helps us understand why Matthew 10:28 must be embraced: when God becomes the One we fear above all, we no longer have to be enslaved by the fear of man.
