Sometimes we realise our checklist for life isn’t working. The wrong priorities keep leading to wrong results. But the beauty of grace is that it allows us to reset — to rewrite our criteria with wisdom, not pride. As the week ends, it’s time to reflect on the standards we’ve…

GROW Model | The Right Criteria: God’s Standard vs. The World’s

The world’s criteria often sound appealing — wealth, beauty, influence, and power. But God’s criteria flip the script: humility, faithfulness, love, and service. These values rarely trend, but they last. Today we compare the two sets of standards and ask which one we’re really living by.

GROW Model | The Right Criteria: Choosing By Values, Not Feelings

Feelings are real, but they’re not always reliable. Many of our biggest regrets come from decisions made on impulse rather than principle. The right criteria come from values — things that don’t shift with the moment. Today, we explore how to build decisions that last by grounding them in what…

GROW Model | Getting Into The Love of God: The Love That Offends

God’s love offends our sense of control, our pride, and even our religious rules. Think of Jesus eating with tax collectors, touching lepers, and forgiving prostitutes. His love still offends today when it crosses boundaries of race, gender, culture, and even religion. If God’s love doesn’t offend us at some…

GROW Model | Getting Into The Love of God: The Love That Costs

Love isn’t cheap. For God, love cost His Son’s life. For us, it costs our pride, our control, our need to cling to self. God’s love is free, but living in it requires surrender — something many of us aren’t prepared for. His love will strip you down before it…
