“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other… You cannot serve God and wealth.”
— Matthew 6:24 NASB1995
🚫 Undivided Loyalty
Jesus makes it clear: you can’t split your heart between two masters. Sooner or later, one will win. Kingdom living demands complete devotion. Money, comfort, popularity—none of these can share the throne.
To serve God means to trust Him fully, obey Him wholly, and love Him entirely.
🔗 Ante-Nicene Reflection
The early Church often chose poverty, persecution, and simplicity over status or wealth. They believed that the Kingdom of God was worth more than any earthly treasure.
💭 Reflect
- Is there anything competing for my devotion?
- Am I truly living as if God is my only Master?
✨ Prayer
Lord, I don’t want a divided heart. Help me to serve You alone. Tear down idols and teach me to love You first. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
