And God said, "Let there be videos"

The Parable of the Five Bridesmaids from Hell

Scripture: Matt 25: 1-13

Christians and our communities often carry positive associations, such as love, grace, and forgiveness, as witness in the life of Jesus. But being around faith-filled people or identifying as Christian doesn't guarantee that we're being shaped by Christ. True discipleship demands a deeper, honest heart check. Though grace is freely given, it carries a nagging urgency—there's a limit to how long we can drift before missing what God wants to do in us. Real love and grace comes with friction, correction, and wake-up calls that move us toward living out the greatest commandment: to love and honor God and others with our lives, not just our labels.
