A Prayer to Love God More

1024 575 Paul Luna

In the opening of Up, love shows up in ordinary ways: shared breakfasts, quiet evenings, slow walks. That scene doesn’t just make me smile, it convicts me. If someone pressed play on my life, what would they see? Moments that reflect the love of Jesus, or a life too distracted to notice Him?

What Will Mill City See in Us?

1024 575 Paul Luna

If people in Mill City judged Christianity only by the way we love, what story would they read in our lives? The early church didn’t convince the world through clever arguments but through love that could not be ignored. For forty days, we’ll take small, faithful steps to love like Jesus—because love is the proof the world can see.

No More Excuses to Stay Silent About Jesus

1024 683 Paul Luna

You know the gospel. You believe it. But when was the last time you said it out loud to someone who doesn’t? Jesus said, ‘Go.’ We say, ‘Later.’ That delay has a cost. The gospel isn’t waiting for the perfect moment, it’s waiting for obedient voices. Silence might feel safe, but eternity is not a neutral matter. No more excuses.”

You’ll Never Care About the Mission Until You Pray

1024 683 Paul Luna

If we say we care about the mission but don’t pray, we’re just standing still. True engagement starts with calling out names before God, right where we are. Whether it’s your neighbor or the Nahuatl people in Mexico, prayer is where the mission takes root—and where your faith moves from passive to active.

How to Walk with God in Life’s Everyday Moments

1024 585 Paul Luna

Intimacy with God is more than a concept; it’s a personal journey of trust, faith, and connection. It’s not about perfection or elaborate prayers but about showing up daily, inviting Him into every moment, and recognizing His presence in the ordinary and extraordinary. Through prayer, reflection, and trust, we grow closer to Him and experience His peace and guidance as we walk through life side by side with our Creator.

A Reminder in the Christmas Wreath

1024 683 Paul Luna

Every Christmas, I reflect on the wreath I hang on my door in Mill City. Its circle reminds me of God’s eternal love, the evergreens of His promises, and the holly of Christ’s sacrifice. It’s more than decoration; it’s a reminder to keep Jesus at the heart of Christmas.

You Are More of a Leader Than You Think

1024 585 Paul Luna

Ever feel like life throws leadership responsibilities at you when you’re just trying to survive the day? Yeah, I get it. I was at my kitchen table the other day, avoiding the pile of dishes when it hit me—we all lead in some way. Maybe you’re thinking, “I’m no leader!” But here’s the truth: if you’ve convinced a toddler to eat their veggies or gotten a teenager to clean their room, you’ve got leadership skills. Let’s dive into how Christian leadership isn’t about titles, but about living out love and integrity in every corner of our lives.
