It is with sorrow that I write this article—not due to any tragedy that has impacted me or my family, but because of a profound sadness I have never experienced before. This sorrow stems from the deep pain of being separated from those you love.
More Than Ever
In an age of information overload, where social media soundbites often replace deep reflection, many Christians find themselves asking: Does theology really matter?
The answer is a resounding yes.
Far from being an abstract academic pursuit, theology—simply put, the study of God—shapes everything about how we see the world, ourselves, and our faith. Yet, in many churches today, doctrine has taken a backseat to entertainment, and biblical literacy is at an all-time low. The result? A generation of believers struggling with doubt, uncertainty, and a faith that feels fragile in the face of life’s storms.
That’s why Faith for U Today exists.
This blog isn’t just another Christian resource—it’s a place to rediscover the richness of theology in a way that’s clear, practical, and deeply relevant to daily life. Whether you’re a longtime believer, a new Christian, or just exploring the claims of Christianity, this space is designed to help you think deeply about God, find solid answers to life’s biggest questions, and strengthen your faith with biblical truth.
God gave us His Word so that we may know Him and live by His truth. So, what should we do when we’re reading the Bible and a difficult passage stops us in our tracks? Sometimes the solution is right there on the page—if we know where to look—while other passages gain clarity in light of the rest of the Bible or its historical background. With the help of an experienced guide, we can overcome the obstacles to our progress and know God’s Word more deeply. In Hard Sayings, Dr. R.C. Sproul applies his wisdom as a theologian and Bible teacher to some of the most challenging verses in Scripture. By showing us how to navigate tough texts in the Old and New Testaments, he outlines key principles to help us grow in our knowledge of God.
Instead of fighting with temptation, channel your energy into doing something positive or good for someone else. The more this becomes a habit, the more temptation becomes a positive act rather than a precursor to sin. Temptation thrives on attention. The more you struggle, fight, think about or play with temptation, the more powerful and stronger it gets. Ignore temptation, do good, and it will flee.
(Read James 4:7–8 for more guidance)
Sin and shame keeps our heads bowed down. Interestingly, we do the same when we pray. The connection? Humility. A proud heart dows not bow, nor does a wicked heart. But a humble heart recognizes its need for help. When we pray, we are seeking help. Humility is the key to approaching God. This is done through Jesus Christ. Look up with a humble heart, and look at the cross of Christ for your salvation.
(Read Luke 14:11 for more guidance.)
Have you ever wondered why you sin? I mean if you have received Jesus Christ as your lord and Savior, then why do you still sin? Shouldn’t you be free from sin? Isn’t that what Jesus promised in the Bible? Have you ever wondered why sin is so hard to overcome? In other words, why do Christians continue to sin? Didn’t Jesus say you we would be free from sin?
Yes, He did. He gave us the ability to say no to sin and freed us from sin’s penalty, which is death.
However, we aren’t free from sin’s presence—not until we enter Heaven. The sin you struggle with today, has been paid for on the cross of Christ. You are just living out your sinful human condition. Your sins of your past. Present, and future have all been paid for in Christ if you have faith in Him. All means all.
Don’t be surprised that you still sin. This is why He came. This is why He died. You are a sinner, and this is why He loves you.
(Read Ephesians 2:1–9 to learn more.)
One of THE most asked questions by Christian believers is about knowing God’s will for their lives, and this often related to career or marriage decisions.
Christians pray earnestly for answers to these significant questions, but their prayers often come with presuppositions.
If you’re asking about God’s will, it might mean you haven’t spent enough time with Him to understand it. The more time you spend with God, the less you’ll need to ask about His will—you’ll already know it. Time with God leads to understanding His desires and expectations.
So, the next time you ask about God’s will, consider if you are not really seeking confirmation for an answer you’ve already decided in your heart, or if you are genuinely seeking His guidance. If the latter is the case, then God’s will for you is to spend time with your Creator. Get to know the One who knows your future.

How can we show God how much we love Him?
Have you ever wondered what it means to love God? I mean, how do you love…God? Is it a deep emotional feeling for God? Is it serving and obeying God? When we feel love for another person such as a child or family and friends, we can communicate our love to them because we can see and hear them. Yet how do you love an invisible God who is audibly silent? How do we show Him that we love Him?
The Bible answers this in one word: through and to “others.”
How you treat the people around you, are opportunities for you to show God how much you love Him. What does this means? For example, helping the poor and needy, showing kindness to the unkind, loving your enemies. These are all acts God takes personal and receives your love. So the next time someone cuts you off on the road to work, or talks about you behind your back, show God how much you love Him.
(Read Matthew 25:31-46 for more.)
We often feel discontent because we’ve convinced ourselves we need more. This creates a sense of lack and a desire to control the situation, making us impatient with God’s timing.
True contentment comes from patience, not accumulation. God provides all good things, but in His time. This builds our faith.
Next time you feel discontent, remember: “Not never, just not now.” Long for God as deeply as you long for that desired thing.
Read 1 Timothy 6:6–9 for more.
It’s tough when a loved one doesn’t share your Christian faith. You want them to experience the life-changing grace you’ve found. But negative reactions can be discouraging.
Remember, your primary goal is to love them, not convert them. Focus on your relationship with God and trust in His timing.
This is a test of faith. Are you willing to submit to God’s will, even if it means your loved one never believes?
Abraham, Job, and even Jesus faced similar trials. These moments refine your faith. Let God work in you. Trust in His goodness and sovereignty. If prayer feels ineffective, simply trust in who God is.

Welcome to Faith for U Today!
I’m thrilled you’ve stopped by! Faith for U Today isn’t just another blog; it’s a community where we explore the richness of Christian theology, one thoughtful conversation at a time.
We live in a world overflowing with information, yet clarity about faith can often feel elusive. It’s easy to get lost in confusing doctrines, conflicting viewpoints, and the ever-present noise. But I believe that theology – the study of God – isn’t just for scholars and theologians; it’s for everyone.
Here at Faith for U Today, you’ll find:
Theology isn’t just about dusty old books; it’s about how our faith intersects with our daily lives. We’ll explore how these timeless truths can bring hope, meaning, and purpose to your everyday experiences.
share our journeys, and offer encouragement along the way.
Whether it’s through thought-provoking questions, insightful articles, or guided meditations, we’ll journey together towards a deeper understanding of God and ourselves.
Feeling overwhelmed by faith?
You’re not alone. Maybe you have questions about God, life, and the world around you. Perhaps you’re wrestling with doubt or struggling to connect with your faith. Or maybe you’re simply curious to learn more about Christianity.
Whatever your journey, you’re welcome here.
Take a moment to reflect on what brought you to Faith for U Today. What questions are you seeking answers to? What challenges are you facing? Bring these questions to God in prayer.
I believe that exploring theology isn’t just about gaining knowledge; it’s about deepening our relationship with Jesus Christ, finding hope in the midst of life’s challenges, and experiencing the transforming power of God’s grace.
Let’s embark on this journey of faith together.
Many people assume theology is only for scholars or pastors. But theology isn’t about impressing others with complex terms—it’s about knowing God more deeply. And knowing God changes everything.
Think about it this way: If you were given a brand-new phone but never read the manual, you might use only a fraction of its capabilities. In the same way, many Christians live with a shallow faith simply because they’ve never taken the time to understand the depths of what Scripture reveals about God.
Here, we break down big theological ideas in ways that make sense—examining topics like God’s sovereignty in a chaotic world, the role of grace in daily struggles, and how biblical truth speaks to modern issues like anxiety, purpose, and relationships.
At its core, this blog is about more than knowledge—it’s about transformation. True theology isn’t just about information; it’s about worship. When we understand who God is, our hearts are stirred to love Him more, trust Him fully, and live with bold, unshakable faith.
So, whether you’re wrestling with tough questions, looking for encouragement, or simply wanting to grow, you’re in the right place. Dive in, explore, and let these truths shape your life.
Because when you truly know God, everything changes.
Call to Action: Take a moment today to reflect—how well do you really know the God you claim to follow? Open your Bible, pray for understanding, and ask God to reveal more of Himself to you. Then, keep learning. Keep growing. And most of all, keep your eyes fixed on Jesus.
Here at FFUToday, I believe that deep, rich theology isn’t just for scholars—it’s for everyone. Too often, theological truths are buried under academic language, making them seem distant and unapproachable. But that’s not how Jesus taught. He spoke in parables, used real-life examples, and brought the knowledge of God straight to ordinary people.
That’s exactly what I want to do here—break down complex theology into clear, practical teaching that strengthens your faith and transforms your life.
I started FFUToday in 2024 with one goal: to bring theology back to the people. For centuries, theology has been locked away in seminaries, and difficult to grasp for everyday believers. But the Gospel isn’t meant to be filtered through scholarly language—it’s meant to be understood, embraced, and lived out. I hope that through this blog, you’ll gain knowledge and grow in your faith, deepen your love for Christ, and see how theology applies to your daily walk with God. Ephesians 4:11-16 reminds us that we are called to grow in spiritual maturity, which starts with understanding who God is.
Steven Pak was born in South Korea and immigrated to the United States with his family in the 1970s. With a deep passion for theology and biblical teaching, he pursued formal theological education, earning a Master’s in Theology from Westminster Seminary California and a B.A. in Leadership. Over the past several decades, he has dedicated himself to teaching the Bible, leading church ministries, and equipping believers with a deeper understanding of their faith.
In addition to his theological work, Steven has also built a career in Information Technology, gaining valuable skills in the modern digital landscape. However, his greatest calling has always been making theology accessible and impactful for everyday believers. This passion led him to establish FFUToday, a platform designed to help Christians overcome misconceptions, embrace biblical truth, and grow in their relationship with the true and living God.
Steven lives with his wife Lindsey and two sons. He hopes that through this blog, readers—whether new in their faith or seasoned believers—will find encouragement, clarity, and a renewed hunger for God’s Word. Even faith the size of a mustard seed (Luke 13:19) can grow into something great.
