“For thus says the Lord, ‘You were sold for nothing and you will be redeemed without money.’” — Isaiah 52:3

The world will gladly convince you to sell yourself for things that hold no eternal value.

Approval, attention, status, sin, and temporary comfort.

People trade their peace, convictions, marriages, purity, families, and relationships with God for things that never truly satisfy in the end. But the saddest part? Is how cheap the trade usually is.

A moment of compromise, a little bit of attention, or a temporary feeling.

God reminds us here that redemption can't be bought with money because true redemption has always been about Him stepping in to rescue what the world tried to destroy.

You can't earn salvation, buy forgiveness, or purchase freedom for your soul.

Christ already paid the price fully, completely, and permanently.

That means the shame from your past doesn't get the final say. The failures don't get the final say. The sin doesn't get the final say. Because when God redeems something, He doesn't just cover it.

He restores it.

Apparently sugar AND eggs in biscuits is controversial… 🫣🤍

But if loving soft, buttery homemade biscuits with flavor is wrong, I don’t wanna be right. 😂

Simple ingredients. Hot oven. Homemade comfort food every single time.

Homemade Biscuits

• 3 cups flour
• 3–4 Tbsp sugar
• ½ tsp salt
• 5 tsp baking powder
• 1 egg
• 1 cup buttermilk or regular milk
• ¾ cup softened butter

Preheat oven to 425°.

Mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl.

Add the egg and milk and mix until just combined. Then add the softened butter and continue mixing until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Turn dough onto a floured surface and gently pat out. Fold the dough over itself a few times for extra flaky layers, then pat out again and cut biscuits.

Place into a greased cast iron skillet or baking pan.

Bake at 425° until golden brown.

Soft, buttery homemade biscuits with simple pantry ingredients. 🤍
