Numbers 4-5; Mark 14; Job 14 Extravagant devotion never elicits applause. To the contrary, true devotion at best makes people uncomfortable, and at worst, elicits pure hatred toward the devotee. Devotion is an indictment against the status quo, against our blindness and cold hearts. When we see it, we come face to face with our […]

Nehemiah 10-11; 2 Corinthians 4; Proverbs 12 Guest Post:  Marcia Thorsell I found Chapter 4 of 2 Corinthians to be chocked full of gems; however, when I got to verses 16-18, I was reminded again of something that really works as we walk this life out.  2 Cor. 4:16-18  TPT So no wonder we don’t […]
