Guest post by Juniah Ramirez Ezra 2-3; 1 Corinthians 11; Proverbs 3 These were some heavy chapters today. In 1 Corinthians 11, there’s a lot of correction about being together and coming together—not just for the better, but for the worse. The focus wasn’t on the Lord; it was mainly on themselves hindering quite a […]

2 Kings 19-20; 1 Corinthians 7; Psalm 149 Over the last few weeks, reading through the Old Testament together, we have wrestled with our understanding of the true prophetic. Living in the New Covenant age of grace, we have all been given the Person of the Holy Spirit and have direct access to our Heavenly […]

Devotional Guest Post:  Debra Wynn  Feb 29:  2 Kings 17-18, 1 Corinthians 6, Psalm 148 Idolatry has consequences.   In a nutshell, 2 Kings 17-18 highlights the fall and exile of a nation — in this case Israel — because of sin and idolatry.  Unbelief is sin and trusting, fearing, worshiping any other thing or person […]

2 Kings 15-16; 1 Corinthians 5; Psalm 147 Sometimes the Word speaks plainly enough for itself:  1 Corinthians 5 1 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans, for a man has his father’s wife. 2 And you are arrogant! Ought […]

1 Kings 11-12; Romans 8; Psalm 134 How many believers find themselves still ensnared by the power of sin? How many live burdened under the yoke of condemnation? I know many. Undoubtedly, you do too. Let’s be honest: there are times when we all lose sight of the Truth. The Gospel, in its full splendor, […]

Guest Post:  Marcia Thorsell I Kings 7-8; Romans 6; Psalm 132 In the past, the thing I came away with from Romans 6 was vs 23, which I had memorized as a tool to lead someone to the Lord.  In fact, I have missed the point of this chapter.  It’s about freedom from sin.  Unfortunately, […]

Leviticus 18-19; Matthew 28; Psalm 124 If we allow God to define God, and we probably should, our understanding of the call – the clear command of God – will come into a different focus. Look at this: Leviticus 19 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to all the congregation of […]

Leviticus 16-17; Matthew 27; Psalm 123 I don’t have much to say. In fact, rather than commentary, maybe we would all be better served to stop and look at this. I mean really. To stop and look at this. Matthew 27 50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up his […]

Leviticus 14-15; Matthew 26; Psalm 122 Have you ever been criticized for loving God too much? Have you ever faced disapproval because of your devotion to Jesus? Perhaps you were just a little too zealous. Maybe you believed too much. Maybe you fasted a little too long, or your prayer or Bible reading was considered […]

Leviticus 10-11; Matthew 24; Psalm 120 We are in a season of the Lord’s judgment, this much is certain. What has long been covered is being exposed. What has been winked at is now seen for what it truly is, a breach of faith toward the Lord of the most egregious kind. Some of our […]
