The call to revival is not a pursuit of novelty, glitter, falling down, or any other external thing. The call to revival is the call to come to the Man, Christ Jesus! We’re not after just a little spice in our meetings! We’re after Jesus. We’re after God Himself. So, as a community, I want […]

Zechariah 9-10; Revelation 19; Lamentations 3 There is only one truly worthy, and His name is Jesus. In our efforts to create a culture of honor within the church, we may have inadvertently slipped into idolatry—idolatry toward individuals, their gifts, and their ministries. However, there’s a more excellent way to honor. Consider John’s heavenly encounter: […]

Zechariah 7-8; Revelation 18; Lamentations 2 I don’t have a lot of time to expound on this, so it’s a bit risky to address this at all, but I’m going to do my best. Remember, these devotionals are not sermons; they are more like a snapshot intended to highlight one idea from our daily readings […]

Ezekiel 16; 2 Corinthians 13; Psalm 21 Guest Post: Patty Bellingham Are you excited, fellow Christians? Let’s get excited! This is Holy Week! I love Phil Wickham’s song, “Sunday Is Coming.” There is a line in it that says, “Friday’s good ’cause Sunday is comin’.” For myself, as I re-read the account of our dear […]

Devotional Guest Post: Katherine Brey  Ezra 8-9; I Corinthians 14; Proverbs 6 Several years ago, I heard a worship song with two lines that struck me so profoundly that I cried instantly. Simple, yet direct and, for me, thought-provoking-  Break my heart for what breaks Yours Everything I am for your kingdom’s cause The song […]

Ezra 6-7; 1 Corinthians 13; Proverbs 5 Last night, I read another troubling and heartbreaking article about the exposures within the prayer movement. It’s beyond heartbreaking. I tossed and turned all night, like many of you, grieving and processing how we got here. This morning, as I scrolled through X, the stories and pain of […]

2 Kings 25; Ezra, 1; 1 Corinthians 10; Proverbs 1 We have wonderful promises, and we should believe them—truly believe them. Listen to the truth, and the truth will absolutely set you free. Proverbs 2:1-5“My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, making your ear attentive to wisdom and […]

We’ve been reading through the history of Israel and the long lineage of kings and rulers spanning hundreds of years. And for the most part, we see a dark history of apostasy and idolatry. Israel always turning away. Always forgetting the One who loves her best and most. It’s easy to judge and question a […]

2 Kings 21-22; 1 Corinthians 8; Psalm 150 How did we get here? How are we so off course? The church itself is lost. We can sing our songs and run our programs, but we need more than that: We must contend for the faith that was delivered to us (Jude 3). We must come […]

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 […]
