Genesis 46-47; Mark 6; Job 6 Have you ever heard the phrase, “Familiarity breeds contempt?” When we believe we’ve accurately assessed someone or something negatively, it’s amazing how our reality will bend to match our negative perception. I’m a big fan of this show called Married at First Sight. It’s a reality TV program where […]

Zechariah 1-3; Revelation 16; Ecclesiastes 12 Are we dealing with an angry God? Are we abandoned in our sin? More and more, I’m asking the Lord for revelation on what the Gospel is and what it isn’t. The more I press in, the more I see that we have gotten off track—off in our understanding, […]

Ezekiel 3-4; 2 Corinthians 7; Proverbs 15 The true apostolic, in whatever else it may entail, is surely encapsulated in this: 2 Corinthians 7: 2 “Make room in your hearts for us. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have taken advantage of no one.” The true apostolic isn’t about dates […]

2 Kings 7-8; 1 Corinthians 1; Psalm 143 You aren’t poor. In fact, you have everything you need! You live in the realm of more than enough. It’s true! You are the inheritor of all things good! You are dearly loved and valued, cherished above even the angels and seraphim. You are a co-heir with […]

Guest Post: Juniah Ramirez 1 Kings 1-2; Romans 3; Psalm 129 Romans 3:21-24 ESV“But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for […]

Guest writer: Juniah Ramirez Leviticus 24-25; Romans 1; Psalm 127 (Romans 1:21)For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. I found today’s Bible reading to be quite impactful. Despite not being a child, […]

Leviticus 4-5; Matthew 21; Psalm 117 I had never been to church. That is, until my parents became believers. I was about 9 years old when they gave their lives to the Lord. I can still remember the service. I remember the room, the arrangement of the pews, and where we sat. It was a […]

Exodus 22-23; Matthew 14; Psalm 110 Everything about the New Testament example we have in Jesus is impossible to emulate in the flesh. God leads us into areas of obedience where we will become immediately acquainted with our own lack. Every part of being discipled by Jesus, in fact, leads us to that very conclusion: […]

January 8 Genesis 34-35; Matthew 7; Psalm 103 “Who is waiting on whom? Are you waiting on God, or is God waiting on you?” Years ago, I received a special invitation to attend a gathering featuring a wise, nearly 100-year-old man who would speak about Jesus. As we entered a small, intimate living room, about […]

My old identity has been co-crucified with Christ and no longer lives.  And now the essence of this new life is no longer mine, for the Anointed One lives his life through me—we live in union as one!  My new life is empowered by the faith of the Son of God who loves me so […]
