Micah 1-3; Hebrews 13; Ecclesiastes 9 First of all, I think Hebrews may be my new favorite book. Reading it through The Passion Translation has been absolutely wonderful this time around. As you may have noticed, the book is not signed by an author. I’ve heard theologians attribute it to Paul, and recently I heard […]

Ezekiel 37-38; Hebrews 5; Ecclesiastes 1 Over the last several weeks, namely because of my current role, I’ve been pondering the Gospel. My job is to lead an altar call twice a week. I don’t preach the message, but I give the altar call. And so, the altar call has become the most important part […]

March 14 Nehemiah 6-7; 2 Corinthians 2; Proverbs 10 In the raw, unvarnished truth of the Gospel, there’s no room for slickness or concealment. Jesus, in His call to us, demands nothing less than complete surrender—denying ourselves, taking up our crosses, and walking in obedience, even unto death. This call isn’t nestled in the small […]

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 […]

Painful because maybe you thought there was initial excitement. Painful because you believed there was initial agreement. Painful because you spent lots of time and energy preparing for some […]

Leviticus 2-3; Matthew 20; Psalm 116 I don’t have much commentary today! Sometimes, the Word must do its work. It is doing its work. Do you remember where you were when God first found you? Do you recall how immersed in your filth, how mired in your own hell you were when He came looking […]

I’m ready to be found. I’m tired of this old game. The one where I hide in my shame and despair, feeling cut-out, rejected and abandoned.

But the truth is unbearable. I fell for the lie. Again. I was deceived. I turned my back. I was the one who disregarded Him. I was the one who maligned His character.

Consider the One who gave it all. Consider the Man who did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but put on humanity to redeem us. Whatever you need, look at Jesus! Look upon Jesus. He will save you. Over and over, He will save you.
