2 Chronicles 22-23; 2 Timothy 4; Jeremiah 24 I’m way behind. So behind, in fact, that rather than trying to catch up, I just reenlisted my heart again and picked up where we are in this week’s reading. We have had a lot of staff changes, and the truth is, it’s just been hard to […]

Zechariah 4-6; Revelation 17; Lamentations 1 Has the Lord ever compelled you to step out in great faith? Then you know it’s terrifying. There’s nothing quite like stepping out of the boat and onto nothing but water. There’s nothing reasonable about stepping out of that boat. The Lord calls us into the unknown, and all […]

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 […]

Jonah 3-4; Hebrews 12; Ecclesiastes 8 Because the New Covenant often gets preached as an extension of the Old, it can take us years, maybe even a lifetime, to discern that the Good News is actually really good news. If the Gospel has ceased to be good news to you, then let’s look at this […]

Jonah 1-2; Hebrews 11; Ecclesiastes 7 The reality of Heaven is all around us. The message of Jesus is exactly this: “The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.” (Matthew 3:2) It’s invisible, yet fully present and fully active. The scriptures tell us plainly that the glory of God covers the earth. (Isaiah 6) This is […]

2 Kings 5-6; Romans 16; Psalm 142 I’m convinced that the root of all our problems, whatever they are, is that for the most part, we are blind men walking. We grope along in our doubt, feeling our way through, scared of every rustle and creak. We need constant bolstering and encouragement to step out […]

Reflecting on Romans 14, we see a clear directive: “Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him.” Who are we to judge another’s servant? Each person stands or falls before their own master, […]

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: 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, […]
