Hi! A few thoughts from today’s reading. Especially focused on these verses from Galatians 1. Galatians 1 11Beloved ones, let me repeat emphatically that the gospel entrusted to me was not given to me by any man. 12No one taught me this revelation, for it was given to me directly by the unveiling of Jesus […]
Zechariah 9-10; Revelation 19; Lamentations Guest Blog Post: Patty Bellingham Where is my Google Maps app? As I read today’s passages, I sometimes feel lost with all of the symbolism and need some direction. Do you sometimes feel that way when you read prophecy? It is so foreign to us, but our great and marvelous […]
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 4-5; Philemon; Ecclesiastes 10 Recently, my son Judah shared something intriguing with me. He was watching a YouTube video that delved into the book of Philemon, a book I hadn’t deeply considered before.

Ezekiel 41-42, Hebrews 7, Ecclesiastes 3 Guest Post: Katherine Brey Some may feel that time is a nemesis. It isn’t! There is a neutrality to time; it has no personal motivation or emotion. With each gliding of the minute hand on a clock, we realize that time is a gift. Time is never more evident […]
Ezekiel 17-18; Ephesians 1; Proverbs 22 Today, I come bearing only good news! The Gospel of Jesus is purely good news for those being saved. Let’s focus on Jesus today. His face shines like the sun at its full strength. Just look at Him! If we truly see the glory of this Gospel we proclaim, […]
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 […]
Devotional Guest Post: Blake Hodge Nehemiah 12-13; 2 Corinthians 5; Proverbs 13 Thoughts from Nehemiah 12 & 13: If we were being honest, we see a list of names in Scripture and we often gloss over it. They are usually names we can’t pronounce, and we are so removed from their stories, that we use […]
