Nehemiah 10-11; 2 Corinthians 4; Proverbs 12 Guest Post:  Marcia Thorsell I found Chapter 4 of 2 Corinthians to be chocked full of gems; however, when I got to verses 16-18, I was reminded again of something that really works as we walk this life out.  2 Cor. 4:16-18  TPT So no wonder we don’t […]

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 […]

Devotional Guest Post: Katherine Brey Nehemiah 4-5, 2 Corinthians 1, Proverbs 9 Have you ever heard the term “telling it like it is’ ‘? Reading all of Paul’s letters, this term would describe his writing. There is no sugar-coating the Christian journey, and Paul offered first-hand accounts of the difficulties of answering Christ’s call. Of […]

Ezra 4-5; 1 Corinthians 12; Proverbs 4 There will always be opposition to the Word of the Lord. After all, we are in a war. It is kingdom against kingdom, just as Jesus said. And so, if you find yourself in a wrestling match, do not lose hope. Do not despair. Fight! Fight to keep […]

Guest post by Juniah Ramirez Ezra 2-3; 1 Corinthians 11; Proverbs 3 These were some heavy chapters today. In 1 Corinthians 11, there’s a lot of correction about being together and coming together—not just for the better, but for the worse. The focus wasn’t on the Lord; it was mainly on themselves hindering quite a […]

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 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 […]

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 21-22; Romans 13; Psalm 139 With all that is unraveling within the prayer movement, as we read through the scriptures together, I find myself reexamining what constitutes the true prophetic in our shared history and faith. It appears that the true prophetic voice is never popular or widely successful, according to the Word. […]
