Mortality; April 4, 2025
2 Peter 1:13 I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body. Since contemporary records tell us that Peter was martyred, this statement by him isn’t quite the same as … Continue reading

Lifestyle; April 1, 2025
1 Peter 2:15 For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people. I’m currently reading The Untold Story of the New Testament Church, by Frank Viola, and it gives some somewhat horrifying … Continue reading
Influence; March 31, 2025
James 3:2 We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check. This is a sticky verse for me, because I am very much a man of … Continue reading

Faith and Works; March 30, 2025

Sacrifice for Sin; March 28, 2025

Sexual Purity; March 26, 2025

In Word or Deed; March 25, 2025
Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. This chapter has many dearly-loved verses, but I think I’m to focus on … Continue reading
