Because 1 Corinthians 13 is one of those chapters people quote often, but few stop long enough to let it search them. Paul is not giving us a wedding reading first. He is giving the church a mirror. The Corinthians thought spirituality looked like gifts, speech, knowledge, and expression, but Paul says no. Real maturity is measured by love. So the real question is not merely, “Do I feel love?” The question is: has the nature of Christ begun to form in me? That is what this c

Freshly Baked Bread This morning I sat at my table eating French toast made from a loaf of bread I had just baked. The whole house smelled wonderful. The warm aroma had traveled into every room. I could not walk anywhere in the house without breathing it in. As I sat there enjoying the smell and the taste of that bread, I realized something. There was a lesson in that moment. Bread does not produce that aroma by accident. It begins with simple ingredients. Flour. Milk. Egg. B

Jesus Fellowshipping with Believers There is a difference between being religious and being close to God. On the surface the two can look very similar. Both may involve reading Scripture, attending church, praying, and speaking about faith. From the outside, it can be difficult to see the difference. But internally the two experiences are very different. Religion is often centered around performance. It focuses on doing the right things, saying the right words, and following

The Word of God reading a person Most people approach Scripture thinking they are the ones doing the reading. They open the Bible, scan the verses, try to understand the story, and search for a lesson they can apply to their life. In that sense, the reader remains in control. They are the one examining the text. But there is another moment that happens when someone begins to walk closely with God. It is subtle at first, and often unexpected. The roles begin to reverse. Instea

There are moments in life when the weight of sorrow feels unbearable. When loss, pain, or disappointment seem to consume every corner of our hearts. Yet, in these very moments, I have found a quiet, profound truth: God offers us beauty for ashes. This promise is not just a poetic phrase but a living reality that invites us to trust in His transformative power. It is a journey from despair to hope, from brokenness to restoration. I want to share with you how this hope can be f

Bible with Gems Romans, is one of those books that people often approach with respect, but not always with understanding. It is rich, layered, and full of theology, but if we are not careful, we can read it like it is only a doctrinal letter and miss the very human depth that runs through it. Romans is not cold. It is not detached. It is alive with the struggle of the human heart, the mercy of God, and the power of grace to rebuild a life from the inside out. As I have been r

An empty tomb When I began reading Luke 24 right after sitting in Luke 23 and reflecting on the hewn out rock, I realized something profound. In Luke 23 we explored the tomb as safety before transformation, containment before revelation, and I could see how that mirrored the human process of coming into alignment with God. But now in Luke 24 we are no longer inside the rock. We are standing outside of it. We are peering in. And that shift matters. The women came to the tomb e

Carved out tomb with rock rolled away When I began studying Luke 23 and saw that Jesus was laid in a tomb hewn out of rock, I thought I was asking a simple theological question. I wanted to understand the symbolism of the rock. Was it connected to Christ the solid rock. Was it connected to hiding in the cleft of the rock. Was it connected to mountains and revelation. I did not realize that the hewn out rock would become a diagram for the human process of coming into alignment

Luke 22:32 stopped me. “I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail.” I have read that verse before, many times, but this time it did not feel like something I was studying. It felt like something covering me. Before Peter ever denied Jesus, before the rooster crowed, before the shame and before the weeping, Jesus had already prayed. He did not pray that Peter would never fail. He prayed that his faith would not fail. That distinction settled deeply into my spirit bec
