Are You a Rot Pile?

May 2, 2020

“And he rose and went. And there was an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure. He had come to Jerusalem to worship and was returning, seated in his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah. And the Spirit said to Philip, ‘Go over and join this chariot.’ So Philip ran to him and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and asked, ‘Do you understand what you are reading?’ And he said, ‘How can I, unless someone guides me?’ And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.” Acts 8:27-31

Before the Sky Falls

May 1, 2020

“So have no fear of them, for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or
hidden that will not be known. What I tell you in the dark, say in the light,
and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops. And do not fear
those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can
destroy both soul and body in hell.” Matthew 10:26-28

No Bottom

April 30, 2020

“About this we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have
become dull of hearing. For though by this time you ought to be teachers,
you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles
of God. You need milk, not solid food, for everyone who lives on milk is
unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child. But solid food
is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment
trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil. Therefore
let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity.”
Hebrews 5:11-6:1a

Taking Aim

April 29, 2020

“Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a
prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with
purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. I discipline my body
like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that
after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.”
1 Corinthians 9:24-27

Fistful of Nothing

April 28, 2020

“And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For  whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake 
and the gospel’s will save it. For what does it profit a man to gain the whole
world and forfeit his soul? For what can a man give in return for his soul?”
Mark 8:34-37
