There’s something about Paul that’s hard to ignore when you dig into his letters and life story. Here’s a man who was ridiculously zealous, not for himself but for Christ, and through him, we get a front-row seat to what it means to truly follow Jesus. But what does that mean for us today, especially … Read more
There’s this beautiful tension in Paul’s letters that often slips by unnoticed if we don’t pay close attention: the ministry of reconciliation, especially as it’s lived out in this age of grace. When you dig into 2 Corinthians 5, it becomes clear—God isn’t just calling us to play mediator between squabbling neighbors or to patch … Read more
There’s something mesmerizing about how God unfolds His plans across Scripture. If you’ve ever wrestled with prophecy, wondered about mysteries, or scratched your head over Paul’s letters, you’re not alone. The Bible isn’t just one story told in one style—it’s two divine programs running side-by-side, sometimes overlapping, often distinct. One is prophecy, the other mystery. … Read more
The idea of the rapture stirs up a lot of questions, debates, and, if I’m honest, a fair bit of excitement in the hearts of many believers. If you’re walking this grace journey and rightly dividing the Word—really digging into what Paul wrote to the Body of Christ apart from Israel—then the hope of the … Read more
When we talk about grace, especially from a grace-centered perspective, there’s a temptation to either throw out works completely or to misunderstand their place altogether. I’ve seen folks swing wildly between two extremes: one camp acts as if works don’t matter at all, while another camps so hard on “faith and works” that grace ends … Read more
Sometimes, diving into Scripture feels like decoding an ancient mystery wrapped in a puzzle. You hear phrases like “New Covenant” and “the Mystery” tossed around like interchangeable terms, but they’re not the same animal. And if you lean into grace with the sharpened knife of rightly dividing the Word of Truth, these distinctions aren’t just … Read more
When people toss around the phrase “Great Commission,” it often feels like gospel truth for every believer to be out there knocking on doors or preaching on street corners. But if you’ve spent time digging into Paul’s letters with an eye on “rightly dividing the Word of Truth” (2 Timothy 2:15), you quickly realize something’s … Read more
Let’s face it: the whole Law vs. Grace debate isn’t just some dusty theological relic for Sunday school nerds to bandy over. It’s the heart of how we understand God’s relationship with us. And if you’ve ever flipped through Romans chapters 6 to 8, you know you’re stepping into some deep waters where Paul isn’t … Read more
Ephesians 4:5 says there is “one Lord, one faith, one baptism.” Everyone throws around this verse like it’s a neat little bullet point on unity, but what does that one baptism really mean? For those of us who embrace grace and know how to rightly divide the Word (thank you, Paul), peeling back the layers … Read more
Something about the whole fascination with signs and wonders always makes me scratch my head. Don’t get me wrong—there’s no denying that miracles, healings, and those jaw-dropping moments in Scripture are captivating.
