Reckon Yourself Dead to Sin

You ever wonder what it means to truly reckon yourself dead to sin? It’s one of those phrases Paul throws out in Romans 6, and it sounds weighty, almost like a call to some spiritual martyrdom or a grim resignation. But it’s not. Far from it. Reckoning yourself dead to sin is actually the pivot

Pleasing God by Faith

Faith—there’s a word tossed around lightly in church circles, almost like a magic wand. But when you dive into Paul’s letters with a grace-shaped lens, faith isn’t just some vague spiritual currency; it’s the very essence of pleasing God. Not perfection. Not performance. Faith. Real, raw trust in the finished work of Christ. Let’s reset.

The God of All Grace

There’s something wild and unfathomable about God’s grace that keeps tugging at my heart. Not just the warm, fuzzy grace everyone can quote in a Sunday service—but the radical, all-encompassing grace that shatters every rule we thought bound us.

The Hope Laid Up in Heaven

Sometimes I wonder how many of us really grasp what it means to have a hope laid up in heaven. Not just a vague optimism or a fleeting wish tossed into the void, but a real, unshakeable hope grounded in God’s promises, secured through the finished work of Christ. It’s funny how the world tries

Faith Comes by Hearing

Faith is funny sometimes. We often think of it like a switch—either flipped on or off, something we grab hold of by sheer willpower or maybe a good sermon.

The world flings around the phrase like confetti—peace talks, peace treaties, peace signs—yet when you drill down, true peace feels as rare and fragile as a bird’s feather caught in a gust. For believers walking in grace, Christ isn’t just the idea of peace; He is

Our Labor Is Not in Vain

There are moments when the grind feels endless. You’ve poured yourself out—time, energy, prayers, tears—into serving, teaching, loving, or simply persevering in your walk with God. And yet, the weight of weariness drapes itself over your shoulders, whispering doubts: Are all these efforts truly making a difference? Is any of this even noticed in God’s

The Mystery Revealed

Sometimes, the best truths are hidden right in plain sight—so obvious we skim over them without a second thought. Take the phrase “The Mystery Revealed.” It feels like a headline from a tabloid, promising secret knowledge, but in the Scriptures? It’s a phrase that pulses with deep significance. Paul taps into it repeatedly, not as

Saved by Grace Through Faith

There’s something shocking and beautiful in realizing you’re not saved by what you do, but by what’s already been done for you. Saved by grace through faith isn’t just a nice phrase tossed around in church bulletins—it’s the explosive power that completely flips the script on how we view God, ourselves, and salvation. When you

Filled with All Joy and Peace in Believing

Joy and peace. These two words get tossed around in church circles like cheap coin—pretty and shiny, yet often stressful to actually experience. But what if I told you that being “filled with all joy and peace in believing” isn’t some lofty ideal for the spiritual elite? It’s a reality nailed down through faith, a
