Throughout history, the world has tried to silence the church’s message of the gospel of Jesus Christ. While people may have a variety of reasons for wanting to avoid the gospel, it usually doesn’t center on the fact that God loves us or that we can be forgiven. Rather, the chief objections most have toContinue reading “August 3: Psalm 66-67; Romans 7”

August 2: Psalm 63-65; Romans 6
One of the biggest questions we must ask ourselves in life is what is most important to us. People place value on many things, and if you ask them what is at the top of the list you will receive many answers. Some place their highest value on family, others on careers, many value wealth,Continue reading “August 2: Psalm 63-65; Romans 6”
August 1: Psalm 60-62; Romans 5
All of the Bible is the inspired Word of God and is of value for people through all ages and all places. Still, there are some passages that are so rich in their revelation of God’s grace that they become favorites of many, read repeatedly and committed to memory.

July 31: Psalm 57-59; Romans 4
Many people are going through difficult circumstances at this time. Some are suffering from physical illness, others have lost loved ones, many have lost jobs, and others are at risk of losing homes.

June 30: Psalm 54-56; Romans 3
I have recently been reading a book on the modern atheist movement and its critiques of Christianity. The author shoes that, like many other criticisms of the Bible, Jesus, the doctrine of God, and Christianity in general, the modern atheist has nothing new to say. There are new twists on old arguments, new evidences attachedContinue reading “June 30: Psalm 54-56; Romans 3”
July 29: Psalm 51-53; Romans 2
One of the most difficult aspects of the Christian life is dealing with the fact that we still sin. It would be so much easier for us if the moment that we came to Jesus for salvation we immediately lost all desire to do what is contrary to His commands. Even though our sins areContinue reading “July 29: Psalm 51-53; Romans 2”
July 28: Psalm 49-50; Romans 1
There are few passages in Scripture that provide a better portrayal of our modern society than the second half of Romans 1. From the general description of society as ungodly and unrighteous to the specific sins listed by Paul, we could imagine he was writing headlines for us today. The depravity of humanity is onContinue reading “July 28: Psalm 49-50; Romans 1”
July 27: Psalm 46-48; Acts 28
While the book of Psalms was written by many authors over many years and through many historical settings, the book as we have it today was organized for use om Jewish worship. As we read through the book, you will find times when several psalms were arranged to build on each other. This will beContinue reading “July 27: Psalm 46-48; Acts 28”
Today’s reading (7/26)
If today’s reading looks familiar, it’s because I accidentally skipped a day while writing this week. (My brain is still a little off, I guess.) To get a new reading, go to June 24th and catch up on the one I missed.
July 24: Psalm 37-39: Acts 26
You have probably heard many stories about people who have come close to achieving some important goal in their life only to fall just a little short. Maybe you knew someone who was a great athlete in school but never quite made it to the professional ranks. I know several musicians who were very talentedContinue reading “July 24: Psalm 37-39: Acts 26”
