  • Max Lucado Daily Devotional - Emotions of Pride and Shame

    Listen to Today's Devotion

    Pride and shame. You’d never know they’re sisters. They appear so different. Pride puffs out her chest. Shame hangs her head. Pride boasts. Shame hides. Pride seeks to be seen. Shame seeks to be avoided.

    But don’t be fooled, the emotions have the same parentage. And the emotions have the same impact. They keep you from your Father. Pride says, “You’re too good for him.” Shame says, “You’re too bad for him. Pride drives you away, shame keeps you away.

    If pride is what goes before a fall, then shame is what keeps you from getting up after one. God, the sinless and selfless Father, loves us in our pride and shame. 2 Corinthians 5:19 (NKJV) says, “God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself.”

  • Take 2 Theology - Ruth After Judges: When God Is King in the Chaos

    Episode 2.93


    Narrative Juxtaposition: How the Bible Speaks Through Story Placement | Part 4


    In this episode, Michael and Zach explore why the book of Ruth is placed immediately after Judges and what that placement reveals. Judges ends in moral collapse—“everyone did what was right in his own eyes”—yet Ruth quietly insists that God is still King, even when His people are not living like it.


    Rather than working through judges or national deliverance, God moves through ordinary faithfulness—through Naomi’s lament, Ruth’s loyal love, and Boaz’s righteous strength. In a world shaped by chaos and self-rule, Ruth shows what life looks like under God’s kingship: protection instead of exploitation, redemption instead of violence, and covenant faithfulness at the margins.


    The story ultimately points forward. What begins in Bethlehem during famine ends with a genealogy leading to David—and beyond him, to Christ. The message is clear: even in the darkest seasons, God is still ruling, and He often does it quietly, through faithful people and redeeming love.

  • Be Still and Know Daily Bible Devotion - March 24th - Mark 10:24-25
    Mark 10:24-25
    Jesus said again, “Dear children, it is very hard to enter the Kingdom of God. In fact, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!”
    There is a widespread disease in our society known as affluenza. It is the belief that peace and contentment can only be found in life by becoming increasingly wealthy. It is in fact not a new disease at all. The disciples were shocked by Jesus’ teaching that riches were a massive obstacle to following him. Jesus had just met a rich, young ruler. He seemed to have everything. On the surface, he had every advantage in life, but when Jesus told him to sell all that he had and give it to the poor, he went away sad. It wasn’t the answer he wanted to hear.
    In our verse today, Jesus addressed his disciples as children. He didn’t often use that expression, and it suggests that he was reaching out to them with great gentleness and compassion. He could see how much they were struggling with his teaching about wealth. They had been brought up with the belief that wealth was a sign of God’s blessing, so the thought that it was a huge obstacle to following Jesus was a new way of looking at life. Jesus was saying that wealth will never be the way get a ticket into his kingdom. The only way to find salvation is through depending entirely upon God and throwing ourselves upon his mercy.
    Jesus was never opposed to wealthy people following him, and clearly many did. Through the centuries, the Church has been blessed by the presence of many rich people, but not one of them has obtained salvation through their wealth. The only way into the kingdom is by recognising our spiritual poverty and coming to the Lord with empty hands, eager to receive his gift of new life.
    Question
    In what way do you think it is particularly difficult for a rich person to follow Christ?
    Prayer
    Loving God, help me never to allow anything to get in the way of following you. Amen
