  • Max Lucado Daily Devotional - Be God-Minded

    Listen to Today's Devotion

    Thoughts of faith create feelings of hope. So be God-minded! Meditate on him. I recommend doing so by focusing on three specific moments.

    Give God your awakening moments. “Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly” (Psalm 5:3 NLT). Rather than dread the challenges of the day, thank God for the blessing of the day.  Think less about what you need to get done and more about what God has already done.

    Give God your waning moments. Those middle-of-the-night thoughts?  Rather than toss and turn, turn and pray.

    Give God your worshiping moments. Young David worshiped God in full view of the giant. Let’s do likewise.

  • Take 2 Theology - Paul in His Own Words 1 | The New Apostle

    Episode 2.51


    Before the shipwrecks and prison letters, Paul was a man under suspicion.

    Not one of the Twelve. A former persecutor now claiming divine authority.

    In his earliest writings—Galatians and 1 Thessalonians—Paul defends his calling, clarifies his gospel, and opens his heart as a pastor.


    In this episode, Zach and Michael trace Paul’s transformation from zealot to apostle, exploring how God turned an enemy of the church into its most tireless servant.


    Covered in this episode:

    – Galatians 1: Paul’s authority “not from man, but from Christ”

    – Galatians 2: Standing alone for gospel truth—even against Peter

    – Galatians 4 & 6: The emotional cost of authentic ministry

    – 1 Thessalonians 2–3: A pastor’s integrity and affection under fire

    – How authority, courage, compassion, and credibility shaped Paul’s early ministry


    Takeaway:

    The early Paul isn’t polished—he’s passionate, bruised, and believable. His defense of apostleship shows what real ministry looks like when truth and tenderness meet.

  • Be Still and Know Daily Bible Devotion - October 28th - Galatians 6:7-8

    Galatians 6:7-8

    Don’t be misled – you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit.

    The principle of ‘you reap what you sow’ is both obvious and profound. If you sow a field full of wheat, you would be crazy to expect a crop of potatoes. It’s so obvious, but the message fundamentally challenges the way in which we live every day because each word that we speak and action that we perform will have consequences. If we are kind, gracious and loving, there will be one kind of outcome, and if we are spiteful, angry and destructive, there will be a completely different result.
    Paul drew the conclusion that we should therefore not become tired of doing good things, knowing that sooner or later there will be a good harvest. Of course, the problem quite often is that it takes a long time to see any positive outcome from doing good. It is possible to work in a children’s or youth club for years before you see any positive outcomes. I have known people work in local churches for decades without seeing any tangible successes. Indeed, sometimes people are unkind and critical of the things that we do, and it all feels like terribly hard work.
    All of this means that we need to focus our energies on ensuring that we plant good seed. That was precisely Paul’s situation with the Galatian church. He faced fierce opposition, and many people wanted him to believe that he had got it all wrong, but he knew that the seed he was planting was the best. The good news of salvation was a message of hope and liberty that would never let people down, so he kept preaching it, however cruel and resistant people might be. Similarly, we will often find ourselves in situations that are tough and unrewarding and, if we are convinced that we are doing God’s good work, he will always encourage us to hang in there, knowing that a good harvest will definitely result one day.

    Question

    In what situations or relationships are you needing to ‘hang in there’ at the moment?

    Prayer

    Lord God, thank you for the work that you call me to do. Help me to keep doing good even when it is tough and unrewarding. Amen
