So True Devotional

Is your Christian walk defined by what you don’t do or by what you do? In this episode of So True, Pastor Philip De Courcy unpacks James 4:17 to challenge believers to see sin not just as doing wrong but also as failing to do what’s right. Avoiding sin is important, but we are also called to actively pursue good works and live out the love and righteousness of Christ.

Discover how biblical faith calls us to more than passive avoidance. True Christian living is marked by positive action, not just abstaining from evil. Be inspired to live boldly for Christ by imitating His goodness in every area of your life.

Not all anger is sinful. In fact, there is such a thing as righteous anger. In this episode of So True, Pastor Philip De Courcy explores the moment when Jesus cleansed the temple, showing us how to be good and angry without sinning (John 2:14–17).

While unchecked anger is destructive, the Bible teaches that godly anger—anger over what angers God—is both necessary and right (Eph. 4:26). Christ’s example teaches us to direct our anger toward sin, express it appropriately, and keep it under control. Are you handling anger in a way that honors God? Learn how to channel this powerful emotion for His glory.

Do you keep a mental list of offenses? True love doesn’t keep score. In this episode of So True, Pastor Philip De Courcy unpacks 1 Corinthians 13:5, where Paul reminds us that love keeps no record of wrongs. Just as God wipes away our sins in Christ, we are called to extend the same grace to others.

Holding on to past grievances can turn our souls bitter and steal our joy. Instead, we must learn to forgive quickly, let go of resentment, and move forward in love. Whether in marriage, friendships, or daily life, keeping short accounts is key to living in the freedom of God’s grace. Learn how to bury the hatchet—for good.

Is your worship of Christ up to date? In this episode of So True, Pastor Philip De Courcy reminds us that true worship is not about contemporary styles but about seeing Jesus as He truly is—glorified, reigning, and coming again. Revelation 1 unveils Christ in His full splendor, not as the suffering servant but as the exalted King. When the apostle John saw this vision, he fell at Jesus’ feet as though dead (Rev. 1:17). His understanding of Christ was updated, and his worship followed.

Many churches today unknowingly worship a diminished view of Jesus, focusing on His past humility rather than His present and future glory. But Scripture calls us to worship Christ as He is now—crowned with honor and seated on His throne. Listen in and refresh your vision of the risen King!

Life constantly reminds us of our limitations. No matter how much we learn, we always realize how much more we don’t know. In this episode of So True, Pastor Philip De Courcy unpacks 1 Corinthians 13:12, where Paul acknowledges that in this life, we only see dimly, with partial understanding. But, instead of being frustrated by our limitations, we can embrace the blessing of not knowing it all.

God’s wisdom in withholding certain knowledge keeps us humble, teaches us to trust Him daily, and encourages kindness toward others. It also reminds us that our faith is not in what we know but in the God who knows all. Though we may not see the full picture now, we can rest in His perfect plan. Listen in and be encouraged to trust God with the unknown!
