~Pricked in the Heart~
An All-Inclusive Departure From “Normal” 4.October.2026 There is a real difference between a decision someone made because they were cornered and a decision someone made because something inside them actually broke open. Scripture shows us exactly what the second one looks like. Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said…

~Two Kinds of Sorry~
An All-Inclusive Departure From “Normal” 3.October.2026 There is a kind of sorry that only shows up after getting caught, and there is a kind of sorry that has nothing to do with being caught at all. Scripture shines the truth on this perfectly. Godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but…

~A Prayer, Not a Verse~
An All-Inclusive Departure From “Normal” 2.October.2026 Something needs to be communicated here, because it is rarely said out loud. There is no “sinner’s prayer” written word for word anywhere in scripture. The familiar prayer so many of us grew up repeating is a tradition, something built by men to help people respond to a real…

~Lord, Lord~
An All-Inclusive Departure From “Normal” 1.October.2026 Yesterday I established that this is not casual. Today I want to go one step further, into territory that should unsettle anyone reading it, because Jesus Himself did not soften the one-two punch of it. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom…

~This Is Not Casual~
30.September. 2026 An All-Inclusive Departure From “Normal” Before we begin a new series, one thing has to be established. What happens when a person comes to Jesus is not a small adjustment to an otherwise fine life. It is not a nice addition, a helpful habit, or a comforting idea layered on top of who…

~Worship in Spirit and Truth~
29.September.2026 Every post this week has aimed at one question underneath all the others. Once a tradition of men has been identified and set aside, what actually takes its place? Jesus answered that clearly to a woman who had spent her whole life inside an argument about the correct location and method of worship. But…

~Set Free from Empty Ways~
28.September.2026 Peter did not describe the life before Christ as sin in the way we usually think of it, a list of bad choices that someone made on their own. He described it as something inherited, a whole way of living that was handed to a person before they were ever old enough to choose…

~New Wine, Old Wineskins~
27.September.2026 The wineskin metaphor did not show up out of nowhere. It came as a direct answer to a direct challenge. John’s disciples came to Jesus asking why His own disciples did not fast the way everyone expected a devout follower to fast. Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we…

~Form Without Power~
26.September.2026 There is a kind of religion that looks flawless from the outside but holds no intrinsic meaning or value. Paul cautioned us about this. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 2 Timothy 3:5 Form without power. That phrase describes something that has all the right look,…

~Taught by Men~
25.September.2026 There is a particular kind of fear that shapes people, over years, without them ever realizing where it came from. Not fear of God. Fear of man. Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far…
