  • Daily Devotional: Exodus 12:15-32

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 12:15-32

    God sees the blood on the frames of the Israelite doors and passes over them, not allowing the destroyer to go in. I find this wording interesting. From Genesis 4:23 onward, God has said that He will personally kill the firstborn. Yet, here we read about Him sending in or withholding a destroyer–a character some…

  • Daily Devotional: Ephesians 5:5-10

    Daily Devotional: Ephesians 5:5-10

    The Christian puts off the old self, immorality, impurity, and greed—even no longer speaking unfruitfully or joking coarsely. We put on Christ and live for the benefit of others. We do so for, or because, we know with certainty that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, who is an idolater, has an inheritance…

    Daily Devotional: Ephesians 5:1-4

    Therefore, since we put off our old selfish selves and put on Christ, we are instructed to be imitators of God. We are His beloved children. Just as Christ gave Himself up for us as an offering and sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma, we also give ourselves up for others. This is our…

    Daily Devotional: 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8

Sanctification is complete when we are fully like Christ. Paul praises the Thessalonians for walking according to Christian instruction. He admonishes them to excel still more. We are always to excel…

  • Daily Devotional: Romans 13:7-14

    Daily Devotional: Romans 13:7-14

    Paul continues to exhort the unincorporated in Rome about how to live just lives. He lists a few of the Old Testament Commandments, but ultimately, he admits it simply comes down to loving other people sincerely. It would be difficult for Paul to teach the whole degree of the Law, every minute detail, to the…

  • Overcoming Porn (explicit-ish)

    Overcoming Porn (explicit-ish)

    Paul addressed the immorality present in the church at Corinth. Now, he turns his attention to the matters about which the church wrote him related to porneia, sexual sin. It seems there was much confusion about sexuality in the midst of First Century Rome like there is in our own time. Paul continues to address…

  • Sexuality and Lust

    For although they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and…
