There is a moment in the spiritual life that few people talk about openly, but almost everyone experiences eventually. It is the moment when grace stops feeling like a soft blanket and starts feeling like a line in the sand. Not a harsh line, not a cruel one, but a clear one. A line that…

There are chapters in Scripture that feel like theology lessons, and then there are chapters that feel like someone opened your chest, put language to your private fears, and then quietly rearranged the furniture of your soul. Second Corinthians chapter five is not interested in staying theoretical. It is not content to remain safely doctrinal.…

There are moments in life when faith feels less like a soaring confidence and more like a stubborn refusal to quit. Not because everything is clear, not because answers are obvious, but because something deeper than circumstances is holding you upright. Second Corinthians chapter four is written for that moment. It is not a chapter…

There is a quiet kind of faith that rarely gets celebrated, posted, or applauded, yet it is the kind of faith that God has always chosen to use. It does not announce itself. It does not trend. It does not demand attention. It simply wakes up, shows up, and offers what it has again today,…

There are chapters in Scripture that shout, and there are chapters that whisper. Second Corinthians chapter three does not raise its voice.

A crowd so large it defies imagination. A miracle so famous it appears in all four Gospels. We call it the feeding of the five thousand, and by…

There are chapters in Scripture that feel less like doctrine and more like a hand placed gently on your shoulder at exactly the moment you thought no one noticed you were struggling. Second Corinthians chapter one is one of those passages. It does not open with triumph. It does not begin with certainty or clarity…

Most people skim 1 Corinthians 16. They treat it like a closing paragraph you rush through once the “important theology” is finished. It feels administrative. It feels personal. It feels like logistics, travel plans, collections, names, and farewells. Compared to resurrection, love, spiritual gifts, and unity, this chapter seems small. But that assumption is exactly…

Paul does not begin 1 Corinthians 15 by trying to be poetic. He begins by being precise. That alone should tell us something. When people are unsure, they tend to drift into abstraction. When people are certain, they anchor themselves in specifics. Paul anchors himself in history, memory, testimony, and sequence. He is not talking…
