The Reality of Evil
September 15, 2026
Romans 12:21 calls us to overcome evil with good, but first we have to stop picturing evil as a cartoon in a red suit. Real evil is covert, patient, and calculated—a Doberman crouching in the grass—and Jesus says its headwaters are inside the human heart. We only outlast it by staying connected to the source of good, remembering that greater is he who is in us than he who is in the world.

A Loaf of Barley Bread
September 15, 2026
Judges 7:13-15 finds Gideon still scared right before the biggest night of his life, so God sends him to eavesdrop on the enemy camp—where he hears himself described as a loaf of barley bread, the cheapest, least impressive food there was. But that was the whole design: if it had been a sword in the dream, the story would be about a weapon; because it was bread, it could only be about God. He worshiped because he finally understood, and the fear didn't vanish—his posture did. And notice God had already gone ahead of him, prepping the enemy's own conversation before Gideon arrived. He's usually further ahead of you than you think.

God’s Own Breath
September 15, 2026
2 Timothy 3:16 uses a vivid picture: hold your hand to your mouth and feel your warm breath—the Bible says Scripture is *God-breathed*, its words coming out of God the way your breath comes out of you. That's what makes it different from every other book; others are people's good ideas, but this one God breathed out. So reading it is one of the closest ways to get to him—not just learning facts, but sitting close enough to feel his breath.

Why Do People Reject Jesus?
Matthew 21:37-39; People often reject Jesus not from misunderstanding, but from a deep-seated resistance to surrendering control. This parable illustrates the harsh reality that, like the tenants who killed the son to claim his inheritance, many refuse Jesus' authority to maintain their own perceived autonomy. This rejection is fundamentally about our human desire to rule ourselves, challenging us to confront our rebellion and submit to God’s loving governance.
