Don’t Wrestle Pigs
August 14, 2026
2 Timothy 2:23-26 tells Timothy not to have anything to do with foolish arguments — not to win them, but to walk away from them. Screens create distance, distance breeds a keyboard courage nobody would show face to face, and the comments section is engineered for quarrels rather than kindness. Winning in a pig pen still leaves you covered in mud, and your peace is worth more than the last word.

Taken Away
August 14, 2026
Isaiah 6:5-7 shows what happens after Isaiah collapses in guilt: an angel flies to *him* with a coal from the altar and tells him his sin is taken away. Notice the direction—Isaiah doesn't crawl toward God, grace crosses the room to him, with no lecture and no list. You don't get clean and then come to God; you come to God and He cleans you, and the question that shapes your whole year isn't whether you fall but whether you know the way back to verse 7.

Where Your Treasure Is
August 14, 2026
Matthew 6:19-21 gives a little sad but true fact: every toy you own will one day break, wear out, or get lost. So Jesus said aim your heart at treasure in heaven instead—the love and kindness you give people never breaks and never gets stolen. And where your treasure is, your heart follows, so you were designed for something bigger than a pile of stuff that breaks.

Peace When You Don’t Have Control
