A blip in Genesis. A major figure in Hebrews. Melchizedek → a type of Christ. bit.ly/Devo031325 #BibleStudy #Devotional

God is not against progress or ingenuity. He is against man making himself god. Babel is the ancient version of secular humanism — putting human greatness at the center of the universe. Genesis 11 bit.ly/Devo020121 #BibleStudy #Devotional

Two sons. One ran away. One stayed home and resented. Both missed the father. Both sought satisfaction somewhere else. Jesus includes the older brother for a reason. Luke 15 bit.ly/Devo011326 #BibleStudy #Devotional

“When he finally came to his senses…” That’s the turning point. Repentance. Humility. Return. And the father? He was already watching. Already ready to run. Luke 15 bit.ly/Devo010626 #BibleStudy #Devotional

Ever lost something valuable and felt that rising panic… followed by overwhelming relief when you found it? Jesus says that’s a tiny picture of heaven’s joy when someone turns to Him. Luke 15 bit.ly/Devo021121 #BibleStudy #Devotional

Luke 13 Truth = facing the reality that there’s no fruit. Grace = the fertilizer we can’t provide for ourselves. Time = the patience to let the process work. That’s the growth model in Jesus’ parable of the fig tree. bit.ly/Devo020921 #BibleStudy #Devotional

Stafford needs to quit throwing to Ferguson #18 Dude keeps dropping gimme passes that are hitting him in the hands #Rams look better than last week, but too many missed plays

What's the meaning of the word “baptism”? Jesus said He had a baptism to undergo… and it wasn’t water In Mark 10 & Luke 12, “baptism” clearly means identification with suffering and death The word is broader than we usually think bit.ly/Devo092026 #BibleStudy

I keep thinking the #Trojans are going to have a Scooby Doo moment where someone approaches Gary Patterson, grabs his face and turns out it's a mask. Underneath? Alex Grinch

I'm really growing wearing of the ineptitude of Lincoln Riley and how bad his #Trojans teams perform. Can we please get Pat Haden to meet the team on the Tarmac when they return?

I am not impressed with Gary Patterson and this #USC defense. No pressure on the QB. Open receivers all day long. I though Patterson was supposed to bring an upgrade

Acts 15: The sharp disagreement over John Mark. One man washed out early. Another (Demas) started strong and later deserted. Mark recovered. Demas drifted. How you finish matters more than how you start. bit.ly/Devo011023 #BibleStudy #Devotional

Not every division is sinful. Sometimes faithful people with different strengths simply cannot continue together — and God still advances His work through both. Paul & Barnabas prove it. Acts 15 bit.ly/Devo070821 #BibleStudy #Devotional

A Pivotal Council in the Early Church (Acts 15) Some said: “Unless you are circumcised… you cannot be saved.” Peter’s reply: “We believe that we are all saved the same way, by the special favor of the Lord Jesus.” Faith alone Grace alone bit.ly/Devo011421 #BibleStudy

What is Baptism? To be baptized into Christ = to be united with Christ. That’s the heart of Romans 6. The spiritual reality happens at faith. The water is the outward sign of that new identity. bit.ly/Devo070526 #BibleStudy #Devotional

Is it immoral to be wealthy? Luke 12: Jesus calls the rich man a fool — not because he was rich, but because he stored up earthly wealth without a rich relationship with God. Greed is the problem. Not wealth itself. bit.ly/Devo051021 #BibleStudy #Devotional

In my latest post "Einstein, the Jehovah's Witnesses and the "Fudge Factor", I reference a story @DrFrankTurek tells in his book "I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist" and share how that relates to the Jehovah's Witnesses bit.ly/Devo091626

Why did Nineveh repent so quickly at Jonah’s preaching? Because they had already heard what happened to him. It was a sign that God had sent him. Jesus points to the same kind of sign — His death and resurrection. Luke 11 bit.ly/Devo062426 #BibleStudy #Devotional

What do Einstein and the Jehovah's Witnesses have in common? When the data doesn’t fit the preferred conclusion… some people introduce a “fudge factor.” It happened with Einstein. It happens with the Jehovah's Witnesses. bit.ly/Devo091626 #BibleStudy #Devotional

It’s not how you start, but how you finish! 2 Timothy 4: Demas started strong… then deserted Paul because he loved this life. Mark started weak… then became useful to Paul. Your past doesn’t have to define your finish. bit.ly/Devo011023 #BibleStudy #Devotional
