Today’s Walk in the Word

On the first day of the week we came together to break bread.                    —Acts 20:7 Have you noticed that an increasing number of calendars, especially the week-at-a-glance genre, start the week with Monday rather than Sunday? God gave preeminence to two days of the week—the first […]

When he came to Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples.              —Acts 9:26 Paul wasn’t welcome in Jerusalem. Christians were scared of him, convinced that his reported conversion was a hoax. Barnabas was the only person who believed his story and went to bat for him. It was also […]

His followers took him by night and lowered him in a basket through an opening in the wall.                             —Acts 9:25 Infuriated by his conversion, a gang of Damascus fanatics plotted to assassinate Paul. They posted around-the-clock lookouts by the city gates, […]

We must obey God rather than men!                           —Acts 5:29 It is beneficial to be physically strong, but it is crucial to be strong in principles, morals, and allegiance. Be certain that your allegiance to God is non-negotiable. In a world of confusion, […]

Simon son of John, do you love me?                      —John 21:17 Many a sermon has hammered Peter for his failures. He sank like a rock when fear trumped faith in his water-walking fiasco. He denied friendship with Jesus three times during the Caiaphas trial. Flip side. […]

You did not choose me, but I chose you.                           —John 15:16 31/100 is a notation indicating that the item belongs to a limited edition. Like this. A famous artist creates an original painting; 100 prints of that piece are produced under his […]

My peace I give you … Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.                        —John 14:27 The peace Jesus gives is not exemption from life’s storms, but serenity when navigating those storms—an inner peace that nothing the world throws at […]

You are in me, and I am in you.                   —John 14:20 Remember television before remote control? To turn it on or off, change channels, or adjust volume you got some exercise—took a walk to the set, punched buttons and turned knobs. Now you move only your […]
