Recognize and Respond (July 5, 2026)

We've all known someone's birthday was coming, kept it in the back of our minds, and then realized two weeks too late that we never said a word—recognized it, but never responded. In Matthew 8, the demons who meet Jesus call him “Son of God” with more clarity than almost anyone else in the Gospel, yet that recognition leads somewhere unexpected and deeply unsettling.

Don't Be "Don't Be Evil," Be Good (June 29, 2026)

Most of us feel satisfied if we manage not to do evil—if we avoid the obvious wrongs, the cruelties we can see. But there’s a quieter failure Proverbs 3:27–28 names: the moment when you know exactly what good you could do, right now, and you choose not to do it. Google once promised not to be evil as it rose above other tech firms, yet the real challenge—for companies and individuals alike—comes in everyday decisions about whether to give good or hold it back. When does restraint from wrongdoing become complicity with harm?

We Need the Approved Ranch (June 22, 2026)

We can gather up what feels like security, but are we actually secure? Proverbs challenges to make sure we have the right point of security.

We have a lot of things we think are signs of the “blessed life”? Proverbs has a clear answer that challenges our assumptions.

Rabid Sin, Difficult Healing (June 1, 2026)

God’s discipline isn’t a topic we like talking about or facing in any way. It feels intimidating and leaves us wondering if God is angry at us. But Proverbs gives us a different story.

God Is Not a Waiter (May 25, 2026)

Most people instinctively know the difference between ordering at a restaurant and eating at a friend’s table—yet that same distinction somehow disappears in how they approach God. Proverbs 3:9 calls believers to honor the Lord with their wealth and the first fruits of all their produce, not as a business transaction or a path to guaranteed earthly blessing, but as an act of worship that reshapes what winning actually means.

You Gotta Serve Somebody (May 24, 2026)

We crave freedom, but Bob Dylan was right when he sang, “You Gotta Serve Somebody.” No matter how strong that craving, we’ll find ourselves serving either righteousness or unrighteousness.

We can say things like “In God We Trust,” but what do we mean? Do we really trust?
