Article for Wednesday March 18, 2026 John 12:40–41 40 “He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, lest they see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them.” 41 Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory and spoke of him. Isaiah saw Jesus Christ not so much in the flesh as he saw Jesus in the Spirit of God. Isaiah was not influenced by man but by God. The world we live in is more influenced by man because the world w

Article for Sunday March 15, 2026 John 9:39–41 39 Jesus said, “For judgment I came into this world, that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind.” 40 Some of the Pharisees near him heard these things, and said to him, “Are we also blind?” 41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no guilt; but now that you say, ‘We see,’ your guilt remains.” Jesus speaks to the man He healed from being blind at birth and now can see.

Article for March 8, 2026 Romans 5:1–8 1 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. We truly believe and know that our works and obedience to the law does not save us. We put our faith in that Jesus Christ has justified us to the Father who opens the gateway to everlasting life.

Article for Wednesday March 4, 2026 Repentance extends beyond confession alone ; true believers must desire reconciliation with God and resolve to cease serving sin, self, or other authorities, instead committing to live according to God’s will. Merely admitting wrongdoing while refusing to submit to God’s truth about change doesn’t constitute repentance—rather, repentance means agreeing with God’s evaluation of sin and willingly following His direction forward. Positi

Article for Sunday March 1, 2026 Romans 4:1–3 1 What then shall we say was gained by Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh? 2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. 3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” There is a massive amount of people who believe they need to be good to go to church. Also, there are as many who think only the good will go to hea

Article for Wednesday February 25, 2026 Matthew 12:38–39 38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying, “Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you.” 39 But he answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. Many people do not believe there is a God because they do not see Him. Many people want to see at least a sign or miracle that will make them believe. And many want a

Article for February 15, 2026 Romans 5:12–14 12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned— 13 for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. 14 Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come. We are starting the season of Lent.

Article for Ash Wednesday February 18, 2026 Matthew 6:19–21 19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” I have said this before; we put more importance on this life than we do on our real life to come.

Article for February 15, 2026 2 Peter 1:16 16 For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. Oh, to be an eyewitness to the coming and life of Jesus Christ. So many years has passed since one saw Jesus Christ with their own eyes.

Article for Sunday February 8, 2026 Matthew 5:17 17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. Jesus Christ has made Himself known to the world around Him. Not the whole world but in part that which is the people of God, the Israelites.

Article for February 1, 2026 Micah 6:8 8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? God has told us through His word what is good and right and bad and wrong. Yet the world wants and thinks it has the right to choose for themselves what is right and what is wrong. And the people who believe, or say they believe, step aside many times and let the world rule. Our world

Article for January 25, 2026 Matthew 4:12–14 12 When [Jesus] heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee. 13 And leaving Nazareth he went and lived in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali, 14 so that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: We know that Jesus was born in Bethlehem and moved to Egypt for a while to escape from Herod who wanted Jesus dead.

And the favor of God was upon him. 41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. 42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up according to custom.
