Does your life matter? According to Paul, the answer lies at the very heart of the gospel. Read, and be encouraged.

Here’s my attempt to describe the “love chapter“ with different words so that I don’t just skim Paul’s familiar and powerful message to us. Read this and then read 1 Corinthians 13 and ask God to help you love others as he loves you.

Never forget what’s most important. Whether we discuss business, family, government, our health, or other concern, there has to be a foundation. There are basics and fundamentals we build upon. As Paul nears the end of 1 Corinthians, he reminds the church about the foundation.

Fathers and sons need each other, but even if you didn’t get the wisdom you need from your dad, look for it. Wisdom is out there for those who seek it.

Day by day by day, we find new ways to bring our lives closer to the ideal God has in mind for us. We hope these devotions help you on that journey, and we think at least one of this week’s posts is worth your considering again.

The atheist . . . the article about pornography . . . and an insight about coping with the sin in our lives.

The Corinthian Christians were immature in many ways, but nowhere was this more serious than in what they misunderstood about spiritual gifts.

No matter the adversary, God will help you prevail. But to get his greatest help we may need to sacrifice our first instinct.

Competition is an expected component of our life in this culture. But the apostle calls us to something different, even more challenging, and ultimately the way to peace.

I always root for the old guy, especially one like Phil Mickelson whose self-discipline bought him to success. So . . . why do we exercise spiritual self-discipline? That’s what I’m thinking about today.

I loved the first popovers I’ve ever tried. But I don’t think they make a good model for our faith.

Living for God is a daily challenge, accompanied by blessings new every morning. How have our posts this week helped you day-by-day? Which of them means most to you as you begin a new week?

When we see even the basic attributes of Christianity lived out among us, we always notice. Love. Serve. Remembering a life that showed us how.

If I were to acknowledge all who have made my leadership possible, it would be a very long list, indeed!

Paul dealt with the problem centuries ago as he wrote to the ancient church in Corinth. And, sadly, we’re still dealing with it today, even in the church we know.

Rest was good for King David, and it’s good for us. But then he let his rest settle into self-indulgence, and his problems became worse than ever.

400 years of silence preceded John the Baptist’s call to repent. And now, after another 400 years of silence about racial injustice in our great country, we have some repenting to do, too.

This is the third day I’ve been thinking about how we can please God even though we’re not perfect. The Bible hero David gives us much to consider on this score.

On a weekend for remembering, here are reminders of our posts this week. Which one will you share with a friend?

It’s good to remember our national heroes. It’s important to remember that Jesus is so much more than a hero.
