Holy Spirit (391)
  1. Have you ever received a gift for which you were less than thrilled, but you had to pretend you really liked it so as not to offend the giver?
  2. Only because He is an outsider can he afford the costly fee insiders could never afford no matter how hard they work.
  3. We prefer this to be switched around. We want something to happen in us before anything happens outside of us.
  4. This is the third installment in our special series on Luther’s Heidelberg Disputation. Translation of Theses 5 and 6 by Caleb Keith.
  5. Too often, we equate “repent” as the final warning to stop a particular sin before God ceases to love you and sends you to hell for your evil deeds.
  6. I can pretend for a little bit, but as soon as the phone is put away and it’s just me and my sin, I am fearful about what my walk says about me. I know what I should do, but I can’t quite seem to do it.
  7. No matter which side, it’s easy for all of us to build Bible verses into grenades aimed at obliterating the political other.
  8. I don’t know if you’re like me or not, but ideas can kick around in my head in a big jumble for awhile and then, all of a sudden, something random makes all of the pieces come together.
  9. In God’s eyes, the last day has already happened in Jesus. We’ve already been made alive in Jesus, raised with him, and seated with him at the Father’s right hand.
  10. The following is an excerpt from Martin Luther’s Commentary on Saint Paul’s Epistle to the Galatians (1535), translated by Haroldo Camacho (1517 Publishing, 2018).
  11. When we imagine we’re living an evil-shunning, virtue-practicing, morally superior Christian life, the problem is not that our halos are too small, but that our heads are too big.
  12. No worry, no fear. Nothing she can do can separate her from the love of Christ!
