Day 351: No Eulogy for Mr. Phillips (Philippians 3:8-9)
What does it mean to live a life so centered on Christ that even your funeral points away from you? A pastor reflects on a faithful church member whose final request—“No eulogy. Keep it about Jesus.”—embodied Paul’s words in Philippians: counting everything as loss compared to knowing Christ.

Day 345: Made Known to All Nations (Romans 16:25-27)
Paul ends Romans with a roll call, not a rulebook. The obedience of faith doesn’t terminate in ideas—it creates a community. And when the curtain closes on Paul’s greatest letter, the stage is full.

Day 358: Always Learning, Never Arriving (2 Timothy 3:7)
“Always learning” can sound like a virtue—but Paul warns Timothy that learning without obedience can become a trap. Scripture isn’t meant to be mastered; it’s meant to transform us. The journey matters, but only if it has a destination.

Day 356: New and Improved (Hebrews 8:13)
We love the latest and greatest—new phones, new tech, new upgrades. The writer of Hebrews uses that same logic to make a bold theological claim: in Christ, the old covenant has been made obsolete.

Day 344: Wake, Not Woke (Romans 13:11
In a world where “woke” has become a political lightning rod, Romans 13:11 calls believers to something far deeper and far older: waking up from spiritual slumber. Paul urges us to rise, not because the darkness is frightening, but because the dawn is breaking and Jesus is near.

Day 343: Two Chains (Romans 8:29-30; Romans 10:13-15)
In hip-hop culture, two chains symbolize higher status. In Romans 8 and 10, Paul describes two chains far more important: the unbreakable chain God forges in salvation, and the mission-chain that must remain strong if the gospel is to reach the world.

Day 342: Counting Stars With Aging Eyes (Romans 4:18-21; Genesis 15:5)
Abraham was an old man with tired eyes when God told him to count the stars. Thousands of years later, even with telescopes that peer to the edge of the universe, we’re no closer to numbering them. And maybe that’s the point: God calls us to trust promises we cannot yet see.
