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 357: On Walking in the North Atlantic (Hebrews 12:1-2)
What Hebrews 12 teaches us about endurance, alignment, and the power beneath our feet.

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. Not discarded Scripture, but fulfilled promises. When the new arrives, the old no longer defines how we relate to God.

Day 337: Opposition and Opportunity (1 Corinthians 16:9)
When God opens a door, adversaries often walk through it too. Paul reminds us that opportunity and opposition usually share an address—and resisting the resistance is part of faithful ministry.

Day 336: Missing the Point of 1 Corinthians 13
1 Corinthians 13 isn’t a wedding poem—it’s a correction written to a church tearing itself apart. Paul wasn’t telling two newlyweds how to feel; he was telling believers how to stop devouring one another. The Love Chapter is less about romance and more about unity, humility, and a love that holds a fractured church together.

Day 335: Run Like It Matters (1 Corinthians 9:24-27)
Paul compares the Christian life to a race where the prize actually lasts. Ancient athletes trained for a crown of celery—literally what we feed guinea pigs—while we run for an eternal reward. Don’t drift or shadowbox your faith. Run like it matters.
