Day 094: The Nazirite and the Nazarene (Judges 13-15)
Samson and Jesus could not be more different. And yet, in one surprising sense, Samson still points us to Christ: a promised son, announced before birth, who would begin to save God’s people.

Day 089: Making Sense of the Cycles in Judges (Judges 1-2)
The book of Judges is thrilling, violent, tragic, and painfully repetitive. But Judges is not just Israel’s sin. It is God’s mercy.
-
Day 088: Are you Passing the Baton, or Dropping It? (Joshua 24:31)
Israel served the Lord in Joshua’s day and in the days of the elders who outlived him. But what happens when no one is ready to carry the faith forward?
-
Day 087: Joshua and Yeshua (Joshua 19-21)
How the Old Testament Joshua foreshadows Jesus.
-
Day 085: Caleb’s Different Spirit (Joshua 14:11-12)
At eighty-five, Caleb does not ask for comfort. He asks for a mountain full of giants. His bold faith reminds us how much the church still needs older saints with a different spirit, ready to trust God for one more battle.

Day 083: Obedience is Painful, Disobedience is Deadly (Joshua 5:8-9)
What we try to keep from God, God will expose. But what we entrust to Him, He will protect.
-
Day 079: Does God Really Delight in the Destruction of His People? (Deuteronomy 28:45-47)
When Scripture stretches our theology, it may also be revealing something deeper about both God’s justice and our own stubborn hearts.
-
Day 078: Why do Jews Face East When They Pray? (Deuteronomy 27:11-13)
East was Egypt. East was slavery. East was the wilderness. East was graves in the desert. And yet God used every step of that journey to make His people holy.
-
Day 077: Couldn’t Deuteronomy be More Organized? (Deuteronomy 12:32)
The Torah refuses to be skimmed. It’s not up to me to decide what’s “really” important. Instead of wishing for an index, maybe the right response is worship—thanking God for His law and His grace when we fail.
-
Day 076: Leaders and the Law (Deuteronomy 17:18-20)
Israel’s kings were commanded to write out God’s Law by hand—not to reinterpret it, but to internalize and obey it. The real question isn’t what we know, but whether we live what we claim to believe.

Through the Bible: Deuteronomy 3-4
-
Day 066: A Woman’s Word (Numbers 30:3-5)
Numbers 30 allows a father or husband to overturn a woman’s vow, which can sound troubling to modern readers. But when we step back and look at the whole story of Scripture, we see something deeper: God’s grace for people who say things they later regret. In Christ, even our careless words and broken promises…

Day 064: The Lord in Heaven Laughs (Numbers 23-25)
The story of Balak and Balaam reads almost like comedy: a talking donkey, a king dragging a prophet from mountain to mountain, and twenty-one altars built in a desperate attempt to curse God’s people. But every attempt backfires. The curses become blessings, and even a pagan prophet winds up announcing the coming Messiah. Psalm 2…

Armageaddaboutit (Revelation 19-21)
Revelation 17–19 confronts us with four contrasting pairs—Babylon or the Bride, the dirge or the doxology, the great supper of God or the marriage supper of the Lamb, the rider on the beast or the Rider on the white horse. These chapters show that when God wins, the question isn’t whether He triumphs — it’s…

Day 326: The “Show Me” Epistle (James 2:18)
James isn’t asking how to become a believer, but how to act like one. In this “Show Me” epistle, real faith is visible—shaped, strengthened, and seen.

Day 325: Calling Out the Called (Acts 13:2)
Hundreds of Alabama churches are searching for pastors, and the average age of ministers keeps rising. Acts 13 reminds us that the Holy Spirit is the ultimate Caller—but the church must become the kind of community where calling can be heard, nurtured, supplied, and sent.
