1 Timothy 3
Reading for Tuesday, August 21: 1 Timothy 3 In this chapter, Paul spells out qualifications for church leaders: elders and deacons. It’s interesting that Scripture lays out the qualifications for these men, but no qualifications for “ministers”, at least … Continue reading

Reading for Wednesday, July 18: Matthew 28 In this final chapter, Matthew’s Gospel reaches its glorious culmination: the first day of the week becomes the first day of a new reality, a new Kingdom order. Jesus walks out of … Continue reading
James 5
Reading for Friday, June 8: James 5 James continues his treatise on economy, this time turning to address the rich. His language is stunning, even biting, especially to American ears. What are we to make of his indictment? “Come now, … Continue reading

Acts 26
Reading for Friday, May 11: Acts 26 First off, Happy Mother’s Day weekend to all the Moms out there. Today I’m giving thanks for the women of faith who have been a part of my life: my wife, my mother, … Continue reading
