Day 9 – Renewing the MindRomans 12:2“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…”Transformation does not begin on the outside. It begins in the unseen place of thought.Many people look for sudden change. A moment. An experience. A single encounter that will shift everything at once. While moments with God are powerful, they are not meant to replace the p...  Read More

Day 8 – Inconsistency ExposedGalatians 6:9 (KJV)“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”There is a quiet battle that many people face, and it is not always visible on the outside. It is not a lack of desire. It is not even a lack of understanding. It is inconsistency.You can know what is right.You can feel conviction.You can even start strong.But i...  Read More

Day 7 – The Little ThingsSong of Solomon 2:15 (KJV)“Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines…”There is a tendency in all of us to watch for the big things.The obvious failures.The major sins.The moments that would clearly derail our walk with God.And while those things do matter, Scripture brings our attention somewhere much quieter… and often much more dangerous.“The little foxes...  Read More

Day 6 – Lordship, Not LanguageLuke 6:46 (KJV)“And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?”There is a difference between recognizing who Jesus is and allowing Him to actually lead your life.It is possible to use the right language.To say the right things.To declare truths about Him that are completely accurate.And yet still remain in control.Jesus is not confronting ignorance...  Read More

Day 5 – The Mirror of the WordJames 1:23–24 (KJV)“For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.”There is something uniquely honest about a mirror.

Day 4 – Hearing vs DoingJames 1:22-23 KJV“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves…”There is a quiet danger that does not look like rebellion.It looks like agreement without action.It sounds like “amen” without obedience.It feels like conviction that never turns into change.Scripture makes something very clear. It is not just sin that deceives a person. It is he...  Read More

Day 3 – Conviction RestoredJohn 16:8 (KJV)“And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:”Conviction is often misunderstood.

It is not God turning His face away. It is, in fa...  Read More

Day 2 – The Danger of FamiliarityMatthew 13:15 (KJV)“For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed…”There is a quiet danger that does not announce itself loudly.

Day 1: Awareness of DriftHebrews 2:1 (KJV)“Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.”There is something sobering about the way Scripture speaks of spiritual loss. It does not always describe a fall as sudden or catastrophic. Instead, it often reveals a quieter danger, a gradual movement, almost imperceptible, that ...  Read More

Embracing the Unworthy: The Radical Love That Changes EverythingThere's something profoundly uncomfortable about unconditional acceptance. We live in a world of earned positions, deserved rewards, and justified judgments. Yet woven throughout Scripture is a narrative that turns our merit-based thinking completely upside down—a story of a Father who runs toward the undeserving, who celebrates the r...  Read More

From Pastor Matt Cottrill“Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and everyone that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.” (I John 4:7 KJV) Most people enjoy games that pass the time, encourage interaction, and crown a winner. That was definitely the case a few years ago, in a community game that ran rampant in Connecticut called kindness bingo. Cards were picked up at the local li...  Read More
