What if the day I’m in requires more than I have and more than God will give?

For many, that question feels jarring. It cuts against what we confess.

Calling on the name of the Lord happens when we repent and invoke Jesus' name in baptism.

And now everything true of Jesus becomes true of us.

His empty tomb becomes our empty tomb.

His resurrected life becomes our resurrected life.

That's how the promise is fulfilled.

What did Peter mean when he said, ‘Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved?’

The answer might surprise you. On the Day of Pentecost, Peter didn’t end with an altar call…

He ended with water.

The crowd was stunned.

They cried out: “What shall we do?”

Peter didn’t say: just believe or pray a prayer.

He said:

Repent
Be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ
Receive the Holy Spirit
(Acts 2:38)

Rest. You don’t have to fear the future—because there is no place you will go where God’s goodness and mercy won’t follow.

It is in the fractures of our strength that the fullness of God's power shines through.

So don't hide your weaknesses; don't pray them away.

Instead, like the Apostle, boast in them—for it is there that you find God's power, a power that turns weakness into witness.

@RickWarren Yes, you will find the real Jesus in the middle— amid the world’s pain and suffering. You’ll find Him at the focal point, confronting sin and destroying death. You’ll find Him at the center, ruling and reigning uncontested over all creation.

When the widow stood before the unjust judge, she had no reason to believe he’d listen—yet she kept coming.

Faith isn’t about perfect conditions or immediate answers; it’s about persistence. When we feel dry, when we feel unheard, when we feel dispirited, faith prays anyway.

A quiet epidemic has overtaken many Christians. #prayer

@CSLewisDaily Neglecting the weekly gathering is foreign to Scripture. The Bible is clear—the whole church is needed to witness to Jesus’ Lordship and remind the powers of their defeat.

When someone misses, the church is weaker, like a body losing a limb.

Is baptism necessary? #baptism #Jesus #Bible

[Derrick Weeks @derrickweeks]

Awesome! A witness of God’s power and grace.

@sola_chad Ch. 7 makes clear that Israel under the law is the subject. And Paul makes the point that the more Israel tries to do what’s right, the more the law responds with “You have broken me.” Paul writes this way so he can reveal that God wanted to condemn sin in Jesus. See Rom. 8.
