Whatever the situation a simple "Lord, help me" focuses our dependence upon God instead of our own willpower and brings the Spirit's aid to us.

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

God’s law is not a way of achieving the grace of his acceptance. God’s law is a gift of grace to people upon whom he has already placed his love.

[Trevor Sheatz @TrevorSheatz]

The culture wants us to stay quiet about the truth of God. We must stand firm on his word regardless of what it costs us. Our allegiance belongs to Christ alone.

[Philip Nation @philipnation]

Come to the Bible prayerfully. Read it carefully. Obey it joyfully.

[Codie Sanchez @Codie_Sanchez]

Monk mode is the single dumbest thing I've heard in my entire existence. If you want to make more money and change your life you should do the opposite of that... Leave your house. Meet people face to face. I can attribute most of the success in my life to getting outside.

[Jerry Bridges @bridgeswisdom]

Joy is a fruit of the Spirit, the effect of His ministry in our hearts. It's by the power of the Holy Spirit that we experience the joy of salvation and are enabled to rejoice even in the midst of trials.

🏛️ The Temple Timeline of Scripture 🏛️

From the wilderness tabernacle to Solomon’s temple, from Christ’s body to the Church, from the temple in heaven to the kingdom temple yet to come, this chart traces the entire temple story from Genesis to Revelation. More than a study of buildings, it is the story of God restoring access to Himself through redemption. Along the way, it corrects common misconceptions, clarifies future prophecy, and reveals how every temple ultimately points to Jesus Christ and the day when “the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it” (Revelation 21:22).

The Transfiguration of Jesus is humming with Old Testament language, themes, and imagery.

It begins with the setting. In Matthew 17:1–8, the phrase “after six days” echoes Moses waiting six days on Sinai before God spoke from the cloud (Exod. 24:16).

The “high mountain” recalls Sinai, Moriah, Nebo, and other sacred peaks where God revealed himself. It also evokes Isaiah 40:9: “Go on up to a high mountain…[and proclaim] “Behold your God!”

From the outset, the scene invites us to read this theophany—indeed, the entire New Testament!—with Hebrew glasses on.

As the event unfolds, those connections broaden and deepen. Jesus’ face shines, recalling Moses’ radiant face after encountering God (Exod. 34:29), but here the glory in Jesus is not reflected; it is intrinsic to him. The imagery also resonates with Ezekiel’s vision of the radiant man on God’s throne (Ezek. 1:26–28).

Then Moses and Elijah appear, representing the Law and the Prophets, the whole witness of Israel’s Scriptures. They speak with Jesus about his coming “exodus” (Luke 9:31), a word crowded with meaning, pointing to the new and greater act of redemption.

Peter responds by suggesting three tabernacles. Though Luke notes he didn’t know what he was saying, his impulse echoes both the wilderness tabernacle and the Feast of Booths, when Israel dwelt in tents to remember their years in the wilderness with God.

While Peter is still speaking, a cloud overshadows them, the familiar sign of God’s presence from the Exodus (13:21-22; 40:34-38). Then comes the divine voice: “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him” (Matt. 17:5). In that single sentence, God weaves together threads from Psalm 2:7, Genesis 22:2, Isaiah 42:1, and Deuteronomy 18:15. The Father gathers the Scriptures into one declaration and directs all attention to his Son.

Everything converges in the Transfiguration. The Law, the Prophets, the exodus, the mountain, the cloud, all find their fulfillment in Jesus.

Look to him and him alone for the full revelation of God.

It is God's nature to be gracious. I encourage you to pray to this end and to realize, as you pray, that you are coming to a God who does not withhold His grace because of demerits.

[Mike Hoffmann @MikeHoffmann]

My perfect day looks extremely boring:

• 5am: wake up, have some coffee
• 5-7am: Deep work, no distractions
• 7-8am: Breakfast with the family
• 8-10am: Train
• 10am-noon: Calls, decisions, build
• Noon-1pm: Lunch, walk
• 1-4pm: Deep work
• 4pm: Done

Freedom isn't a vacation.

It's building a life where the default is already good.

Things school taught me:

• Get good grades
• Go to college
• Get a stable job
• Save money in a 401k
• Hope for the best

Things school never taught me:

• How to negotiate
• How a business actually works
• How to read a financial statement
• How to build income that doesn't require your time

[Kevin Szabo @KevinSzabo14]

You can literally build a multi-million dollar business with your phone these days.

Don’t let anyone ever tell you it’s not possible.

[Matt Smethurst @MattSmethurst]

Goodness. What a prophetic quote from 44 years ago.

[Trevor Sheatz @TrevorSheatz]

A biblical home should look like this:

• Christ is the center
• Parents lead with love, yet also have firm discipline
• The Bible is read and obeyed
• Prayer is normative
• Joy in the Lord is the baseline of each day

When your church can't communicate well, you don't just end up with messy announcements.

It shows up in your discipleship.
Your outreach.
Your growth.
Your mission.

Because every ministry in church runs on communication.

[Trevor Sheatz @TrevorSheatz]

Grace isn't a license to continue in your sin. It is the power that enables you to kill it.

"Sin will not have dominion over you" (Rom. 6:14).

[Codie Sanchez @Codie_Sanchez]

Sometimes you have to remember that God has a better plan for you entirely.

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

Again, we can never be reminded of this enough.
Our identity is only safe in one Person. Jesus Christ!
