The older I get, the more I long for a simple life. Wake up early. Do hard things. Eat real foods. Obsess over something. Spend time with real ones. Read books. Avoid drama. Never gossip. Be grateful. That’s my definition of a good life.

The Holy Spirit's work in our lives:

"The Spirit's work is invisible, the effects are highly visible. What is He doing in us? He produces a desire for repentance, a hatred of sin, a desire to seek salvation & forgiveness. He produces in us a belief in the gospel."

—MacArthur

The Bible Reading Order That Actually Changes You

Most Christians read the Bible randomly and wonder why they're not growing.

Here's the battle-tested reading plan that builds warriors, not wanderers:

Phase 1: Learn How to Fight

Start with 1 Peter. It'll teach you what suffering as a Christian actually means. It'll kill your selfish ambition and show you why following God for personal gain is spiritual suicide.

Then hit these in order:
- 1 & 2 Corinthians (church mess and how to fix it)
- Ephesians (spiritual warfare manual)
- Philippians (joy in prison)
- 1 & 2 Thessalonians (end times reality check)
- 1 & 2 Timothy (leadership under fire)
- James (faith that actually works)
- 2 Peter, 1-3 John, Jude (false teachers exposed)

These books don't just tell you stories. They teach you:
- How to BE a Christian, not just play one
- Who God actually is vs. who you think He is
- What He'll do for you (and what He won't)
- His promises that never fail
- His personality that terrifies demons

Phase 2: Learn How to Worship

Psalms. All of it.

This is where you learn God's emotional range. His fury. His tenderness. His jealousy. His love. This is where you learn to pray like you're in a war zone, because you are.

Phase 3: Learn How to Conquer

Joshua and Judges.

Watch what happens when God's people obey.
Watch what happens when they don't.
Watch how quickly victory becomes defeat when you forget who's really in charge.

This isn't a reading plan for information.
It's a training manual for transformation.

Most "Bible reading plans" are designed to make you feel accomplished.
This one is designed to make you dangerous.

Stop reading Scripture like it's homework.
Start reading it like it's intel for tomorrow's battle.

Your enemy reads it too.
The difference is, he believes it.

Time you did the same.

Satan Can Fake Everything Except This

Satan can counterfeit miracles.
Manufacture spiritual experiences.
Masquerade as an angel of light.
Fool the elect with signs and wonders.
He can imitate love—the possessive kind that serves itself.
He can imitate faith—the self-confident kind that trusts its own strength.
He can imitate worship—the theatrical kind that makes much of the worshiper.
But humility?
True humility breaks the devil's back.

Because humility requires complete death to self. And Satan has never died to anything. He's spent eternity asserting, demanding, grasping, climbing.
The idea of voluntary descent is foreign to his nature.
Look at Christ washing feet. The Creator handling the filth of His creatures. This isn't just service—this is cosmic humiliation. The King doing slave work with tenderness.

Satan can counterfeit the crown.
But he cannot counterfeit the towel.

The towel requires what Satan lost when he said "I will ascend."
It requires willingness to descend.
To go lower.
To become less.
To serve rather than be served.

This is why humility is spiritual warfare.

When you truly humble yourself, you're wielding the one weapon Satan has no defense against.

He can counter your prayers with distraction.
He can counter your faith with doubt.
He can counter your love with selfishness.

But when you kneel? When you serve? When you choose the lower place?
He's got nothing.

Satan's entire identity is built on the lie that he can be like God. Every move flows from this delusion. He believes he deserves worship, deserves the throne, deserves to be served.
Humility requires him to admit he was wrong about his fundamental worth.
This is literally impossible for him. His nature is so corrupted by pride that humility would be his annihilation.
Which is why it's our greatest weapon.
When we humble ourselves, we enter a realm Satan cannot follow. We take ground he cannot contest. We operate where his power has no jurisdiction.

True humility isn't thinking less of yourself.
It's thinking of yourself less.

It's the husband who apologizes first, even when he's only 10% wrong.
The wife who honors leadership even when she could do it better.
The parent who admits mistakes instead of defending their image.
The leader who serves followers instead of expecting service.

It's taking the lower place when every instinct screams to fight for the higher one.
Washing feet when everyone else jockeys for thrones.
Carrying crosses when the world promises crowns.
Here's what Satan will never understand:
Humility isn't weakness.
It's ultimate strength.

Humility is so strong it can afford to be gentle.
So secure it can serve.
So confident it can be last.

This drives demons to flight. They're confronted with power they cannot understand, cannot imitate, cannot overcome.

They watch humans—creatures they consider inferior—operating with strength they've never possessed and never will.

"Humility is the only thing that no devil can imitate."

So pick up the towel.
Get on your knees.
Choose the lower place.
Serve instead of seeking to be served.

Not because you're weak, but because you're strong enough to be weak.
Not because you're worthless, but because your worth comes from God.

The moment you truly humble yourself, you step into the realm of the impossible.

You become a living contradiction to everything hell stands for.
A walking testimony that there's another way, another kingdom, another King.
And Satan can do nothing but watch you disappear into grace he'll never know and strength he'll never possess.

Because humility is the only thing no devil can imitate.
And that's exactly why it wins.

God wants dependency. You have to depend on him always.

[King John Douglas I of the UK @realJohnDouglas]

Before John MacArthur died, he was receiving physical therapy. Yet, even at the end of his life, he continued to share the gospel. Today, a month after his death, his physical therapist was baptized before the brethren, having been shown the truth of Christ by MacArthur.

The Old Testament isn’t that complicated when you realize it’s all leading up to Jesus coming.

MacArthur on the non-negotiables of Christianity (with a subtle jab at Sproul on baptism 😅):

"There are some absolutely non-negotiable truths":

1. The Trinity and deity of Christ
2. Christ's substitutionary death
3. Salvation by grace through faith
