Andy Talks

In today's Reflection with Andy, we explore 1 Corinthians 6:1–11, where Paul challenges believers to handle conflict differently from the world around them. Rather than rushing to judgment or insisting on our rights, Paul calls Christians to pursue reconciliation, value relationships, and even risk being wronged for the sake of the gospel. Along the way, we wrestle with one of our deepest fears—being taken advantage of—and ask what it would look like to extend the same generous grace to others that God has so freely given to us.Join us for our daily reflections.

As we continue through 1 Corinthians, we come to one of Paul's most difficult chapters—a passage about church discipline, accountability, and protecting the witness of the Christian community. Rather than encouraging judgmentalism, Paul calls the church to lovingly confront patterns of unrepentant sin that damage both individuals and the body of Christ. In this episode, we explore the difference between condemnation and accountability, why integrity matters for the church's witness, and how grace and truth always belong together in the life of a healthy Christian community.Join us for our daily reflections.

In this Wednesday reflection on 1 Corinthians 4:14–21, Paul's shift from sarcasm to direct fatherly warning crystallizes around one line: the kingdom of God depends not on talk but on power. It's easy to mistake the volume of our talking about faith for actual faithfulness — to feel like we're participating in the gospel because we say the right things, while our actions tell a different story. Paul is coming to find out which it is, and his arrival will come either with love and gentleness or with correction, depending on what he finds.Join us for our daily reflections.

In our Tuesday reflection on 1 Corinthians 4:1–13, Paul's biting sarcasm — already you have become kings! — skewers the Corinthians' tendency to boast about their gifts as though those gifts were their own achievement. Paul's point is simple: if what you have is a gift, the praise belongs to the giver, not the recipient. Humility is the only appropriate response to grace. But the heart of the reflection lands on verse 10 — we are fools for the sake of Christ — and the deeply countercultural math of the gospel. When reviled, bless. When slandered, speak kindly. When persecuted, endure. None of that makes sense by the world's standards, and that's exactly the point. Grace that makes too much sense probably isn't grace — real grace is always a gift that wasn't earned, always looks a little strange from the outside, always challenges the world's ledger of fairness and retaliation. Christianity should be a little weird. We serve a God who was raised from the dead, and we ought to live like it — foolishly, joyfully, and fully.Join us for our daily reflections.

In my message from July 12, 2026, we read from Genesis 50: 20 and Romans 8:28. I share my testimony about all that has happened in my life, and I remind us that all things work for good, but not all things are good.  Our pain shapes us, but it does not define us.  The world does not need a perfect church. The world needs a broken church redeemed by the blood of Jesus.

In today's Rooted in Christ reflection, we continue through 1 Corinthians 3, where Paul confronts the divisions within the Corinthian church and reminds believers that true spiritual maturity is marked by unity, not rivalry. We explore why Paul insists that neither the one who plants nor the one who waters deserves the credit—only God gives the growth—and what that means for pastors, churches, and our own faith. Along the way, we consider the importance of building our lives on the only foundation that can withstand life's fires: Jesus Christ. This episode is an invitation to pursue unity through the Holy Spirit, resist placing our trust in human leaders, and rest confidently in the faithfulness of Christ, our firm foundation.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

What does it mean to have "the mind of Christ"? In today's reflection, we conclude 1 Corinthians 2 by exploring the work of the Holy Spirit in shaping our hearts and minds. Paul reminds us that God's wisdom isn't discovered through human intellect alone but is revealed through the Spirit, who sanctifies us and helps us see the world through Christ's eyes. Through Scripture, prayer, worship, Communion, and serving others, the Holy Spirit transforms us day by day. If we want to grow in faith, the path is beautifully simple: read your Bible, pray, worship with God's people, and allow the Spirit to form the mind of Christ within you.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In our reflection on 1 Corinthians 2:1–5, Paul's declaration — I resolved to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified — becomes a call to keep the main thing the main thing. Drawing on C.S. Lewis's concept of mere Christianity and the historic framework of the Apostles' Creed, the reflection distinguishes between the foundation of the faith — Jesus Christ, his life, death, resurrection, and return — and the secondary issues that denominations and theological traditions legitimately differ on. Those secondary things matter, but they are not the foundation, and it's dangerously easy in our current moment to spend most of our energy arguing about them while neglecting the simple gospel the world is actually hungry for. Paul's deliberate weakness is equally instructive: he came not with rhetorical power but in fear and trembling, so that faith would rest on God's power rather than human persuasiveness. Your preacher didn't save you. No theological tradition saved you. Only Jesus. And it's only Jesus the world needs to hear about today.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

Why does Paul call the message of the cross "foolishness"? In today's reflection, we explore why the Gospel challenged both Jews and Greeks in the first century—and why it still challenges us today. Rather than trusting in human wisdom, religious achievement, or personal strength, Paul reminds us that Jesus Himself is our wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. God doesn't call us because we've got life figured out; He calls us because of His grace. Our greatest witness isn't how impressive we are—it's simply telling others what Jesus has done for us. So today, if you're going to boast, boast in the Lord.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In today's reflection, we begin to see the divisions that plagued the church in Corinth as believers argued over their favorite leaders instead of keeping their focus on Christ. Paul reminds us that pastors and teachers are simply servants whose calling is to point people to Jesus, not themselves. Along the way, we also see Paul's wonderfully human personality shine through—a reminder that God doesn't wait for us to become perfect before using us. Ultimately, every disagreement, preference, and personality must give way to the cross of Christ, because the church has always been, and always will be, about Jesus.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In his first message at FUMC Starkville, Andy shares a little about what he believes and the foundations of his ministry. It's all about Jesus and His love! 

In this episode, Andy begins a new journey through 1 Corinthians, introducing Paul's deeply personal letter to one of the most diverse—and divided—churches in the New Testament. After exploring the background of Corinth and why this letter remains so relevant today, Andy reflects on Paul's opening words of grace, gratitude, and encouragement. Before addressing conflict, Paul reminds the church of who they are: people being transformed by God's grace. The central message is one we all need to hear—God is faithful. No matter what this week brings, God is still at work in our lives, strengthening us, calling us, and inviting us to live each day with purpose and hope.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In this final standalone reflection before beginning a new Bible study series, Andy reflects on Jesus' High Priestly Prayer in John 17:20–24, where Jesus prays not only for His first disciples but for everyone who would one day believe—including us. Exploring the difference between unity and uniformity, this episode considers why Christian unity is so difficult, why it matters so deeply to Jesus, and how only the Holy Spirit can shape us into a people who truly love one another. As we celebrate Independence Day and prepare for a new season together, we're reminded that one of the Church's greatest witnesses is not that we all think alike, but that we love alike.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In today's reflection, we turn to Zephaniah 3:14–18 and one of the most beautiful images in all of Scripture: a God who rejoices over His people with singing. Together we'll explore what it means to be loved by God, why the prophets continue to speak hope into seasons of uncertainty, and how our understanding of ourselves changes when we remember that the Bible begins not with humanity's failure, but with God's declaration that His creation is "very good." This reflection offers an encouraging reminder that God's grace is greater than our past, His love is constant, and every new day is an opportunity to hear His voice calling us His beloved.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

Today we look at Isaiah 43:18–21, and are reminded that God is always at work doing "a new thing," even in seasons of uncertainty and transition. Spoken originally to Israel as they faced exile, God's promise to make "rivers in the desert" demonstrates that He brings life and hope where none seems possible. While our past experiences—both successes and failures—shape us, they do not define us. Like Peter, Paul, and John Wesley, we are continually renewed by God's grace. The invitation is to stop living captive to yesterday, trust that God is already working ahead of us, and faithfully join Him in the new work He is accomplishing today. Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

Today, we start a new season of our Reflections as we reflect on Lamentations 3:21–25, We see that new beginnings are grounded in hope. Looking to the example of Jeremiah, who proclaimed God's faithfulness while witnessing the destruction of Jerusalem, we remember that following Christ does not guarantee an easy life, but it does offer a meaningful one sustained by God's steadfast love. Faith is trusting God's presence even when circumstances are painful or uncertain, believing that His mercies are "new every morning." Whether life is joyful or difficult, we hold fast to God's faithfulness, knowing that every new day is evidence of His grace and that hope remains because God never abandons His people.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In my final service at St. Matthew's, we read from Romans 16. We are reminded that our church is not any one person, but it's all of us together. But in the end, none of that truly makes our church what it is. Jesus is all that really matters.

In our Traditional message from May 31, Andy shares with us one of his many, many favorite passages of scripture. In this passage, we see what the worldview and path are for us as Christians.  Love. The life and path we are called to walk as Christians is love.

In this final reflection on Ecclesiastes 12, the Teacher brings the entire book to its ultimate conclusion after wrestling with wisdom, pleasure, mortality, anxiety, and the fleeting nature of life. After exploring nearly every avenue for meaning, Ecclesiastes ends with a simple but profound truth: “Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of everyone.” The devotion explains that fearing God is not about terror but about reverence, awe, and recognizing God’s greatness and holiness. From that reverence flows obedience, which Jesus ultimately summarizes as loving God and loving neighbor. The reflection closes by emphasizing that, after all the searching and existential struggle in Ecclesiastes, the purpose of life is found not in wealth, success, or control, but in faithfully loving God and others.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In this reflection on Ecclesiastes 11, the Teacher continues offering wisdom sayings while wrestling with anxiety, uncertainty, and the temporary nature of life. Though Ecclesiastes often feels filled with angst and existential frustration, the chapter also points toward an important truth: life is fleeting, and recognizing that reality can bring wisdom and clarity. The devotion explores how human beings naturally worry about aging, death, and the uncertainties of the future, yet Scripture invites believers to hold those fears in perspective. While this life is beautiful and full of meaningful gifts, it is not ultimate. The worries consuming us now will eventually fade in light of eternity, and Christians can live with hope because there is something greater still to come in Christ.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In this reflection on Ecclesiastes 9:17–10:20, the Teacher continues exploring the value and limitations of wisdom. While wisdom is portrayed as better than foolishness, stronger than weapons, and worthy of pursuit, it still cannot remove life’s uncertainty or guarantee control over the future. The devotion contrasts the Teacher’s growing cynicism with the Christian conviction that wisdom itself is not the ultimate goal—Jesus is. The reflection wrestles honestly with anxiety, uncertainty, and the human desire to control outcomes, ultimately suggesting that true wisdom is not found in mastering the future but in trusting that God is already present there. Even when life feels uncertain, believers can rest in the promise that wherever the future leads, God will meet them there.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In Ecclesiastes 9, the Teacher points out that life is uncertain, death comes for everyone, and the things we often chase—success, power, recognition, possessions—cannot give lasting meaning. The Teacher’s repeated call to “eat, drink, and be merry” is understood not as a call to shallow living, but as an invitation to find meaning in community, shared meals, conversation, and time with the people we love. The heart of the message is that relationships, not achievements or possessions, are where lasting value is found, so we should intentionally prioritize the people who matter most to us.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

Ecclesiastes 8:9–17 wrestles honestly with the unfairness and brokenness of life in a fallen world. While the Teacher becomes cynical as he sees evil rewarded and justice delayed, the message for Christians is different: we are called neither to deny injustice nor to surrender to it. Instead, we are called to resist evil, remain faithful, and hold on to hope because we belong to the God of resurrection. For believers, even the worst things—including death—are not the last things, because God is still at work and his final word is not despair, but hope.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In our Traditional message from Pentecost Sunday, Andy shares with us from Acts 2: 1-21. We see how God restores what sin has taken. In Babel, sin leads to division, but Pentecost restores that, and through the Spirit, we have unity.

In this reflection on Ecclesiastes 8:1–9, the Teacher wrestles with the complicated relationship between wisdom, authority, and faithful living. While Scripture calls believers to respect and pray for governing authorities, the Bible also shows prophets confronting unjust leaders, reminding us that our ultimate allegiance belongs to Christ rather than any earthly power. Drawing from examples like Nathan confronting David and Augustine’s reflections in The City of God, the devotion explores the tension of living as citizens of both the “city of man” and the “City of God.” Christians are called to work for the good and flourishing of their communities, but politics, patriotism, or civic identity can never bear the full weight of the soul. Only Jesus can serve as the true foundation of meaning and identity, and faithful civic engagement should flow from that deeper allegiance to Christ.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In this Thursday reflection on Ecclesiastes 7:15–29, the Teacher's closing observation — God made human beings straightforward, but they have devised many schemes — frames the whole passage as a meditation on wisdom and its limits. The Teacher says it's good to take hold of wisdom without letting go of the acknowledgment that you might be wrong, and the reflection develops that into a pastoral word about the relationship between conviction and humility. Drawing on Dr. Harold Bryson's memorable line — show me a man who thinks he's wrong — and the calculus principle that the right work built on a wrong assumption still produces the wrong answer, the reflection argues that humility isn't weakness but a commitment to staying teachable. We should believe what we believe with conviction. But we should hold that conviction with enough openness to keep growing, keep learning, and keep giving the Spirit room to correct us. The Teacher keeps bumping into his own imperfection throughout Ecclesiastes, and that's actually a healthy place to live — because if you don't think you need to grow, you won't.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In this Wednesday reflection on Ecclesiastes 7:1–14, the Teacher's seemingly morbid observations — that the house of mourning is better than the house of feasting, sorrow better than laughter — are rescued from mere pessimism and read as genuine wisdom about suffering and formation. The reflection is careful not to romanticize suffering or suggest we should seek it out; Christianity calls for life, not martyrdom. But suffering, when it comes, has a way of refining us, forming us, and pulling us closer to God in ways that easier seasons simply cannot. Drawing on Stephen Colbert's striking observation — you grow to love the thing you wished had never happened — and the lived experience of painful rebukes from trusted mentors, the reflection makes the case that we learn our most important lessons not in the feasting but in the mourning. For those in a hard season: God has not left you, his rod and staff are with you, and Romans 8:28 is still true. For those in an easier season: hold onto what the hard times taught you, because those lessons are worth keeping.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In this reflection on Ecclesiastes 6, the Teacher continues wrestling with the emptiness of life when meaning is sought in wealth, pleasure, work, or achievement. Though these things are not inherently bad, they cannot bear the full weight of the human soul or provide lasting peace and purpose. The passage serves as a warning against building our identity on temporary earthly things—whether money, politics, sports, approval, or success—because all eventually fail under the weight we place on them. Only Christ can serve as the true “load-bearing wall” for our souls, providing the lasting meaning and identity we were created to find.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In our message from May 17, 2026, Andy shares with us from Acts 1: 6-11.  Jesus sends us out to the people we know and love, as well as to the people we are tempted to hold with contempt, to be His witnesses, to show all the world His goodness and grace.

In this Monday reflection on Ecclesiastes 5, the chapter's three movements — reverence, humility, and contentment — are unpacked with practical pastoral honesty. The call to guard your words before God and take your vows seriously is a word about integrity: promises to God and to each other matter, and we shouldn't make them lightly. The observation that oppression and injustice are everywhere is not meant to depress but to inoculate — don't be surprised when the world is broken, because we were never promised otherwise, and being realistic about that keeps us from being crushed by it. And the Teacher's recurring refrain — eat, drink, find enjoyment in your toil, for this is the gift of God — is finally named as a call to contentment and faithful presence in the present moment. We cannot control the future, and the anxiety about it can be paralyzing. But we can be faithful today, with the task in front of us, loving God and loving neighbor — and the reflection closes with a conviction: if we're all doing that, somehow, through God's grace, good is going to come of it. Hope is not fragile. It drags itself off the floor and goes another round.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In this Friday reflection on Ecclesiastes 4:9–16, we see the Teacher's familiar refrain of vanity gives way to a genuinely hopeful word: two are better than one, and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. The reflection unpacks Wesley's concept of social holiness — often misunderstood as primarily about social action, when Wesley actually meant something more intimate: the communal accountability of the class meeting, where people who deeply loved each other held each other to faithfulness not out of judgment but out of care. Holiness, for Wesley, was never a solo project. And one of the genuinely destructive forces of modern life — even as we're more "connected" than ever — is the loss of that deep, honest, prayer-soaked Christian friendship. The practical challenge is direct: who are your people? Who prays for you? Who do you call when your world falls apart? Who loves you enough to tell you the truth? Find those people, stay close to them, and give them permission to speak into your life — because we cannot do this thing alone.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In Ecclesiastes 3:16–4:8, the Teacher reaches perhaps his lowest point — wickedness in the place of justice, the tears of the oppressed with no one to comfort them, and the devastating conclusion that the never-born are better off than the living. The reflection uses this as an entry point into how to read Ecclesiastes responsibly: it is wisdom literature and poetry, not history, and building a theology out of isolated verses here would lead somewhere very dark very fast. But the deeper gift of this passage is that it gives us language for the times we genuinely feel this way — overwhelmed, cynical, unable to will ourselves to feel better. Toxic positivity doesn't help anyone, and Scripture's willingness to name the darkness honestly is one of its great gifts. The caution, though, is that we cannot stay there. Cynicism, left to take root, rots the soul. We cannot only tell the story of Good Friday — we have to tell Easter too. Name the darkness, give it to God, and then keep walking toward what is beautiful and true.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In this Wednesday reflection on Ecclesiastes 3:9–15, one phrase anchors everything: God has put a sense of past and future into their minds. We are wired to look backward and forward simultaneously — to remember, to plan, to worry, to dream — and that tension so often pulls us out of the only moment we actually inhabit: now. The Teacher keeps returning to the same simple refrain throughout his searching: eat, drink, take pleasure in your toil — it is God's gift. The present moment is the gift. Social media has made this harder than it's ever been, training us toward constant comparison and doom scrolling and dissatisfaction with wherever we are. But God meets us here, now, in the ordinary. More than half the church calendar is spent in Ordinary Time — not Advent or Easter, just regular days — because most of life is ordinary, and ordinary time is holy too. The call today is simple: don't let the past or the future steal the gift of the present. Live fully in this moment, because this is where Jesus meets us.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In this Tuesday reflection on Ecclesiastes 3:1–8 — the passage made famous by the Byrds' Turn! Turn! Turn! — the full sweep of human experience is named honestly and without pretense: birth and death, planting and uprooting, weeping and laughing, war and peace, love and hate. The wisdom literature, like the Psalms, is a gift precisely because it names what we actually feel and go through, and reminds us that we are never the first to walk through any of it. Read in the context of Ecclesiastes as a whole, the Teacher isn't celebrating these seasons but cataloguing them — life is a steam train that keeps coming whether we're ready or not, and so far nothing he's tried has given it meaning. But the pastoral word is this: no season is permanent. If you're in a time of weeping, a time of laughing is coming. If you're in a time of breaking down, a time of building is coming. God walks with us through all of it. And the meaning we're searching for — which the Teacher hasn't found yet — will ultimately only be found not in the seasons themselves, but in Jesus Christ, whose presence makes us more than what any season can define.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In our Traditional sermon from May 10, 2026, Andy shares with us from John 14: 15-21.  Jesus promises not to leave us orphaned.  With changes in life, church, and the world, we can feel unsettled, like wet cement.  But then we remember that Jesus writes His name up the wet cement of our hearts.

In this Monday reflection on Ecclesiastes 2:12–26, Solomon's existential spiral — the wise and the fools both die and are forgotten, and whoever comes after me might waste everything I built — is met with a gentle diagnosis: delusions of grandeur, and the worrier's tendency to catastrophize. But buried in the despair is a landing worth holding onto: there is nothing better for mortals than to eat and drink and find enjoyment in their toil, for this is from the hand of God. The reflection pushes back against the cultural pressure to live a life of spiritual drama and cinematic significance — the cage match with the devil, the extraordinary calling, the remarkable testimony. Most of us are just going through life as moms and dads, coworkers and neighbors, doing the same things in the same patterns week after week. And that is not failure. That is faithfulness. The call isn't to be great — it's to find meaning in the toil of this ordinary moment: a smile, an open door, a word of encouragement, a kindness nobody will notice or remember. In those small things, done faithfully, something beautiful can be found.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In this Friday reflection on Ecclesiastes 2:1–11 — offered on Mother's Day weekend, with a pastoral acknowledgment that the day lands differently for everyone — the Teacher's second experiment in the search for meaning is examined: pleasure. Having tried wisdom and found it vexing, Solomon goes the other direction entirely, becoming history's most extravagant hedonist — houses, vineyards, gardens, silver, gold, concubines, everything his eyes desired, nothing withheld. And the verdict is the same: vanity, a chasing after wind, nothing to be gained. The reflection connects this to a very contemporary reality: we live in an age of unprecedented access and instant gratification, and we may be among the most meaning-starved generations in history. Having everything you want doesn't fill the hole — it proves the hole is still there. The mind is fallen, and so are our desires. Just because something feels good doesn't mean it satisfies. A life worth living cannot be built on getting what you want, and Solomon is learning that the hard way so we don't have to.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In this Thursday reflection on Ecclesiastes 1:12–18 — appropriately falling on the National Day of Prayer — the Teacher's surprising conclusion that wisdom itself is vanity is unpacked honestly and personally. On the surface it seems to contradict Proverbs and the Psalms, which celebrate wisdom as a gift worth seeking. But Solomon's point isn't that wisdom is bad — it's that wisdom alone, pursued as a source of meaning, leaves you empty and vexed. The reflection gets personal: those of us who lean analytical and distrust emotion can fall into the trap of thinking the mind is somehow exempt from the Fall. It isn't. Both heart and mind are equally in need of Jesus. And in a world drowning in information — where something happens anywhere on earth and we know about it in seconds — there's a real and contemporary application: more knowledge does not equal more peace. What is crooked cannot be made straight by analysis alone. Sometimes the best way out of the quagmire is simply to do what you know is true — love your neighbor, serve somebody, pray — rather than waiting for enough information to finally make sense of everything.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In this Wednesday reflection that opens a new series in Ecclesiastes, the shift from the New Testament epistles to Old Testament wisdom literature is grounded in a simple observation: we are always searching for meaning, and most of the things we search in come up empty. The Teacher — almost certainly Solomon — opens with one of Scripture's most sobering refrains: vanity of vanities, all is vanity. Generations rise and fall, the wind circles, the sea never fills, and most of us will be forgotten within a few generations. Rather than finding that depressing, the reflection finds it liberating: there is nothing new under the sun, which means we are not alone in our struggles. The same search for meaning, the same temptations, the same sense of emptiness in earthly things — people have faced all of it before us. Solomon had everything the world could offer and still found himself asking whether any of it meant anything. The answer Ecclesiastes is building toward, and the answer the reflection points to now, is that meaning cannot come from accomplishments, stuff, status, or even the people we love most. Only Jesus can be the source of meaning that holds — and when he is, everything else finds its proper place.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In this Tuesday reflection that closes out Jude, the letter's final movement is from warning to mercy. Jude tells his readers to remember what the apostles predicted — scoffers will come, driven by their own desires, causing division — but then pivots immediately to the posture of the faithful: build yourselves up in faith, pray in the Spirit, keep yourselves in God's love, and look forward to the mercy of Christ that leads to eternal life. And then, critically, show that mercy to others — the wavering, the wandering, even those caught in sin. The reflection weaves in two personal life verses — Romans 8:28, which doesn't say all things are good but that God brings good from everything, and Romans 2:4, which says it is the kindness of God that leads to repentance — to make the central point: we are not saved by our goodness, but by God's mercy. And since mercy is God's very nature, and we are being made into his image, mercy should increasingly be ours too. The world is full of people who need to know they are loved. That is our call.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In this Monday reflection on Jude 5–16, the letter's central concern becomes clear: these false teachers are not being led by the Spirit but by their own unchecked desires — almost certainly the Gnostics encountered in Second and Third John, who believed the body was irrelevant and therefore lived however they pleased. Jude's devastating poetic description of them — waterless clouds, twice-dead trees, wild waves, wandering stars — paints the picture of lives completely unmoored. The deeper question Jude raises is one of captivity: we are all captive to something, and the only choice is whether we'll be captive to God and his Spirit or to our own desires. One leads to life; the other to destruction. Make me a captive, Lord — that's the prayer. The reflection also pauses on a fascinating detail: both the story of Michael disputing with Satan over Moses's body and the prophecy of Enoch come not from Scripture but from Jewish legend and extra-biblical texts. Jude quotes them not to canonize them, but because his audience knew them and they illustrated his point — a reminder that the Bible was written by real people in real cultural contexts, and knowing that context only helps us understand it better.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In this Friday reflection on Jude 1–4, Jude's urgent appeal to contend for the faith is set against a backdrop we've seen all week: the problem of wandering teachers. Where Third John commended a church for receiving the right teachers, Jude warns a church that has received the wrong ones — intruders who have twisted grace into a license for anything-goes living and in doing so have denied the lordship of Jesus Christ. Along the way, a brief but helpful explanation of the biblical canon clarifies why missing letters from Jude or Paul, however interesting, wouldn't simply be added to Scripture — every book that passes the fourfold test of apostolic linkage, correct time frame, correct doctrine, and universal church recognition is already there. The practical word for today is discernment: not every voice calling to you is the voice of the Good Shepherd. The tests are simple — does it glorify Jesus? Does it draw you closer to him? And does the person bearing the message show the fruit of the Spirit? If not, Jude's word is clear: be careful what you listen to, and contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In this Thursday reflection on Third John, the letter's central cast — faithful Gaius, self-promoting Diotrephes, and well-regarded Demetrius — illuminates a practical question about the early church: how do you know whether to trust a wandering preacher? The answer is apostolic authority and community accountability, which is part of how ordination developed — a traceable chain of trust, so that the community could verify who sent the teacher and what they stood for. Gaius earns John's highest praise for supporting these traveling ministers even as strangers, and John frames that support with a beautiful phrase: we may become co-workers with the truth. The reflection turns that phrase into a direct word for laypeople today — your encouragement, your prayers, your practical support of the ministers in your life genuinely matter, and Scripture says so. The contrast with Diotrephes, who puts himself first and actively undermines apostolic authority, makes the point even sharper. The call is simple: do good, imitate what is good, encourage someone today — because when you do, you are co-laboring in the truth.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In this Wednesday reflection on Second John, the short letter is read in full and unpacked around its central warning: many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. John's call to love one another is clarified — love here is not emotion but obedience, commitment, and self-sacrifice — and his instruction not to welcome false teachers into the house is about guarding sound doctrine, not refusing hospitality to strangers. The heresy John is combating is Gnosticism, the earliest major challenge the church faced, which taught that the physical body was corrupt and irredeemable, and therefore that Jesus didn't really come in the flesh, die, or rise bodily. The reflection pushes back firmly: the post-resurrection accounts are full of physicality — touching wounds, eating meals, walking roads — because Jesus was fully human and fully divine, and both matter. Wrong theology about the body also produces wrong living, since Gnosticism's logical conclusion was that it doesn't matter how you live. And in a modern application, social media has made functional Gnostics of many of us — we forget that the person on the other side of the screen is a real human being made in the image of God, with a body and a soul. People matter. Physicality matters. Jesus came in the flesh, and so do we.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In this Wednesday reflection on 1 John 4:1–6, the familiar verse — greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world— anchors a practical and pastoral call to discernment in a noisy world. We serve a mighty God who doesn't need us to defend him; the gates of hell will not prevail, and nothing will thwart his plan. But that confidence in God's strength is paired with a real responsibility: test the spirits, because not every voice claiming to speak truth is from God. Three practical tests emerge from the passage — does it confess Jesus as Lord? Does it produce the fruit of the Spirit? And does it create fear? Healthy caution is one thing, but voices that constantly inflame anxiety and dread are not from God — the same God who told Joshua over and over, do not be afraid, for I am with you. The call is simple: be intentional about what you let shape your soul, and build your life around the voices that draw you closer to Jesus.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In this Tuesday reflection on 1 John 3:11–24, the passage's command to love one another is grounded in the defining act of love itself — Christ laying down his life — and extended outward: love not just in word, but in truth and action, and not just toward fellow believers, but toward neighbors and enemies too, because the whole of Scripture leaves no room for a narrow definition of who deserves our love. The commandment John lands on is beautifully simple: believe in Jesus and love one another. We make faith far more complicated than it needs to be. But the heart of the reflection is verses 19 and 20 — a passage the preacher has carried since early faith: whenever our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. So many of us are weighed down by guilt, regret, and internal condemnation that quietly becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. John's answer isn't to minimize the weight of that — it's to say that God, who knows every single thing about us, loves us still. You don't have to keep carrying it. You are loved more than you can imagine.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In this Monday reflection on 1 John 2:29–3:10, a passage full of beloved verses — the Father's lavish love in calling us his children, the funeral liturgy promise that when he is revealed we will be like him, and the declaration that the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil — John also presents an apparent tension: if we say we have no sin we deceive ourselves, yet those born of God cannot sin. The resolution isn't that Christians achieve sinless perfection, but that the children of God are never content in sin — we give the Spirit room to convict us, we confess, we receive forgiveness, and we keep moving forward. The honest pastoral word is that we often struggle with the same sins repeatedly, and that's frustrating. But God's grace is not limited by our failures. Using the image of a rope being cut and knotted back together each time we are forgiven, the reflection pictures grace as the very thing that draws us progressively closer to God — so that even in our stumbling, he is pulling us nearer.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In this Friday reflection on 1 John 2:18–28, John's warning about "the antichrist" gets reframed in a way that's far more practically useful than the endless game of identifying one singular villain — whether that's Mikhail Gorbachev's birthmark in the '80s or whoever's being cast in that role today. John's real concern is the plural: many antichrists, defined simply as anyone who denies the Father and the Son. The more honest question for us is how we ourselves deny Christ — not in our stated beliefs, but in our actions, our words, and the company we keep on social media and beyond. The reflection lands on a pointed diagnostic: look at the voices you allow to speak into your life, and ask what they're producing in you. If the fruit is anger, contempt, and division, those voices are pulling you away from Jesus regardless of how righteous they sound. John's closing word is simple: abide in him — and be very careful what you let shape your soul.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In this Thursday reflection on 1 John 2:7–17, John's "old-but-new" commandment turns out to be exactly what we talked about yesterday: love. And love, John argues, is the most reliable marker of whether we're actually walking in the light — because you can't claim to be in the light while hating your brother or sister. Actions don't save us, but they do reveal us, the way fruit reveals what kind of tree you're dealing with. Drawing on Matthew 25, Tertullian, and the witness of the early church, the reflection makes the case that love for one another — across doctrinal lines, across differences, within the whole household of faith — is the thing that should make the watching world stop and take notice. Then John flips the contrast: don't love the things of the world — wealth, status, the approval of others, the endless desire for more — because all of it is passing away. What's eternal is love: love of Jesus, love of neighbor, love that is God's own perfect love shed in our hearts. That's the mark. That's what lasts.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In this Wednesday reflection on 1 John 2:1–6, the phrase "the love of God has reached perfection" becomes a springboard for a pastoral tour through one of Methodism's most distinctive — and most misunderstood — doctrines: Christian perfection. The passage holds the same honest tension as the previous chapter: we are going to sin, Christ has atoned for it, and we have an advocate. But the deeper question is what perfection actually means. The reflection pushes back against the common assumption that holiness is a legalistic checklist of moral performance — don't play cards, don't see movies, don't listen to secular music — and argues instead that Christian perfection, in the Wesleyan sense, is never about perfect action but about God's perfect love being restored in us through sanctifying grace. The goal of salvation, as Wesley understood it, is the recovery of the image of God — which enables us to keep the greatest commandment: love God fully and love your neighbor as yourself. That's what holiness looks like. And it's why the means of grace — Scripture, prayer, communion, fasting, community — matter so much: they are the channels through which that love grows and changes us.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.
