Love is Patient and Kind
Today I'm starting a new series on 1 Corinthians 13 (the love chapter) and it starts with patience. Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 13:4, "Love is patient and kind…" Paul pairs these two attributes of love together because the complement one another. Patience isn't "just sticking it out" or...

Blessed are the Persecuted
Today I'm covering the eighth and final Beatitude which reads, "Blessed are the those who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:10 (NRSVUE) I'm going to be honest here and say that I was not looking forward to doing this particular…

Today I'm covering the seventh Beatitude which reads, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God." Matthew 5:9 (NRSVUE) Jesus is the Prince of Peace. His life, death, resurrection, and return will usher in a new age of peace between God and man. While there may not be...

Blessed are the Pure in Heart
Today I'm covering the sixth Beatitude which reads, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God." Matthew 5:8 (NRSVUE) I asked Grok (X's AI) what it means to be "pure in heart" and this is the response I received: "To be 'pure in heart' is a phrase that often comes up in religious,...

Blessed Are Those Who Mourn
Today I'm covering the second Beatitude in Matthew 5:4 which reads, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." (NRSVUE) Mourning is something many of us don't do well. There's a misconception among Christians that we should always be happy. Think about this, though: If you don't...

Blessed Are the Poor In Spirit
This week I'm talking about Matthew 5:3 which reads, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." (NRSV) Poor in spirit can refer to humility or knowing that you're in need of God's grace. It can also refer to physical poverty but most people see this phrase as more of…
