    Ruleigion

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 13, 2026
     | 91 views

    Jesus confronts rule-based righteousness by restoring the heart of God’s law—mercy, life, and grace centered in Himself.

    Before we turn to Matthew chapter 12, I want to share a new word with you. Are you ready? Here it is: Ruleigion. Not religion — rule-igion. I didn’t invent this word — it was coined by Joshua Harris from Covenant Reformed Church in Hagerstown, Maryland — but it names something Jesus confronts ...read more

    Spiritual growth is all about responding to God's great love. God invites, we enter. God invests, we engage. God intercedes, we endure.

    based on 1 rating
     | 479 views

    God’s purpose for every one of us who are part of His body the church, is that we bear much fruit. Sin and rebellion will prevent us from being fruitful. Let’s not take God’s grace for granted but repent of every sin so we can bear good fruit as God desires of us.

    Today’s meditation is based on the parable that Jesus taught in Luke 13:6-9. We read in Luke 13:6, “Then Jesus told them this parable:”(GNB) The Background to the parable While Jesus was teaching there were some who shared this information with Him. The news they brought to Jesus is found in Luke ...read more

    “From Panic to Praise” is a call to trust Jesus in life’s fiercest storms, reminding us that while faith may be shaken when we focus on the storm, it is strengthened by knowing who is with us and secured by trusting in the sovereign power of our Savior.

    From Panic to Praise Mark 4:35-41; Psalms 95:1-7 The author of Hebrews tells us that “faith is the confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see” (Hebrews 11:1). Faith allows us to stand firmly on the unseen foundation of God’s truth—not because we were ...read more

    One could say we all have a hope meter inside each of us, the amount of hope we have in any given moment. Maybe my hope meter is at 100% full up, I’m centered on hope, this is where jesus wants me to be, in my mind and heart.

    Showing up at the first pastor’s job 3 years ago was pretty scary stuff. It was me, a cook, a caseworker, and a driver. That was it. New officer, scared, unprepared, hoping that somehow, he can make a difference in this crazy world. Not knowing a single person in the city, driving in late at night. ...read more

    How would you respond if God called your name not once, but twice? In the Bible, God calls plenty of people often by name, but I’ve only found seven times where God calls out someone’s name twice in a row. In each instance, what follows is a life-changing encounter with the God of creation.

    When God Calls Your Name… Twice: Martha Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 8/21/2016 For the last few of weeks, we’ve been talking about how you might respond if God called your name—not just once, but twice.
