We want you to CONNECT with God through His Word, Prayer, & Worship.
Today, call out to Him in prayer. Ask Him to "open your eyes" as you read through the scripture.
As you observe the scripture, we encourage you to take notes.
Notice the emotions, reasons, and context. Make sure to note what God wants you to know or do after reading the scripture.
Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter!
- Isaiah 5:20
There's a dangerous combination that can develop in religious circles: biblical knowledge separated from a loving heart. When we know Scripture well but lack love, we can actually weaponize God's Word against the very people He wants to reach. This creates a form of religion that looks spiritual on the surface but operates with a cold, judgmental heart. The Pharisees were experts in Scripture, yet they completely missed Jesus when He stood right in front of them. Their knowledge had become divorced from love, making them blind to God's mercy in action. We can fall into the same trap today. We can study theology, memorize verses, and understand doctrine while our hearts grow cold toward people who are hurting. True spiritual maturity isn't just about what we know - it's about how that knowledge transforms us into more loving, compassionate people. Knowledge without love makes us dangerous, not helpful.
Explore & examine the areas of your life that God needs to come under the truth. Take a moment to commit & surrender these areas in prayer.
After, tell and share with others what God is teaching you! Try this:
*Share your encouraging takeaways with others on your social media, or share your story with us. We want to celebrate with you!
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
- Hebrews 13:8
