Wisdom for the Heart

Share a comment Kindness feels scarce right now, and it is tempting to answer sarcasm with sarcasm and insults with “just telling the truth.” We go to Titus 3 because Paul refuses to let believers drift into the mood of...

Share a comment Rome didn’t need another angry letter. It needed a different kind of person. We pick up in Titus 3 and ask what it looks like to represent the city of God while living in the city of man, especially when...

Share a comment The pressure to quit on culture is real and it is growing. When you watch faith mocked, morality redefined, and even public prayer treated like a problem, it can feel easier to pull back into a safe...

Share a comment Two houses can look identical until the river rises. That’s the unsettling logic Jesus uses at the end of Luke 6:46–49, and it’s where we land in this message from Stephen Davey on Wisdom for the Heart...

Share a comment If you have ever looked around and thought, “I can’t believe they did that,” Jesus has a way of turning the mirror back toward us. We open Luke 6 and listen as Jesus pulls the curtain back on what real...

Share a comment “Judge not” might be the most quoted Bible line in public arguments and one of the least understood. We slow down and follow Jesus’ words in Luke 6:37 alongside Matthew’s parallel teaching to uncover...

Share a comment If your faith went on trial tomorrow, would there be enough evidence to convict you? We sit with that uncomfortable question and trace it all the way to a surprisingly hopeful promise: Scripture paints a...

Share a comment Anger that flares up and “passes in seconds” can still scorch a relationship for days. We dig into Paul’s blunt line from 1 Corinthians 13, “love is not irritable,” and the original word picture behind...

Share a comment Criticism can harden you or soften you, and the difference shows up in how you treat people who have nothing to offer you. We start with a surprising window into Abraham Lincoln’s presidency: mocked...

Share a comment The “secret” to spiritual growth is usually the thing we least want to hear: go back to the fundamentals and stop looking for shortcuts. We connect Paul’s fruit of the Spirit with Peter’s call to “make...

Share a comment Pressure has a way of stripping life down to what’s real. We start with Paul’s blunt, relieving honesty: believers can be afflicted, perplexed, and even struck down, yet not crushed, not forsaken, not...
