You see, a father was silenced, but a nation was saved. A priest doubted, but a prophet was raised. Perhaps God’s discipline was never about punishment, but rather formation. Perhaps Zechariah’s silence was not the end of his voice, but the ultimate refining of it. 12/18/25
REPENT
See, repentance is not just for murder, adultery, and stealing. Repentance is also about trading a former thought for a new thought; changing whatever it is God is calling us to change. If it's stealing, by all means get to repenting. But if it's putting the emphasis on everything but Jesus this Christmas; get after repentance for that just the same. 12/4/24
