2 Peter 2 - July 17, 2026

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate Here Today’s reading brings us back to 2 Peter 2, where Peter warns the church that false teachers do not usually arrive loudly denying everything at once. They come in secretly, twisting the Word, reshaping truth, and offering teachings that sound spiritual but are destructive. Their words may be polished, popular, and persuasive, but if they deny the sufficiency of Christ or distort the truth of Scripture, they are dangerous. 2 Peter 2 reminds us that the church must examine the fruit and test every teaching by the Word of God. False words are like plastic fruit—they may look real from a distance, but they cannot nourish the soul. So today, read 2 Peter 2 with discernment: stay anchored to Scripture, reject every destructive heresy, and remember that false teachers have no place in the bride of Christ.

Numbers 22 - July 16, 2026

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate Here Today’s reading takes us to Numbers 22, where Balak tries to hire Balaam to curse the people God has blessed. Balak treats spiritual power like something that can be purchased and weaponized, while Balaam leaves the door open to compromise because his heart is drawn toward reward. God’s word was clear: “You shall not curse the people, for they are blessed.” Numbers 22 reminds us that spiritual position does not guarantee spiritual perception. Balaam could speak about God and still miss what God was doing right in front of him. So today, read Numbers 22 with a sober heart: do not manipulate the things of God for personal gain, do not leave room for compromise, and remember that when the enemy cannot curse from the outside, he will try to corrupt from the inside.

Genesis 19 - July 15, 2026

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate Here Today’s reading takes us to Genesis 19, where the days of Lot show us the danger of compromise, lingering obedience, and a life shaped by the values of a wicked culture. Lot had settled in Sodom, risen in influence there, and lost spiritual weight with his own family. When the warning came, he hesitated, bargained, and lingered—even as judgment was at the door. Genesis 19 reminds us that God’s mercy is real, but His warnings must not be ignored. Lot’s story calls us to obey quickly, lead faithfully, and refuse to let the culture disciple our homes. So today, read Genesis 19 with sober attention: when God speaks, move; when He warns, listen; and when He calls you out, do not look back with longing at what He is delivering you from.

Genesis 7 - July 14, 2026

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate Here Today’s reading takes us to Genesis 7, where the flood comes and Noah’s family is brought safely into the ark. God gives the warning, God provides the ark, God calls Noah in, and God shuts the door. Noah’s obedience shows us what faith looks like when the world mocks, the timing feels strange, and the only thing to stand on is the Word of the Lord. Genesis 7 reminds us that judgment is real, but so is mercy. The ark points us to Christ—the only safe place from the wrath of God. So today, read Genesis 7 and remember: salvation is not found near the ark, around the ark, or admiring the ark from a distance; salvation is found in the refuge God Himself has provided.

2 Peter 2 - July 13, 2026

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate Here Today’s reading takes us to 2 Peter 2, where Peter gives one of the strongest warnings in the New Testament against false teachers. After reminding us that Scripture is the Word of God carried along by the Holy Spirit, Peter warns that false teachers will also rise up, twisting truth, feeding corruption, and bringing destruction into the church from within. 2 Peter 2 reminds us that the church must stay ready, stay discerning, and stay anchored to the Word. False teaching is not harmless; it poisons the bride of Christ and leads people away from Jesus. So today, read 2 Peter 2 with sober attention: humble yourself under the authority of Scripture, guard the truth, and refuse to make room for anything that dishonors Christ and harms His church.

Psalm 1 - July 11, 2026

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate Here Today’s reading takes us to Psalm 1, where the whole book of Psalms begins with the blessed life. The godly person does not walk in wicked counsel, stand in the way of sinners, or sit with scoffers. Instead, his delight is in the law of the Lord, and he meditates on God’s Word day and night. Psalm 1 reminds us that the life rooted in the Word becomes like a tree planted by streams of water. It bears fruit in season, its leaf does not wither, and the Lord prospers what He has called it to do. So today, read Psalm 1 and ask the Lord to make you deeply rooted, wisely separated, joyfully planted, and fruitful in the season He has appointed.

2 Peter 1 - July 10, 2026

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate Here Today’s reading brings us back to 2 Peter 1, where Peter points the church to something more solid than personal experience: the Word of God. Peter had seen the glory of Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration, heard the voice of the Father, and witnessed majesty with his own eyes—yet he still directs believers to the prophetic Word as a lamp shining in a dark place. 2 Peter 1 reminds us that Scripture is not man’s opinion about God; it is the Word of God carried along by the Holy Spirit. The same voice that spoke on the mountain is the voice that speaks through the Scriptures. So today, read 2 Peter 1 and pay attention to the Word: open it, hear it, trust it, and let the voice of God shine light into every dark place.

Matthew 17 - July 9, 2026

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate Here Today’s reading takes us to Matthew 17, where Peter, James, and John see Jesus transfigured in glory. The One who had just spoken of suffering and death now shines with divine majesty, while Moses and Elijah stand with Him, pointing to the Law and the Prophets finding their fulfillment in Christ. Then the Father speaks from the cloud: “This is my beloved Son… listen to him.” Matthew 17 connects directly to 2 Peter 1, because Peter later says he was an eyewitness of Christ’s majesty on that holy mountain. The God who gives a new heart in Ezekiel 36, grafts us into the vine in John 15, and supplies everything needed for godliness in 2 Peter 1 now opens our eyes to the glory of His Son. So today, read Matthew 17 and remember: the glorious Christ is the One who fuels, forms, and calls us to live a life that proves we have seen Him.

Ezekiel 36 - July 8, 2026

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate Here Today’s reading takes us to Ezekiel 36, where God speaks hope to His people in exile. After judgment, rebellion, and ruin, the Lord promises restoration—not because Israel earned it, but because His holy name will not fail. God declares that He will act, He will restore, He will cleanse, and He will bring His people back to Himself. Ezekiel 36 shows us the deeper work of salvation: God removes the heart of stone, gives a new heart, puts His Spirit within His people, and makes dead people fruitful. This connects beautifully to John 15 and 2 Peter 1: the renewed heart abides in Christ, and the abiding life bears the fruit of godliness. So today, read Ezekiel 36 and remember: fruitfulness begins when God does what only God can do—make the dead alive and give His people a new heart.

John 15 - July 7, 2026

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate Here Today’s reading takes us to John 15, where Jesus teaches that He is the true vine and we are the branches. After 2 Peter 1 calls us to grow in faith, virtue, knowledge, self-control, steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection, and love, John 15 shows us where that fruit comes from: not from trying harder, but from abiding in Christ. Jesus reminds us that a branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine. Fruitfulness is the evidence of living union with Him, and spiritual barrenness is a warning sign that something is disconnected within. So today, read John 15 and ask the Lord to strengthen your inward life: abide in Him, receive from Him, and let His life produce fruit through you.
