A Gospel That Will Not Stay Down

In Acts 14–15, the gospel advances through violence, resistance, and internal conflict. Paul rises from the stones, walks back into the city, and the early church fights to guard salvation by grace alone. This devotion explores why the gospel spreads with difficulty and why clarity is always worth the cost.

Crossing the House of a Centurion

In Acts 9:31–11:18, Peter crosses a threshold that reshapes the early church. This devotional reflection retells the moment the gospel entered a Gentile home, revealing how God grants repentance leading to life without distinction and unites His people through Christ.

Why Churches Fight—And How to Stop It

Strife within the church is a long-standing issue, rooted in selfish desires and conflicts among believers. James highlights its causes, dangers, and remedies, emphasizing humility, prayer, and submission to God as essential for fostering unity. Recognizing the internal enemy is crucial to overcoming division and reflecting Christ’s love.
