The Outlaw Always Meets the Judge

David Allan Coe’s death is a sobering reminder that rebellion is never freedom. In this devotional on Luke 19:11–27, Pastor Rich Bitterman reflects on outlaw country, “The Ride,” the judgment of Christ, and the mercy still offered to sinners through the gospel.

The World Is at War with Christ

Psalm 2 shatters the illusion that the world’s power is ultimate. Nations rage, rulers plot—but Christ reigns. His throne is not waiting on permission. This Psalm is a warning to rebels and a comfort to the faithful: the world is at war with Christ, but the war is already lost. The King has been enthroned—and His rule is forever.
