1 Corinthians 13: 6-7
English Standard Version
it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

I want to give a great big shout-out to Dawn Stivers and Bev McKelvey. Last night’s Bible study was one of the best.
The teaching on RightNow Media walked us through 2 Samuel 11–12 — the story of David’s sin. If you don’t know it well, take the time to read it. It will challenge you in the best way.
What really struck me was how the teacher explained that the innocent child born as a result of David’s sin became part of the painful consequence that ultimately led David to repentance. Then he drew the connection — the Child born of a virgin, Jesus, who paid the price for all of our sin. What a powerful contrast: one child as a consequence of sin, another Child as the cure for sin.
Then Dawn brought it even closer to home by reading 2 Samuel 12:14:
“However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, the child also who is born to you shall surely die.”
That verse is sobering. Our actions don’t just affect us. The way we live and serve the Lord either honors Him or gives others reason to doubt Him.
People are watching. They are watching to see if we truly are who we say we are.
Let’s serve Him with integrity, humility, and gratitude — remembering that our lives preach even when our mouths are silent.
Great job Ladies!!!

From the Corner of Race and Washington Street:
The sunrise this morning is absolutely beautiful. The kind that makes you pause for just a second before the traffic starts moving and the day begins pulling at you.
Last night at dinner the conversation wasn’t so much about the Super Bowl as it was about the halftime show… and even more than that, about the division in America right now. This side angry at that side. That side frustrated with this side. Lines drawn. Voices raised. Hearts hardened.
It made me think about the Pledge of Allegiance. There’s a word in it we probably say without thinking: indivisible.
It means unable to be divided or separated.
And yet division feels like the loudest voice in the room these days.
When Jesus began His ministry, people thought following God was about power, position, and proving you were right. But Jesus told a different story. He sat with sinners. He touched lepers. He spoke with Samaritans. He crossed lines that others had drawn in the sand.
He didn’t come to win arguments.
He came to win hearts.
In John 16:33, Jesus says, “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” He didn’t say we’d have peace because everyone agrees. He said we’d have peace because He has overcome.
Beloved, we are better together. The adversary loves division. Scripture says a house divided cannot stand. But a people anchored in Christ? That’s different. That’s strong. That’s indivisible in a way that politics and opinions could never accomplish.
As followers of Jesus, maybe our calling isn’t to shout louder — but to love deeper.
Not to conquer one another — but to serve one another.
Not to divide — but to reflect the peace of the One who overcame.
The sunrise doesn’t pick sides. It just shines.
Maybe we should too.

Just a Thought
From the Corner of Race and Washington Street

I was thinking about the gym the other day.

You walk in and you see all kinds of people.
Skinny people. Not-so-skinny people.
Some who are working hard. Some who look like they’re hardly working.

But here’s what I’ve noticed:
When they leave, they all walk out like they accomplished something.
They came with a purpose.
They didn’t show up just to look at the equipment — they showed up to use it.

Now think about that when it comes to Jesus.

When we come into a relationship with Him, you’ll see all kinds of people there too. Different backgrounds. Different stories. Different struggles. But the common thread should be this: we leave with purpose.

Jesus didn’t save us so we could sit spiritually on a bench.
He saved us so we could live fully.

John 10:10 reminds us:

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”

The enemy would love nothing more than for us to shrink back, hide our faith, tuck our light neatly under a basket, and blend in with the shadows.

But this world isn’t getting any lighter on its own.
God gave His Son so that we could reflect His light.

Maybe it’s time to work those spiritual muscles.
Maybe it’s time to flex a little Jesus when we walk into work, the store, the school, the neighborhood.

Walk in with purpose.
Walk out with purpose.
Live like you’ve been changed.

Don’t let the enemy convince you to hide.
You were made to shine.

Just a thought…

From the Corner of Race and Washington Street:
Do you remember the game we played as kids — Red Light, Green Light?
One voice controlled the movement. When it said “red light,” you stopped. When it said “green light,” you went. Simple. Clear. Obedient.
This morning, as I looked out the window, I noticed the temperatures are finally rising. The snow and ice are melting. The traffic is moving again. Intersections are busy. Life feels like it’s saying, “Green light! Hurry up! Go! Go! Go!”
And I felt it too — that pressure to move faster, to accomplish more, to check the next thing off the list. But I had to stop and ask myself: For what?
Jesus never seemed hurried.
He moved with purpose, but never panic.
He would withdraw and pray.
He would spend time with the Father.
And then He would simply say to His disciples, “Let’s go.”
Not rushed. Not frantic. Just obedient.
In Luke 8:26–39, Jesus crosses to the “other side.” No rush. No drama. Just obedience to where the Father was leading. And when He arrives, everything changes — because Jesus happened.
A tormented man becomes whole.
A hopeless man becomes a witness.
The man begs to go with Jesus, but Jesus tells him, “Go back. Show your people what God has done for you.”
Green light.
And he went.
He didn’t just go anywhere — he went with purpose. He went with testimony. He went with a story about what Jesus had done.
Maybe that’s the lesson for us standing at our own intersections today.
Sometimes we rush ahead without praying.
Sometimes we freeze when God says move.
Sometimes we confuse busyness with obedience.
But what if the key isn’t moving faster — it’s listening better?
Maybe today isn’t about hurrying through every green light.
Maybe it’s about waiting until He says “go.”
And when He does?
Go tell. Go serve. Go love. Go show what God has done in you.
The melting snow reminds me — seasons change. Intersections come. Decisions wait.
Let’s not run ahead of Him.
Let’s not lag behind Him.
Let’s move when He moves.
Just a thought…

From the Corner of Race and Washington Street:

The view this morning is breathtaking—the kind that makes you stop for a second and just look. Of course, the cold is doing its best to remind us it’s still winter. Beauty and bite, side by side.

As I was reading my Bible with a warm cup in my hand, I landed on the moment when Joshua meets the angel of the Lord. Joshua asks a very human question: “Are you for us, or for our enemies?”
And I love the answer: “Neither. I have come as the commander of the army of the Lord.”

That answer stops me every time.

Joshua doesn’t argue. He doesn’t explain himself. He falls flat on his face. In that moment, Joshua understood his position—and more importantly, God’s. He takes off his sandals and listens. He follows.

Beloved, do we understand our position? Do I?
So often, I want God on my side, backing my plans, following my commands. But God was never meant to be our assistant—He is the Commander.

The army of the Lord stands ready, yet many days I try to lead the charge myself. Joshua didn’t do that. He surrendered. He obeyed.

What’s keeping you—and me—from doing the same today?
Maybe it’s fear. Maybe pride. Maybe just the habit of wanting control.

Let’s trust Him. I truly believe He has ordered our steps—if we’re willing to take off our sandals and listen.

Just a thought,
from the corner of Race and Washington Street.

Seize the Opportunity -

Some days never come. Go to the effort. Invest the time. Make the apology. Take the trip. Do it! The seized opportunity renders joy. The neglected brings regret.

Remember Mary’s extravagance in pouring expensive perfume over Jesus’ head? And Jesus’ disciples criticizing her. “Why waste that perfume?” they said. “It could have been sold for a great deal of money and given to the poor” (Matthew 26:8-9). Do not miss Jesus’ prompt defense of Mary in Matthew 26:10: “Why are you troubling this woman?” he said. “She did an excellent thing for me.”

Don’t miss Jesus’ message. There is a time to pour out your affections on one you love. When the time comes, seize it! - Max Lucado
