I Am the Door | John 10
Doors and gates are things that we likely don't give much thought to until they are in need of repair—and while the truth is that they are usually constructed to keep people or animals out, they can also certainly be opened to let them in.

21 Days of Prayer and Fasting: Looking for a Change
It's safe to say that we all desire to pray bold prayers, grounded in God's Word and fueled by his Spirit. So why is it that we often find ourselves settling for a prayer life that is characterized more by timidity than audacity? Bold prayer, prayer that truly changes things, isn't just reserved for the select few—rather, it is something that all believers can and should practice.

The book of Jonah ends in a curious manner, with a surprising cliffhanger of a question posed to Jonah.

Extensions of Mercy | Jonah 1
Why do we often struggle to show mercy to others? Perhaps, we think, the other person doesn't really deserve to be shown mercy—after all, they have offended us deeply. How could we possibly be expected to forgive them?
