In his masterful letter to the Church in Ephesus, it is as if Paul is putting together a massive jigsaw puzzle. He shows how spiritual and material fit together, how male and female, slave and free, and even ethnicity and nationality connect and interrelate in this new creation of the kingdom of God. He reveals for us how the disparate pieces, powers, and principalities insert themselves into the affairs of heaven and earth. He gets granular at the...

No matter how far along on the journey, you never progress beyond this core aspiration: I want to know Christ. It is ever in front of us. It can take time to get there; and be even more challenging to stay there. So why would we make such a declaration? Only one reason-Jesus has already made this kind of declaration toward us. This is the invitation. Paul believed because Jesus had attained to the resurrection of the dead in this life, that it was...

In the Gospels, we see what it looks like when the Holy Spirit perfectly and completely inhabits, possesses, and empowers...

When people mention "the domino effect," they are typically talking about setting up dominos end over end and arranging them into some kind of design in order to tip the first one and begin the chain reaction. But there's another type of domino effect in which a two-inch tall domino can topple a larger domino, which can topple an even larger domino, and eventually topple the Empire State Building. And so it is with Colossians, a treasure trove of...

In What Happens in Corinth, J. D. Walt digs in to the apostle Paul's first letter to the Corinthians. Paul was writing to a fledgling community of about 150 people in a city of 150,000. And these 150 believers were a hot mess. Paul doesn't spend any time wishing for a better church; he works with what God gave him. He knows it only takes a few truly consecrated souls to turn the world upside down.
Though what happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas,...

One of the great realities of scripture is that the most common verses hold the greatest mysteries until the Holy Spirit opens our eyes. So it is with John 3:16-"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." Then what? Surely there's more to the Christian life than just believing. In This Is How We Know, J. D. Walt invites us on a forty-four-day devotional journey...
