Matthew 10 is one of the most unfiltered, raw, and soul-stretching chapters in the entire New Testament. It is Jesus—unfiltered. Jesus—direct. Jesus—sending ordinary people into an extraordinary assignment. And if you’ve ever wondered what your calling looks like, feels like, or costs, Matthew 10 is the chapter that removes every illusion and replaces it with truth, courage, identity, and boldness. But this chapter isn’t just about the twelve disciples. This is about you.  Yo

Matthew 9 is one of the most breathtaking chapters in the entire Gospel because it reveals something people often forget about Jesus: He never walked past human suffering. He never ignored pain. He never shrugged at brokenness. He never once said, “Come back when you have your life together.” Instead, He stepped directly into people’s wounds, their fears, their failures, and their impossibilities. And in every single moment of this chapter, Jesus shows us who He really is — t

Matthew 8 is one of those moments in Scripture where you can feel the atmosphere shift. It is a chapter where heaven seems to press into earth with a new urgency, where Jesus steps out of teaching and steps directly into action. And every action He takes reveals something about the heart of God that people had forgotten, misunderstood, or never believed was possible. This chapter reads like a series of encounters, but they are much more than stories. They are windows into who

There are people in this world who desperately want God to be real but feel frozen until they see undeniable proof. They aren’t cold. They aren’t faithless. They aren’t rebellious or stubborn. If anything, their hearts are so tender that they fear believing in something that might disappoint them. They fear hoping for something that might let them down. And deep inside, they wonder, “ If God truly exists , why won’t He just show Himself to me in a way I can’t miss?” Some peop

Romans 16 is one of those chapters people rush past, not realizing God hid an entire theology of honor, legacy, loyalty, character, and spiritual leadership in a list of names most readers skip. But the truth is this: you can learn more about a person from the people they surround themselves with than from the words they speak. And in Romans 16 , God pulls back the curtain and shows us the kind of people who helped carry the greatest Christian movement in history. This isn’t

Romans 15 is one of the most powerful chapters in the entire New Testament because it shows us what spiritual maturity actually looks like when the rubber meets the road. Paul is not giving us abstract theology here. He is giving us the blueprint for how a believer grows into someone God can trust with influence, responsibility, and impact. This chapter is the difference between Christians who are saved and Christians who are surrendered. Between believers who attend church a

Hope is one of those words people throw around casually, almost like a bumper sticker, a slogan, or a feel-good idea. But real hope , the kind that God plants inside the human soul, is not thin, fragile, or poetic. Real hope is the quiet strength that holds you together when the world is pulling you apart. Real hope is the light in your chest that refuses to go out, even when every circumstance around you says the darkness should have won by now. Hope is not something you lea

A Legacy Article on Romans 11 Romans 11 is one of those chapters where Paul pulls back the curtain on the heart of God and lets us see something we forget far too often: God is not done with anybody. Not with Israel. Not with the Gentiles. Not with the ones who walked away. Not with the ones who fell. Not with the ones who think they’re too broken to be rebuilt. And certainly not with you. This chapter reads like a long, steady reminder that God never abandons His story. He

Most people do not realize how quietly life can slip by. Days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months, and before we know it, our lives have become a long stretch of blurred routines, unanswered questions, and missed moments. There is a statement that cuts through the fog of all of it, sharp and clear, almost like a trumpet blast calling a person’s spirit awake. It says, You can’t add days to your life, but you can add life to your days . This is more than a quote. This is a

There are chapters in Scripture that read like a theological symphony—chapters where every verse seems to carry divine electricity, charged with urgency, promise, warning, and unstoppable hope. Romans 10 is one of those chapters. It is a chapter where Paul stands almost both prophet and pastor, crying out with fire and compassion, urging anyone who will listen to understand what salvation truly is and how close it actually sits to the human heart. He is not writing theory. H

There are moments in life when the weight you’re carrying isn’t visible to anyone else, yet you feel every ounce of it pressing against your heart. Sometimes you’re the one quietly holding everything together while the world keeps pulling on you from every direction. You give, you show up, you keep moving. And if anyone asked how you’re doing, you’d probably just smile and say, “I’m okay,” even though deep inside you know you’re more tired than you’ll ever admit. Today’s mess

There are chapters in Scripture that read like a mirror, and Romans 2 is one of them. Not a soft mirror. Not the kind you find in a hotel bathroom with warm lighting that makes you look a little more put together than you really are. No— Romans 2 is a bright, honest, unforgiving mirror that doesn’t flatter you. It tells you the truth. It tells you what God sees rather than what you want Him to see. And yet, somehow, in that truth, there is hope. There is mercy. There is a pa

There are moments in Scripture where the world seems to hold its breath. Moments where the sky feels thin, the ground feels holy, and the human heart feels seen. John 21 is one of those moments. It is a chapter not written with thunder, but with whisper. Not wrapped in spectacle, but in softness. Not shaped by power, but by love so tender that strength becomes indistinguishable from mercy. It is the moment when a resurrected Savior steps into the quiet despair of a disciple

There are moments in Scripture that feel like quiet reflections. Then there are moments that shake the foundations of the earth. John 20 is the second kind. It is the chapter where eternity breaks into time, where sorrow is interrupted by a voice, and where the dawn becomes more than morning light — it becomes revelation. John 20 is not just about the resurrection. It is about the God who calls people by name. It is about the Savior who walks into fear-filled rooms. It is a

When the World Held Its Breath: A Wix Reflection on John 19 There are chapters in Scripture that inform you. There are chapters that inspire you. And then there are chapters that completely stop you in your tracks. John 19 is one of those chapters. This is the chapter where the world holds its breath. Where heaven watches in silence. Where love steps forward and refuses to retreat. Where the deepest wounds produce the greatest healing. Where Jesus does not simply preach the m

There are moments in Scripture where Jesus speaks with unusual clarity, honesty, and tenderness. John chapter 16 is one of those moments. It is the final night before the crucifixion, and Jesus sits with His disciples, fully aware of what is coming—fully aware of the emotional shock they are about to experience, fully aware of their confusion, fully aware of their fear. They, however, sense something shifting but cannot see the full picture. They know intensity is rising, b

There are moments when life finally slows down just enough for you to feel everything you’ve been avoiding. Moments when the noise clears, the world grows quiet, and suddenly the weight inside your chest becomes undeniable. It’s not exactly sadness. It’s not exactly exhaustion. It’s something deeper. Something older. Something you’ve carried for years without knowing how to name it. It is the ache to feel loved . Not admired. Not tolerated. Not occasionally affirmed. Not need

There comes a turning point in every believer’s life when something deep inside begins to shift. It does not begin with fireworks. It does not arrive with an announcement. It starts quietly, almost imperceptibly, deep beneath the layers of your daily routines. You wake up one day and realize that the life you have been living no longer feels aligned with the person you are becoming. The conversations feel too small. The habits feel too shallow. The cycles feel too old. The id

Small towns remember things the world forgets. They hold stories the way old oak trees hold rings, layer upon layer, year after year, quiet but living. Stories live in the dusty sunlight that settles on front porches, in the laughter echoing across a diner booth, and in the slow creak of a screen door at sunset. And sometimes, a story settles into a small town so softly that nobody realizes how sacred it is until years later when they look back and whisper, “Something holy ha

There is a moment in every person’s life when something inside them whispers, "You can’t stay here anymore.” Maybe nothing external has changed. Maybe your job is the same. Your home is the same. Your relationships are the same. Your circumstances look unchanged. But something inside you… is shifting. Something in your spirit is restless. Something in your heart refuses the old patterns. Something in your soul is calling you upward. This kind of inner stirring is not random.
