Do you have a Submissive Spirit … Or a Rebellious One? Ezekiel 1-5. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Ezekiel 1-5

And you shall speak my words to them, whether they hear or refuse to hear, for they are a rebellious house. “But you, son of man, hear what I say to you. Be not rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give you.”

Ezekiel 2:7-8 ESV

Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Because you are more turbulent than the nations that are all around you, and have not walked in my statutes or obeyed my rules, and have not even acted according to the rules of the nations that are all around you, therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I, even I, am against you. And I will execute judgments in your midst in the sight of the nations.

Ezekiel 5:7-8 ESV

The Grace of God has Appeared… What Now? Titus. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 46, Titus 1-3

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works. Declare these things; exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no one disregard you.

Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people. For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another.

But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. The saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works. These things are excellent and profitable for people.

Titus 2:11-3:8

Hard Words for Older Women – and Younger Women, too. Titus. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 44, Titus 1-3

Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled.

Titus 2:3-5 ESV

Do your Church Leaders Teach Sound Doctrine and Rebuke Those who Contradict It? Titus. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 43, Titus

Our church recently ordained a new elder and retired one to “emeritus” status after serving faithfully since our church was planted, 37 years ago!

I am so thankful for a team of elders who have been chosen in obedience to Titus 1:7-9,

For an overseer, as God’s steward, must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain, but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined. He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it.

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 40-41, Philemon

Accordingly, though I am bold enough in Christ to command you to do what is required, yet for love’s sake I prefer to appeal to you—I, Paul, an old man and now a prisoner also for Christ Jesus— I appeal to you for my child, Onesimus, whose father I became in my imprisonment.

BLESSED is the Man who TRUSTS in the LORD. Jeremiah 16-17. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 13, Jeremiah 16-17

Thus says the LORD:
“Cursed is the man who trusts in man
and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the LORD.

He is like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see any good come. He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness, in an uninhabited salt land.

Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose trust is the LORD.

He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.”

Jeremiah 17:5-8
