2026 Reading Plan Reflections - Day 194
by Walt Martin on July 13th, 2026
That seems to be how God's guidance often comes. We would like to know the entire plan before taking the next step. Instead, God usually gives enough light for today's obedience.

2026 Reading Plan Reflections - Day 189
by Walt Martin on July 8th, 2026
Leaders sought God’s wisdom together. They protected the truth of the gospel. They refused to place unnecessary burdens on new believers. Then they walked alongside those believers to help them understand what faithful living looked like. Grace and truth were never competitors. They belonged together.
However, almost immediately, we read about one of the most painful disagreements in the New Testament...
