2026 Reading Plan Reflections - Day 34
by Walt Martin on February 5th, 2026
The wedding garment is not a dress code. It’s not about external compliance or religious polish. It’s a symbol—repentance, righteousness, renewal. A life that has actually received grace. In sacramental language, it’s an outward sign of an inward grace.  Read More

2026 Reading Plan Reflections - Day 33
by Walt Martin on February 2nd, 2026
This parable isn’t about ignorance. It’s about entitlement. The problem wasn’t that Israel’s leaders didn’t know God’s law. It’s that they began acting as if God’s work existed to serve their authority, their system, and their sense of control. Stewardship quietly turned into possession.  Read More
