Good morning! May you persist today. #MorningMug

A hand holds a speckled mug with the phrase "AND SO BEGINS THE Adventure" and a mountain and tree design, set against a background of window blinds and a dimly lit room.

As I sit and ponder “The Cross” today in preparation for my message on Sunday, I was reminded again that 1 Corinthians 13 needs to be a grounding text for Christians. It is the practical outworking of what it means to live a “cruciform” life.

An image quoting 1 Corinthians 13:4-7: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”

Workout done. #Discipline2025
