  1. Sharper Than a Double Edge Sword

    Sharper Than a Double Edge Sword  — a word by Pastor Tony D'Amico from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "The Bible isn’t just a book, printed and bound to only be placed on a bookshelf. More than that, it’s alive and active. It’s also sharper..."

    Over the last few weeks, I’ve been learning about the historical use of a long sword. It takes great precision to design them. The long edge faces away from you, while the short edge is toward you. Additionally, the blade has three sections. First, there is the “Strong” — the section from the crossbar to the “Middle” section. After the “Middle” comes the “Weak” or the top half. Each part has advantages for combat. Swords are both defensive and offensive weapons. All of the parts work together to make it formidable.

    The comparison of God’s Word being like a sword (found in Hebrews) certainly came to life for me.

  2. Rejoice Always

    Rejoice Always – a word by Pastor Caleb Yetton from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "No matter what the circumstances, life can be (and is) very hard to rejoice in. But, that is exactly what the Lord calls us to do!"

    “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (ESV)

    It can be so easy to be discouraged. Whether it’s something in our own lives or the world around us, we are surrounded by hard situations and events. Perhaps your health is deteriorating, your job is going poorly, or your marriage is in shambles? Maybe a loved one is struggling? Do you look at the state of our world today and wonder what will happen next? No matter what the circumstances, life can be (and is) very hard to rejoice in. But, that is exactly what the Lord calls us to do!
