Wisdom for the Heart

Share a comment Why does the world feel like it’s coming apart at the seams? Why is peace so elusive in homes, cities, countries, and hearts?

The core issue is internal: humanity is sinful, selfish, and spiritually lost...

Share a comment The average person speaks about 50,000 words a day. Roughly the length of a small book. But how much of that is worth reading? In Romans 3:14, Paul says the natural human mouth is full of “cursing and bitterness.” In other words, our speech exposes the condition of our hearts. In this message, Stephen Davey explains the final link in Paul’s chain of indictments about sinful communi...

Share a comment The apostle Paul doesn’t pull any punches in Romans 3:13. He says the human throat is an open grave. Why? Because what we say reveals the death within us.

In this fifth message from Paul’s list of indictments against the human race, you’ll see how...

You’ll see how thi...

These verses open a series of 14 indictments against humanity, all building to a single, stunning conclusion: every...

Share a comment Can a person justify sin if it brings about something good? Can God be blamed for judgment if His truth is revealed through our failure? In this powerful lesson from Romans 3:3–9, Stephen Davey addresses three objections people often raise against God’s justice—and shows why every one of them collapses under the weight of truth. Paul warns that God doesn’t overlook guilt just becau...
