A slip from the desk

Slip 03E7

The widest thing in the universe is not space; it is the potential capacity of the human heart. Being made in the image of God, it is capable of almost unlimited extension in all directions. And one of the world's worst tragedies is that we allow our hearts to shrink until there is room in them for little beside ourselves.

2026–27 Bible Reading Challenge

  • Help you actually succeed. This plan is practical, realistic, and guilt-free. Life happens. We get it.
  • Get you inviting others. The feast isn't meant to be eaten alone. We want you reading with friends, family, and fellow believers.
  • Missed a day or a whole week? Don't try to catch up. If you skipped breakfast and lunch, you don't need to eat them before dinner. Start with today's reading.
  • Same page, many traditions. Our focus stays on the text itself. That frees us to encourage one another across differences and trust the Spirit with the rest. We're sharing a love of Scripture, not settling arguments.
  • Nothing to buy. No subscriptions, no products, no fees. Invite your friends freely.
