Now it is the Spirit who evolved matter out of the chaotic state; and it is the Spirit who renews a living body out of the putrefaction into which it had mouldered; and it is the very same agent, even the Spirit of God, who renovates the heart of man, and forms him anew into righteousness and true holiness. It is a doctrine that is mightily nauseated in this our day—forming as it does one of the most offensive peculiarities of the gospel, and perhaps more fitted than any other to revolt into antipathy both the natural and the literary taste of those who hear of it.
Lectures on the Epistle to the Romans, Vol. II (Edinburgh: T. Constable, 1856), Lecture on Romans viii., Chapter VIII, p. 17

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.
