Meant for More
Romans 12 was penned by the Apostle Paul to a group of Jesus followers who found themselves in the middle of political turmoil, social chaos, and relational strife. Diversity of ethnicity, diversity of political affiliation, and diversity of opinions about how the church should love God and love others was on the verge of tearing their community apart. Romans 12 shows us that we are meant for more. We may not be Jesus followers in Rome in the 1st century, but Paul’s words are exactly what we need if you’re going to be a unified and effective church in the 21st century.
If our lives are not defined by sacrifice, we’re not living lives that look like and love like Jesus. An angry, broken, and hopeless world is listening and watching—how we react to struggles; how we handle being treated unfairly; how we navigate...
Romans 12:2 tells us not to conform to the patterns of this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of your mind. It implores you to not allow the world to dictate how you act and how you feel. What if you could be free from the mentality...

Romans 12:13 gives a practical picture of what love does. And it’s a counter-cultural call for us when it can be too easy to fall into patterns of this world… the pattern of being too busy that we cannot see beyond our calendars; too managed we...
Have you found yourself crying or cussing a lot more these days? Maybe you’re asking God "why" as you take stock of the circumstances around you. Jesus doesn’t promise a problem-free existence. And when the troubles come, Romans 12:12 may be a ...
In Romans 12:11, Paul invites you to never be lacking in zeal, and to maintain your spiritual fervor. Maintaining your fire for Jesus isn’t always exciting—it takes work and intentionality—but is critically important. You need to maintain your...
In Romans 12:15, we read two of them most overlooked and disregarded commands in the Bible. They’re perhaps two of the best ways we can love another human being. “Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.” Empathy is visibly...
Romans 12 calls you to bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. It is a dangerous decision to take matters into your own hands by responding to evil with evil—in the moment, the fight seems so right. But when you respond with...
