But they said, We will not walk therein." There comes a moment in every believer’s life when they reach the end of themselves—when all earthly solutions fail, when fear grips the soul, when the abyss seems near. It is in that moment, when the heart cries out, that the Lord answers. Salvation does not come through...]]></description><link>https://www.thestewardspen.com/post/in-that-moment-walking-the-old-paths-of-faith</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a1eb7547ab417a19fc2d545</guid><pubDate>Tue, 02 Jun 2026 11:01:27 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Kevin</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comparison’s Companions]]></title><description><![CDATA[Modern society has modified people to compare themselves to everyone around them. The modern person’s emotional well-being is often hinged on what others think of them. And, when they don’t receive the emotional validation they seek, pride and insecurity rears its ugly head. Being in my mid-forties, I remember life before the internet and social media. Playing outside, coming back at sundown, etc. The generations that followed were, and are, more dependent on the internet and social media....]]></description><link>https://www.thestewardspen.com/post/comparison-s-companions</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69e0e15a832a840dd471a3c2</guid><pubDate>Thu, 16 Apr 2026 13:18:33 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Kevin</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Urgency &#38; Logic of the Gospel]]></title><description><![CDATA[Of the many things that can stand in the way of the unbeliever from becoming born again, it is not logic.  No matter how we fuss or fight, there is truth in this world.  The sun rises the same each morning.  It rains just where it needs to.  Birds don’t forget how to fly south in the winter.  Creation itself bears witness that there is a God.  The order and structure of animals, nature and reality itself show order and logic.   LOG'IC, noun the art of thinking and reasoning justly.

Self‑help and self‑care dominate our culture. Even much of modern church life — whether evangelical, denominational, or anything in between — leans heavily on modern concepts of truth and ecumenical unity. But modern concepts rarely align with biblical ones. Ecumenical movements try to unify religions and denominations by minimizing doctrine, yet Scripture never models unity at the expense of truth....]]></description><link>https://www.thestewardspen.com/post/preventing-a-miracle</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69bab6223c2720a02c62460a</guid><pubDate>Wed, 18 Mar 2026 14:28:26 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Kevin</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Modern Politics and the Bible]]></title><description><![CDATA[The modern political landscape for the Bible-believing Christian is a fragmented mess of religion, philosophy, false science, movements, humanism, self-help, church apostasy, and false messiahs. For those of us who want to live a pilgrim lifestyle, MAGA can be as detestable as Neoliberalism. The issue is that these matters are of the world. Being worldly, you can pick and choose—but you should not trust. Portions of each are found in the other, which leads to confusion.   Fortunately, God is...]]></description><link>https://www.thestewardspen.com/post/modern-politics-and-the-bible</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69b1797e22bc04bb87fbbb51</guid><pubDate>Wed, 11 Mar 2026 14:19:53 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Kevin</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatsoever Things]]></title><description><![CDATA[Philippians 4:8 – Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Jesus walking on the water in the gospels is one of my favorite passages of scripture in the NT.  It, truly, is an endless source of wisdom to be applied.  As I read these passages recently after talking to a co-worker, I began to meditate on a point my co-worker made.    “Why is he walking the direction he’s going? Why is he going that way?”    If we truly believe in the inerrant and plenary nature of the Word of God, then doesn’t every detail matter? ...]]></description><link>https://www.thestewardspen.com/post/as-the-tempest-driveth</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69947bd248e1ffd8ef768bed</guid><pubDate>Tue, 17 Feb 2026 14:35:36 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Kevin</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Steward’s Field ]]></title><description><![CDATA[Prepared by the Father, Purchased by the Son, Powered by the Spirit  Key Verse: John 4:38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.

Commonly, these houses made up the tribe.  When the tribe went to war it was common for each house to respond to a trumpet sound (Numbers 10:5) to move this way or do this or that.  This was also true in ancient Israel. There is a sound that can be heard through the book of Isaiah like a warning trumpet—steady, deliberate, relentless:  Isaiah 5:25 “Therefore is the anger of the...]]></description><link>https://www.thestewardspen.com/post/his-hand-is-stretched-out-still-the-divine-trumpet-of-isaiah-and-beyond</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6981e75baa13a366d93cc4ca</guid><pubDate>Tue, 03 Feb 2026 12:18:55 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Kevin</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time is Eternity Begun]]></title><description><![CDATA[Don't forget to subscribe to our email list at the bottom of the page and look out for our YouTube Shorts based on our articles at: https://www.youtube.com/@SwordAndSteward “Time is eternity begun.” — James Montgomery    This quote by James Montgomery captures a profound philosophical idea about the nature of time and its connection to eternity.

They all know what God wants to be done.   Look out the window, you’ll see the sun rise the same as it did the day before.  Sit around for a while and you’ll see it set in the same manner.  Watch the flock in the fall; you’ll always see them go south.  Even when the seed hit’s the soil, it knows exactly what to do based on the conditions it’s in.

Without it, there was no subsistence and no life. Wells in general mean dependence, life, and provision. Water is essential to human life and continued existence. Just as a well is a source of physical provision, the intellect becomes a kind of inner well from which a person draws understanding. Without man’s intellect, he could not do such things. Man has accomplished some amazing things.
