The Daily Blade: Joby Martin & Kyle Thompson ·

The Daily Blade: Joby Martin & Kyle Thompson ·

2026/01/12

We lay down resolutions and pick up the greatest commandment, asking how to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. Using the Shema and Luke 2:52, we build a practical diagnostic to align the whole life under one Lord. • the Shema reframed as God as the page, not item one • new creation identity as the basis for evaluation • belief without love challenged by Jesus’ command • heart, soul, mind and strength as one integrated life • Luke 2:52 as a model for holistic growth • a si...

The Daily Blade: Joby Martin & Kyle Thompson ·

2026/01/09

We walk through Psalm 136:23–26 to trace a love that remembers our lowest state, rescues us from our foes, feeds our bodies, and calls us to give thanks. The cross and the empty tomb ground the claim that steadfast love truly endures forever. • Psalm 136 refrain as the theme of endurance • Honesty about sin and the deceitful heart • God’s provision as daily evidence of love • Rescue from sin as the ultimate deliverance • Imputed faith and the finished work of Christ • Vivid account of the cr...

2026/01/07

We trace Psalm 136:10–16 through Exodus to show how judgment on Egypt opened the way for Israel’s freedom, and how the same steadfast love that split the sea also led through the wilderness. Hard passages become clearer when seen as rescue for the oppressed and a call to trust. • Psalm 136 focus on steadfast love • Plagues as targeted judgment against Egypt’s gods • The death of the firstborn as severe justice • Red Sea as salvation and separation • God leading throug...

We trace Psalm 136:4–9 to show how fine-tuned order in creation reveals God’s steadfast love and leads us to humility, gratitude, and trust. Job 38 reorients our pride with a bracing reminder of God’s wisdom and our place in his world. • Psalm 136 refrain as the anchor of mercy • Fine-tuning examples from gravity and nuclear forces • Creation’s order as provision for human life • Awe that humbles pride and calms anxiety • Job 38 as a corrective to complaint and control • Practicing gratitude...

We trace Psalm 136:1–3 to show why God’s goodness and supremacy are the bedrock of a steady life and why lesser lords cannot bear the weight of our hopes. We call men to reorder love, practice gratitude, and return to the refrain that anchors choices and courage. • context and structure of Psalm 136 as a liturgical hymn • meanings across translations of the refrain • hesed as covenant love and engine of history • focus on God’s goodness as essential attribute • God’s supremacy over all ruler...

We trace a clear line from Luke 2 to our lives: God chooses overlooked people for meaningful work. Shepherds, fishermen, and the condemned find hope, identity, and purpose in Jesus, not pedigree. • the Daily Blade mission to equip men for the fight • Luke 2 focus after Christmas and why Christmas changes everything • the true status of first‑century shepherds and why that matters • angels announcing to the overlooked, not the elite • Jesus choosing disciples who were not the best of the best...

The Daily Blade: Joby Martin & Kyle Thompson ·

2025/12/29

We reframe Luke 2 as a starting line, not a finish line, showing how God’s sovereignty turns unwanted detours into purposeful steps. From Caesar’s census to Joseph’s trials, we point to a hope that holds through soreness, stress, and the road ahead. • Christmas as the launch of mission, not a deadline • Luke 2 read through God’s sovereignty in history • Romans 8:28 applied to present trials • Joseph’s Old Testament arc as a model of purpose in pain • Training analogy: strength requires soren...

We trace the ancient roots and fierce hope of O Come, O Come Emmanuel, moving from the O Antiphons to Isaiah, 1 Corinthians, and Hebrews to show why “God with us” ransoms captives and shatters death’s sting.

2025/12/23

We trace Matthew 2 to show why the Magi found Jesus and Herod missed Him, then share simple ways to keep Christ at the center of a noisy Christmas.
