“How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God” is one of those lines from Jesus that nobody can soften without losing the point. We start in Luke 18 with the camel and the needle, the rich ruler who can’t let go, and the question hanging in the air: if wealth and self-control can’t save you, who can? Jesus answers with the only hope that holds up under pressure: what is impossible with people is possible with God.

From there, we keep reading straight through Luke 18, including Jesus warning the disciples about what awaits him in Jerusalem and the moment near Jericho where a blind beggar refuses to be silenced. That man’s stubborn cry for mercy is a picture of faith that’s simple, loud, and honest. We also pray through Psalm 86 and touch Proverbs 13 on pride and wise counsel, tying Bible study to daily character, leadership, and humility.

We don’t stay in the abstract. I read a marriage verse from Colossians and say the quiet part out loud: you can’t demand “husbands love” while rejecting “wives submit,” and you can’t claim God’s design while only defending the half you like. We also move into real-world headlines, a Medal of Honor story, and an argument about America’s Christian foundations and the need for public repentance and prayer.
