The word of God is living and active . . . (Hebrews 4:12)

Avoid the Pride
Let it go, Paul! It’s been four chapters already. Point made. Move on! Of all the things that were hamstringing the Corinthian church, does division merit this much discussion? Evidently. How I need ears to hear. If you’re familiar with … Continue reading
His Dove
The church of God is a mighty church. Ever heard that sentiment expressed in some manner? What about processing the promise that “we are more than conquerors” (Rom. 8:37)? Makes it sound like the bride of Christ is not to … Continue reading

Nothing to Brag About
Continuing to read Paul’s opening words to the Corinth church. A church not “lacking in any gift” (1Cor. 1:7). Yet also a church not lacking in any drama, for “there is quarreling among you” (1Cor. 1:11). And that’s the just … Continue reading
Words
Pause for a moment, and it really is kind of a shocking idea. Consider what’s being said and you can’t help but think to yourself, “Really? How can that be?” Think of the centrality of its place within the Christian … Continue reading
Strengthened According to the Gospel
Two passages from two different readings come together this morning to ignite praise, to prime the pump of gratitude. O God, from my youth You have taught me, and I still proclaim Your wondrous deeds.So even to old age and gray … Continue reading
Flourishing Through Favor
If I’m picking up what the songwriter’s laying down — if I’m getting what the Spirit’s saying — then, if you wanna change the world, start by focusing on the church. As I hover over the first two verses of … Continue reading
Awesome?!?!
Dissonance. A lack of agreement. A disconnect between what we think to be true and what actually may be true. Inconsistency between what’s heartfelt and what ends up being hard fact. A mingling of sounds that strike the ear harshly, … Continue reading

Humbled for Testing (2020 Re-run)
Rerunning some thoughts from five years ago — think “quarantine.” Kind of rambling, but I’m taken again by the thought of how we can be humbled by things beyond our control. Five years later, it’s still “unprecedented times” and God’s … Continue reading
There Is No Other!
Captured by a twice repeated phrase in Deuteronomy 4. A phrase which will be repeated nine more times in the Old Testament, most often by Isaiah. A phrase which to try and write about is, by it’s definition, impossible. For … Continue reading

Prepared Beforehand for Glory
To be honest, sometimes it can be a bit difficult reading Romans 9. While I’d expect nothing less in a god who is truly God than that He would be incomprehensible and sovereign, some of the implications of incomprehensible sovereignty … Continue reading
