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

Started in on the proverbs of Proverbs, this morning — those snappy sayings that start up in chapter 10. And for me, these one-liners have sometimes been difficult to digest. And that, I think, for a couple of reasons. First, … Continue reading

Maintaining My Saltiness
Jesus really wasn’t about “attractional ministry.” He didn’t seem overly concerned with “removing barriers” and making the curious comfortable. In fact, when the crowds “accompanied Him” (Lk. 14:25), Jesus talked about the cost of following Him. Any one of you … Continue reading

The Good Hand of God
Ezra had the right lineage — a descendent of “Aaron the chief priest” (7:1-5). He had the right learning — a scribe “skilled in the Law of Moses” (7:6a). And, he had the right leaning — to “study the Law … Continue reading

Working on My Knee Bends
Solomon pled it. The LORD established it. Rehoboam tested it. I’m chewing on it. Repetition. It again rules the day (or at least it’s what catches my eye). If you want someone to get something, then tell ’em what you’re … Continue reading
More and More
It’s repetition that catches my eye and captivates my thoughts this morning. Finally, then, brothers, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, just … Continue reading
Paul’s Win (2016 Rerun)
He couldn’t take it anymore! Twice Paul says that he “could bear it no longer.” What was it that caused such anxiety for the beloved apostle? What was so taxing that this man who had been beaten with rods, stoned … Continue reading

They Became What They Worshiped (2021 Remix)
According to the inspired songwriter this morning, you become what you worship. The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of human hands.They have mouths, but do not speak; they have eyes, but do not see;they have ears, but … Continue reading
