- So . . . I'm "feeding myself" in the morning from God's Word and thought I'd post what I'm chewin' on and make my "food" available for others who might want to nibble a bit. Hope it's of some benefit to you . . .
The word of God is living and active . . . (Hebrews 4:12)

Lost in Christ
While our current culture of “expressive individualism” may have accelerated it, it’s actually been going on for a while within the church. Sometime in our past, in order to battle dead, lifeless religion, we started talking instead about a “personal … Continue reading
Color Me Blue . . . Again! (2010 Remix)
Wanna know what a man looks like who has not only met the Lord, but has also been molded by the Lord? Wanna see what a woman looks like whose character has been shaped by the marvelous light into which … Continue reading
Where’d It Go?
If yesterday’s readings covered one of my favorite chapters, 2 Samuel 9, this morning I endure one of my least favorite, 2 Samuel 11. What a dolt David was! He should have been where kings ought to have been, going … Continue reading
Always at the Table
2 Samuel 9. Rank it among my top chapters in the bible. Mark it as a favorite story of favor shown. Wanna talk to me about types and foreshadows? David, a type of Christ the king, seeking someone to show … Continue reading

Not At All Inferior . . . Because I Am Nothing
Paul covers a lot of ground with the church at Corinth through the letter we count as his second. But underlying it all is his contending for their affection, for “room” in their hearts (2Cor. 7:2a). And so, as Paul … Continue reading
Content? Really?
I’ve gotten pretty comfortable with verse 9. Relatively easy for me to believe it. Find myself regularly quoting it. Even often willing to share it. It’s a kingdom principle, after all. It’s a supernatural dynamic which, by faith, we can … Continue reading

The Abundance of His Steadfast Love
Hovering over Psalm 106 this morning — started it yesterday, finished it today. It’s the biography of a people. Not just any people, but God’s people. His chosen ones, His nation, His inheritance (106:4-5). A story of their repeated sin, … Continue reading
I Did It My Way
Chronological snobbery. Ever heard that term? First coined by C.S. Lewis, it essentially is the belief that whatever was before was inferior. That our thinking today is better than the thinking of yesterday simply because we are “more advanced” than … Continue reading
Dimensions
Ever done it? Have you ever laid on the grass or on the beach on a clear day and just looked up? Like, looked waaay up? Trying to spot where the sky ends and realizing afresh you can’t? Or, how … Continue reading
Grieved Into Repenting
Truth is, give me the choice between happy and sad and I’ll take happy every time. Don’t care much for sad. Just as soon avoid sorrow. Even less a fan of the sort of heartache caused by someone calling me … Continue reading
