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

A Seat at the Table (2009 Remix)
Undoubtedly his father had great hopes for him. Like father like son, he envisioned him to be a great man of God. As was the norm, dad named him in accordance with that aspiration; he would be called “Exterminator of … Continue reading
God of My Praise
Psalm 109 is a song written by one who had known betrayal. It is a psalm of David and David knew what it was to be betrayed. That it is messianic, pointing to Christ, is evident from verse 25 (see … Continue reading

Pleasure in Insults
Chewing on some well recognized verses in 2Corinthians this morning. I say “well recognized” rather than “well known” because I think it’s going to take a lifetime to really “know’ these verses. ‘Cause just when you think you’ve gone through … Continue reading

Paying Attention in Order to Avoid the Yoke
Kind of a powerful one-two combo this morning. Set up with a left jab in the New Testament and then taken out with a right hook from the Old. 2Corinthians 6:14 teaming up with Psalm 101 to remind me that … Continue reading

Pragmatism and Power
Chewing on King Saul this morning. Actually, he’s kind of gnawing on me. First “aha”? Saul reigned as king longer than David did. Unlike my ESV, the CSB translators (along with the NASB and NIV translators) believe there’s a “typo” … Continue reading
Even More Glorious
It was becoming an either / or proposition within the church. This town wasn’t big enough for the both of them. Corinth wasn’t big enough for the apostle Paul and the “super” (aka false) apostles (aka Judaizers). Someone had to … Continue reading
