- 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)

Our Gain
My media world exploded with death over the past couple of days. A Facebook “friend” who lost a husband, a Voice contestant who we followed a few years ago, a nightclub full of people we have no connection with other … Continue reading
Let’s Be Old Fashioned
Understanding. That’s the word for the morning. It’s the one that jumped off the page. The word that appears three times in the portion of Psalm 119 I was reading. Interesting though . . . unlike the ESV most often, … Continue reading
The Hush of Grace
I’m hovering over the first part of 1Kings 19 this morning. And you can’t help but notice the stark contrast between the two mounts Elijah stands upon. The first, Mount Carmel, was a mount of victory (1Kings 18:20-40). The place … Continue reading

Don’t Need Fire From Heaven
A longer than normal post this morning. Re-working some thoughts from 2009 on today’s readings . . . Talk about your high drama and suspense! They had been at it for hours. The 450 prophets of Baal and the 400 … Continue reading
With the Spirit, To the Father, In the Name of the Son
It’s a command to be obeyed manifesting itself in four outcomes. It’s not a check-off-the-box, once-and-done command. While it begins with a once-for-all experience, the nature of the command is such that it “must continue thereafter as a moment-by-moment process” … Continue reading

Misery Loves Company
Prayed with a friend after second service yesterday. She updated Sue and I on the latest details concerning a trial her and her husband have been undergoing for some time now. And it’s not like encountering this trial has been … Continue reading
Turn My Feet to Your Testimonies
It wasn’t that he listened to some bad advice. Instead, the new king Rehoboam shopped around until he found some counselors who told him what he wanted to hear. He looked for some outside confirmation of the folly he had … Continue reading

To Be Faithful Amidst the Fullness
It kills me to read 1Kings 11. Maybe, if he had had a lot less money, he could have afforded a lot less wives. Perhaps if he had a little less to possess he wouldn’t have become so bored with … Continue reading

A Wide Place
It’s the reaction of the old man which sees obedience as restrictive. Paul says that it’s the flesh’s natural reflex to balk at the commands of God. It’s the dynamic of the old heart which when it hears, “Do not … Continue reading
He Hears In Heaven!
Lot of praying going on. Talking to the Lord every day about what’s going on in our lives. Interceding for babies to be born healthy. Asking for wisdom in matters of direction for the body of Christ. Petitioning on behalf … Continue reading
