- 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)

Obligation
Maybe it’s because I know how short-lived it’s going to be. Maybe it’s because I’ve read these chapters before and I know that eventually Nehemiah is going to resort to literally trying to beat people into obedience (Neh. 13:25). Maybe … Continue reading
The Joy of the Lord is Your Strength
The book of Ecclesiastes says there’s a time for everything, including “a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance” (Eccl. 3:4). For ancient Israel, the first day of the seventh … Continue reading

A Prudent Son
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

Have This Mind

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
