- 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)

A Sword Swallowing Act
The latter part of the first chapter of James has to do with the word of God. Three observations tell me so. The first observation reminds me that, in God’s sovereign determination, I was born again by the word of … Continue reading

A One-Way Trip (2010 Rerun)
Chewing on a command to obey as I wrap up Hebrews. Went back deep in my journal archives and noodled on some thoughts from 2010. I smile at the things that came to mind then about “the camps I’ve had … Continue reading
A Healthy Heart
This morning I’m chewing on a bit of advice tucked away in Hebrews. An assessment of faith, which I know to be true, but that I need to be reminded of again and again. Something that is good. Something which … Continue reading

Make Sure
I’m reminded again this morning how wired I am (not the “good” wiring, me thinks) to read Scripture as if it’s meant for me the individual rather than me the member of a community. I can “amen! — I’ll do … Continue reading
Limping, But Not Dislocated
“No discipline seems enjoyable at the time, but painful.” Ya’ think? Thinking this morning that I need to make the first half of Hebrews 12 mandatory reading when the going gets tough. It’s an exhortation to “run with endurance.” And … Continue reading

More Than A Feeling
Defining faith. That’s what I’m doing this morning as I mentally chew on the first half of Hebrews 11. Ask me what faith is before this morning’s reading and I probably would have been quick to give a one-word answer, … Continue reading
Sweet!
Really quick post this morning . . . gotta get on the road for a quick day-trip down to Oregon. This morning, a Proverb grabs not just my attention by primes the pump for praise. And that, because I’m reminded … Continue reading
Perfected
Reminded this morning that while I may not be perfect (I new that well before this morning), I am perfected. For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are sanctified. (Hebrews 10:14 CSB) The letter written to the … Continue reading

Count On It
Ben Franklin said that “in this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes.” Others have tried to add a third or fourth thing to the list, but the one thing we all know is undeniable is that death is … Continue reading
