- 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)

Beam Surgery
It seems easy enough, but I’m thinking that plucking a beam out of your own eye is a lot harder than it sounds. In fact, as I noodle on Jesus’ parable, I’m wondering if the beam, even if we’re looking … Continue reading

Starting Point Matters
Two different starting points. Same practices. Two different assessments. That’s what I’m chewing on this morning. Reading in 2Kings 17 this morning. Israel, the northern kingdom, is done. Operation “Assyrian Occupation” is complete. After 200 years of worshiping golden calves … Continue reading

Gone last week. Was hanging out with some missionaries and shepherds who serve under the banner of Village Missions. They were gathered for a few days of rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation at a mountain-top conference center (aka sketchy wi-fi and … Continue reading
Three Principles for When I Feel Like I Don’t Wanna Get Out of Bed Ever
I know, from reading James before in the KJV, that Elijah was “subject to like passions as we are” (James 5:17). I know, from reading James before in the ESV, that Elijah was “a man with a nature like ours.” … Continue reading
Give Me Understanding
The songwriter appeals to the One who made him to help him. Give me understanding, he pleads, help me figure this out and to trust you as I do. Your hands made me and formed me;give me understandingso that I … Continue reading
