- 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)

But Little Power
Most commonly, they’re known as the church of “brotherly love.” This morning, I’m chewing on the fact that they were also the church of but little power. The church in Philadelphia, the sixth church of seven to receive a letter … Continue reading

On the Front Lines
We often say, “The battle is the Lord’s.” And, to be sure, that is so true. However, if I’m picking up on what’s being laid down this morning, Jesus expects us to be on the front lines. Reading in Revelation … Continue reading
To Know the Touch
To quote a famous baseball player of a bygone era, it was “deja vu all over again.” It wasn’t the first time John found himself on his face like a dead man at the feet of Jesus. The last time, … Continue reading
Go Again
You get the sense that to say, “She played the field” would have been an understatement. To say, “She was loose” would have been to state the obvious. But to say, “She was a prostitute?” Well, the CSB indicates that … Continue reading

Anticipation
“Gentlemen, start your engines!” For many of us in the U.S., yesterday it began — the race to Christmas. While the turkey roasted, we put out snacks on the counter, turned on football and let it play in the background, … Continue reading
Dangerous Reefs
Okay. Here’s a place where the CSB rendering makes a BIG difference — and again, if I had been a NASB reader, this would have already been familiar to me. But I haven’t read the NASB, and so it looks … Continue reading
Don’t Want to Be a Lightweight
You get the sense that Belshazzar should have known better. After all, he knew of the humbling of his predecessor, the legendary Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon. The story had been told and retold of how, at the height of arrogance, … Continue reading
Meeting Up with Nebuchadnezzar
“When I get to heaven, I can’t wait to talk to [fill in the blank]!” Ever heard someone say something like that? Ever said that yourself? Will heaven really work that way? That anyone I choose to connect with I … Continue reading

It’s Gonna Crush It!
It’s been crazy for so long, it almost doesn’t warrant commenting on how crazy it is. But, if nothing else reminds us (and there’s a lot to remind us), our political rhythms have a way of reminding those with ears … Continue reading
The Trinity of Abiding
In his first letter, John tells his readers that “God is love, and the one who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him” (1Jo. 4:16 CSB). The CSB calls it remaining, but I’ll go with the … Continue reading
