- 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)

Rekindle It!
In those early years of King James, I first learned it as “stir it up.” But in the many years of the NIV, and then the many more of the ESV I was exhorted to “fan it into flame”. What … Continue reading

Radical Repentance. Normative Repentance?
Honestly, I’m a little surprised I’ve never jotted down any thoughts on this chapter before. That’s because I know that in the past I’ve often chewed on it after reading the chapter’s final verse. Chewing on how hard true repentance … Continue reading
Liars, and Murderers, and Family Fracturers, Oh My!
I think I’ve said it before here, but I’ll say it again: life’s circumstance has a way of creating a filter for processing the word of God. You can read the same passage year after year and never have it … Continue reading

A Limited Time Offer
Back at my desk after 10 days with the WHOLE family — first time we’ve all been together since February 2020. Fourteen of us then, seventeen of us now. I’m burnt, I’m water-logged, and my cup is full. Don’t know … Continue reading
Reform Is Not Necessarily Revival
Thirty-one years. Not enough time. Over three decades of legislated obedience and holiness. And, except for one king and perhaps a small remnant, it didn’t really make much of a difference. While there was over a quarter of a century … Continue reading

Write It Off
Brief thought this morning on something I read in 2Chronicles 25. Who about? Amaziah, king of Judah. What about? Military ambition. Amaziah’s got an itch to stir things up with the nations around Judah. So, he counts his soldiers. Three … Continue reading
Good News! Good Timing?
They were born again amid persecution, and they lived amid persecution. They received, by faith, the good news from men who were constantly harassed and afflicted, and they followed Jesus, by faith, being harassed and afflicted themselves. Being saved, for … Continue reading

Bad Eyes
They wanted a sign. Jesus said to them “I’m it!” (Lk. 11:29-32) The queen of the south had Solomon. The men of Nineveh had Jonah. And the generation of Jesus? Well, they had Him, the Light of the world (Jn. … Continue reading
Dependent
It’s not an English word you’ll find in the ESV Old Testament. But here it is repeatedly in the CSB as I read 2 Chronicles 13-16. And it stands out. Because it sounds unfamiliar to this longtime ESV reader? Perhaps. … Continue reading
