Readied for the Next Season

Posted on March 16, 2022 by Pete

Wherever we are, we’re not there yet. How ever far we’ve come, we’ve still got some road to travel. Coming out of the wilderness, there’s still a promised land to prepare for. That’s some of what I’m picking from what … Continue reading →

We Rest to Remember

Posted on March 15, 2022 by Pete

It’s coming up on a year since I was last challenged afresh about my attitude towards the Sabbath. (I’m not talking so much about any specific day, but about the principle of one day out of every seven days which … Continue reading →

No Comparison

Posted on March 11, 2022 by Pete

Talking with a sister yesterday who’s a little older than me. While I’m still a few years away from my “threescore years and ten” (Ps. 90:10 KJV), she’s on the other side of it and feeling a bit more each … Continue reading →

Christ Is In You

Posted on March 10, 2022 by Pete

Four words. That’s what I’m chewing on this morning. Yet four words within one grand context — Romans 8. There’s no way you can read Romans 8 and not be stirred within your soul. There is therefore now no condemnation … Continue reading →

A Shepherd for the Sheep

Posted on March 9, 2022 by Pete

You’ve got to admire Moses. He has come a long way from “send someone else” (Exodus 4:13). What’s ironic though, is that it’s evident by the fact that, at the end of his life, he’s still praying, “send someone else.” … Continue reading →

A Weird Taste, A Wonderful Taste

Posted on March 8, 2022 by Pete

Sometimes it just doesn’t taste good. Even if it’s good for you (aka God-breathed and profitable for being trained in righteousness), it still leaves a weird after taste no matter how long you chew on it. That’s kind of how … Continue reading →

Sitting Down on the Inside (2013 Rerun)

Posted on March 7, 2022 by Pete

Hovering over the last part of Romans 6 this morning and the thought of being “slaves of righteousness.” Sounds like a lot of work. Gonna take a lot of effort. But found the following from my 2013 musings and was … Continue reading →

No Dominion

Posted on March 4, 2022 by Pete

No way! Absolutely not! Uh, uh! Nope! That’s how Paul responds to the question. Kinda. If grace is so great, if grace abounded where sin increased (Rom. 5:20), then should we continue in sin that grace may abound (Rom. 6:1)? … Continue reading →

Fell on Their Faces | Stands in God’s Presence

Posted on March 3, 2022 by Pete

Not much sleeping last night, so double reading this morning. And as I’m reading this extended portion in Numbers, I’m aware of how my view of the grumbling Israelites has changed over the years. From once being in utter disbelief … Continue reading →

Carried on the Shoulder

Posted on March 1, 2022 by Pete

I tried Googling it. That’s not really serious research, but it’s worth a shot when you don’t think you can do the math yourself. The math in question? How much did the tabernacle in the wilderness weigh? The whole thing? … Continue reading →
