The word of God is living and active . . . (Hebrews 4:12)

A God of Seeing
She was the “other woman.” Not cherished but chattel. Outside the family, outside the promises. The “Plan B” that should never have been conceived much less should have been forced to conceive herself. The penultimate object lesson of what can … Continue reading

In the Middle of a Big Thing
“Amazed and astonished.” “Amazed and perplexed.” That’s how the Spirit moves Dr. Luke to capture in a couple of words the reaction of those who were there on the day the Spirit was poured out (Acts 2:7, 12). The reaction … Continue reading

Jehovah Gennao
Okay . . . Is it license or is it just uneducated freedom? Am I crossing some linguistic line? I don’t know the original languages of the Scriptures. All I have is my handy-dandy online bible and the brief definitions … Continue reading

The LORD Knows
Back to the beginning of my reading plan. A new bible open on my desk. Colored pencils at hand. Let’s a get a jump start on 2026. Something so grounding in these initial readings. Powerful reminders that God created (Genesis … Continue reading
Hand on Mouth (2017 Remix)
Sticks and stones may break my bones . . . and when the Almighty’s doing the name-calling, that’s gotta hurt too! Not that God harmfully throws down insults from heaven. But the One who searches the soul and spirits of … Continue reading

He Delights in Steadfast Love
This year, reading through Micah has been particularly brutal. For some reason (a Holy Spirit reason?), I’ve been more impacted during this year’s readings by the relentlessness and heaviness of God leaving His “holy temple” and “coming out of His … Continue reading
The Temple Opened (2014 Rerun)
One of those mornings where, rather than write in my journal, I read from it. And these thoughts from 12 years ago stir my soul. What “infinite grace” . . . that I might enter a heavenly place . . … Continue reading

The Right Filter (2022 Remix)
Elihu presents the encore argument. Job’s other friends, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite are done talking. Though they came to Job to “show him sympathy and comfort him” (Job 2:11), in trying to make sense … Continue reading
