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

God Has Spoken
God has spoken. That’s a key bet for our faith, isn’t it? If our God were not a communicating God, He would be but a God of our own imagination. If God has not addressed those created in His image, … Continue reading

127 Provinces
127 Provinces. That’s what I’m chewing on this morning. The king’s scribes were summoned at that time, in the third month, which is the month of Sivan, on the twenty-third day. And an edict was written, according to all that … Continue reading

Faithful to the End
I didn’t catch a lot of the Olympics when it aired a few weeks ago, but I managed to watch a bit. Maybe that’s why a familiar image from the track came to mind this morning as I was reading. … Continue reading

The Joy Was Heard
Back from a week of visiting family. Back, Lord willing, into my morning routine. Finished off Nehemiah this morning. Always mixed emotions as I read these last chapters. Not really sure how I should read Nehemiah’s nationally enforced obedience in … Continue reading

Nevertheless
To mess with Dickens’ well-known line . . . It can be the best of words, it can be the worst of words. The word? Nevertheless. It’s been over three weeks since they gathered to hear Ezra read from the … Continue reading

Ready to Receive the Word
Facedown or face to the ground? That is the question. Well, not really. It is a question. But in the overall scheme of things, not that important a question. Nevertheless, one I am chewing on this morning. And not because … Continue reading

Embracing Righteous Living
Things don’t always go according to plan, but that doesn’t invalidate the plan. Stuff may not work as it should, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t know how it’s supposed to work. And, while things may not be going according … Continue reading

Wisdom — Found, Fulfilling, Fruitful
Hovering over three verses in Proverbs 10 this morning. On the lips of him who has understanding, wisdom is found, but a rod is for the back of him who lacks sense. Doing wrong is like a joke to a … Continue reading
It’s Who You Know
She builds her house. She prepares the food and sets the table. And then she sends out messengers and calls out to all with ears to hear: “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” To him who lacks sense … Continue reading
Don’t Let Go
Proverbs 8 is what always seals it for me — the person of Wisdom in Proverbs is the Person of Christ. When wisdom calls, it’s Christ calling. What wisdom offers, Christ offers. To seek wisdom is to seek Christ. For, … Continue reading
