- 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)

More and More
It’s repetition that catches my eye and captivates my thoughts this morning. Finally, then, brothers, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, just … Continue reading
Paul’s Win (2016 Rerun)
He couldn’t take it anymore! Twice Paul says that he “could bear it no longer.” What was it that caused such anxiety for the beloved apostle? What was so taxing that this man who had been beaten with rods, stoned … Continue reading

They Became What They Worshiped (2021 Remix)
According to the inspired songwriter this morning, you become what you worship. The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of human hands.They have mouths, but do not speak; they have eyes, but do not see;they have ears, but … Continue reading

Theos Martus (2014 Rerun)
Back in 2014, on this morning in my reading plan, it was the Spirit connecting the dots in real time. This morning, it’s my journal reminding me of the dots connected. But it’s the same Spirit priming the pump of … Continue reading

Children of the Day . . . Still (A Double Rerun)
Hovering over 1Thessalonians 5, this morning. Looked back five years ago, only to find that not only was I chewing on it then, but had been five years before that, in 2013, as well. Ten years later, and our pervasive … Continue reading
Appointed to This
I’m gonna guess it’s easier to accept trials and hardships if we somehow think they are random and just part of living in a fallen world. After all, everyone goes through seasons of suffering, so why shouldn’t I? Life’s gonna … Continue reading
