- 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)

Content? Really?
I’ve gotten pretty comfortable with verse 9. Relatively easy for me to believe it. Find myself regularly quoting it. Even often willing to share it. It’s a kingdom principle, after all. It’s a supernatural dynamic which, by faith, we can … Continue reading

Grieved Into Repenting
Truth is, give me the choice between happy and sad and I’ll take happy every time. Don’t care much for sad. Just as soon avoid sorrow. Even less a fan of the sort of heartache caused by someone calling me … Continue reading
How I Identify
How one “identifies” has become one of the prevailing dynamics of our current cultural moment. Whatever else may define our reality, identity has been promoted to the top of the list. But that, in and of itself, isn’t a bad … Continue reading

We Do Not Lose Heart
This morning, I’m hovering over the bookends presented by Paul in 2Corinthians 4. A chapter where Paul talks about the ministry given him “by the mercy of God” (4:1) That of proclaiming the gospel in a world where many not … Continue reading

Write Away!
Found myself hovering over 2Corinthians 3:3 this morning and eventually thinking, “Write away!” Then I looked back through my journal and found that same thinking put into words back in 2016. And as I think back over the past 8 … Continue reading
Pleasure in Insults
Chewing on some well recognized verses in 2Corinthians this morning. I say “well recognized” rather than “well known” because I think it’s going to take a lifetime to really “know’ these verses. ‘Cause just when you think you’ve gone through … Continue reading

The Harvest of Your Righteousness
A cursory read might have you think that Paul was the first to preach a prosperity gospel. You know, a “give to God and wait and see how much He’ll give to you” version of the good news. The financial … Continue reading
Paying Attention in Order to Avoid the Yoke
Kind of a powerful one-two combo this morning. Set up with a left jab in the New Testament and then taken out with a right hook from the Old. 2Corinthians 6:14 teaming up with Psalm 101 to remind me that … Continue reading
Even More Glorious
It was becoming an either / or proposition within the church. This town wasn’t big enough for the both of them. Corinth wasn’t big enough for the apostle Paul and the “super” (aka false) apostles (aka Judaizers). Someone had to … Continue reading
Shouldn’t We Smell? (A 2013 Remix)
Decided to randomly go back 10 years ago and see what I was chewing on this day in my reading plan. Kind of struck by it — both nostalgically and convictionally. So, thought I’d re-work it a bit and re-post … Continue reading
