- 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)

Grow!
Peter wrote to remind them of ” these things” — things they already knew, things upon which they already stood firm (2Pet. 1:12). Things which Peter very much wanted them to be able to recall at any time (1:15). Things … Continue reading
They Feast With You
Arrogant people, so full of themselves they have no fear of slandering anyone else or anything else. Creatures driven by base instinct, following the polluted desires of their flesh, and with no regard for authority. Jazzed by doing what shouldn’t … Continue reading
Awaken with a Reminder
I wake up in the morning with music. No beeping electronic alarm sound for me, jolting me into consciousness. Instead, I want to be gently awakened by one or more songs from a favorite playlist. Melody is what I want … Continue reading
Waiting, Waiting, Waiting
Wrapping up 2Peter 3 this morning. And if there’s anything to take away from this passage, it’s that we should be waiting. Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in … Continue reading
Entrusting Myself to Him Who Judges Justly
I am wired to be a justifier. Not necessarily a justifier of all things to all people, just a justifier of myself. I don’t think I have to be right all the time–I think I know enough about people in … Continue reading
Last Words among Last Words
Wrapped up about 20 days in 1 and 2 Peter. Peter’s last letters to those taking it in the teeth for Jesus. Peter’s final exhortations for those in the pressure cooker of oppression, dispersion, and some confusion about the end … Continue reading

The Gift of Repentance
Would I be off-base in thinking that, in general, repentance isn’t something that most of us — believer or not — view too favorably? While some may see no reason for it at all, is it a stretch that even … Continue reading
Ain’t Necessarily a Duck
It has got to be one of the scariest verses in all of Scripture. Thus, one that is worth wrestling with and one that needs to be cataloged within the filter of holy discernment. Because, according to the Spirit, despite … Continue reading

A Faith of Equal Standing
Went back and had a look at my journal. Putting down some thoughts on 2Peter 1 this morning will be the fifth year in a row that I’ve paused to chew on these opening verses in 2Peter. Says something when … Continue reading

Stir It Up!
They’re the only two times this particular Greek word is found in the Bible, yet I think it applies to all of Scriptures. It’s Peter’s specific reason for writing his letters but I’d make the case that, when all is … Continue reading
