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

How Shall I Make Atonement?
Something was wrong. So wrong it resulted in divine displeasure — famine for three years. Thus, David “sought the face of the Lord” (2Sam. 21:1). Good move. But then, it seems, David took matters into his own hands. Reading 2 … Continue reading
Leave It With Him
If God, in His very being and essence, is holy, righteous, and just (and He is), and if we are image-bearers of God (and we are), then it shouldn’t surprise us that at our core we too are wired for … Continue reading
David Sent Joab. The LORD Sent Nathan.
I’m pretty sure David didn’t wake up one morning wanting to displease the LORD (2Sam. 11:27b). I’m confident he didn’t start his day intent on “despising the word” of the LORD or doing “what was evil in His sight” (2Sam. … Continue reading

Put Away (2008 Remix)
As I look back in the archives, the format of my journaling was a little different back in the early days. Obvious this morning as I read some thoughts from 2008. But regardless of how I rendered my words, the … Continue reading
Where Did He Always Eat?
No home cooking for that guy. No Door Dash or Uber Eats either. He never had to ask, “Where are we going?” or “Who’s making dinner tonight?” Hovering over 2Samuel 9 and the story of Mephibosheth this morning. He was … Continue reading
Where’d It Go?
If yesterday’s readings covered one of my favorite chapters, 2 Samuel 9, this morning I endure one of my least favorite, 2 Samuel 11. What a dolt David was! He should have been where kings ought to have been, going … Continue reading
Always at the Table
2 Samuel 9. Rank it among my top chapters in the bible. Mark it as a favorite story of favor shown. Wanna talk to me about types and foreshadows? David, a type of Christ the king, seeking someone to show … Continue reading

Submitting to God’s Permissive Will
If I’m honest with myself, I’m prone to “kick against the goads” (Acts 26:14). Not like Paul who persecuted followers of the risen Christ despite all the evidence he was aware of which testified of a risen Christ. Instead, I … Continue reading

A Gospel Easter Egg
In the MCU they are called “Easter Eggs.” In the bible it’s foreshadowing. Huh? MCU = Marvel Cinematic Universe. The increasing catalog of superhero films and shows produced by Marvel Studios based on the Marvel comics. I haven’t watched all … Continue reading
A Seat at the Table (2009 Remix)
Undoubtedly his father had great hopes for him. Like father like son, he envisioned him to be a great man of God. As was the norm, dad named him in accordance with that aspiration; he would be called “Exterminator of … Continue reading
