- 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)

The People We Ought to Be
“How should we then live?” Francis Schaeffer asked the question back in the mid ’70s, the 1970’s. “What sort of people ought you to be?” Peter asked that similar question back in the late ’60s, the ’60s. I’m noodling on … Continue reading
A Directed Heart
My first inclination is to think that the Thessalonians lived in a time and circumstance totally different than mine. Their first century church was planted amidst some pretty hostile conditions (Acts 17:1-10) and the opposition continued even after Paul was … Continue reading

Growing Faith . . . Increasing Love

The Best Is Yet To Come!

Be Glorified In Me
Reading 2Thessalonians 1 this morning. Suffering saints . . . suffering for the kingdom of God . . . afflicted for their love of the Father . . . persecuted for their allegiance to the Son. And how does Paul … Continue reading

The Power of the Promise
As I think about it, promises are only as good as the promise-maker. The strength of a pledge is less in the words spoken and more in the desire, commitment, and ability of the one speaking the words to follow … Continue reading

Amazing Faith, Amazing Love
Ok . . . so confession time . . . knowing I’ll sound like a cranky old man, perhaps . . . sometimes I’m bugged by how flippantly we Christians toss around words like “awesome” and “amazing”. Sometimes I think … Continue reading
