- 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)

Love For This Present World
If it meant he loved money more than he loved Jesus, I think I can distance myself from the guy. If it meant that he loved “the pleasure of sin for a season” (Heb. 11:25 KJV), more than he loved … Continue reading
Wise for Salvation (2019 Rerun)
It’s a formula. May not look like it at first glance, but it is. We might not like to think that formulas should have a part in the Christian life, but sometimes they do. And, as Paul get’s ready to … Continue reading

The Lord Knows
Two pieces of teaching come together this morning, one from Jesus and the other from Paul. Kingdom teaching connected to comfort teaching. First, Jesus is asked by the Pharisees (like they really wanted to know) “when the kingdom of God … Continue reading

A Faith that Dwells
This morning, it’s a verse in 2 Timothy that has me thinking. Thinking about a faith that dwells. Opening his letter to Timothy, Paul begins with some personal musings. I thank God whom I serve, as did my ancestors, with … Continue reading
The Prize at This Time
It hits me as another of those “Really?” sayings of Jesus. You know, I believe it because Jesus said it . . . but do I really believe it, because I’m not sure it’s really real. Then Peter said, “Look, … Continue reading

Rekindle It!
In those early years of King James, I first learned it as “stir it up.” But in the many years of the NIV, and then the many more of the ESV I was exhorted to “fan it into flame”. What … Continue reading

A Harsh Command to Obey
Not sure where I’m going with this, but chewing on a command to obey this morning. Avoid such people. Doesn’t sound very “Christian” at first blush, does it? Maybe it’s just the translation. Let’s check out others. Having nothing to … Continue reading
The Lord’s Servant and The Public Square
I’m not saying anything new if I point out that the public square of our day is increasingly marked by raging rhetoric and canceling culture. Make your point, make it loud, make it rude, and then shut the door. Goodwill … Continue reading

Keep on Keepin’ On (A Rerun)
Gotta get going for an early morning airport run. Thought I’d re-post something from 2012 . . . a fond reminder of a dear friend. A needed reminder for such a time as this when we need to keep on … Continue reading
Times of Difficulty
Sometimes we can get more focused on the symptoms rather than the sickness. Distracted by what presents almost to the exclusion of what produces. Failing to connect the dots between things which are indicators and the root cause of what … Continue reading
