- 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)

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

Wise for Salvation
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
An Agapao Spectrum
Hovering over Paul’s final words to Timothy this morning. Thinking about this man who knew his “departure” was at hand–ready to be loosed from his earthly moorings and to set sail. Reflecting on what it was for him to have … Continue reading
