- 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)

Too soon to rerun a 2024 post? Apparently not. Blessed and encouraged by the remembrance of this 2024 conversation with a beloved, faithful brother. Blessed and encouraged also by this reminder from the Spirit this morning that “through many tribulations … Continue reading

The Sleep of Jesus

Added to the Lord
It’s the second time I’ve encountered the phrase as I’ve been reading through Acts, but this morning it popped. There were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who on coming to Antioch spoke to the Hellenists also, preaching … Continue reading

The words pop from the page. And almost immediately I’m struck with a thought of how little I am able to really enter into the jaw-dropping amazement of what happened in that house on that day. But as I pause … Continue reading

My People
Corinth. I read the word, I think of the church. The divided church. The quarreling church. The adultery in the pew church. The suing one another church. The church of a dozen questions — about marriage, about food sacrificed to … Continue reading

A Door of Faith
It had been between 4 and 10 months since they left Antioch. Antioch, the place where the church submitted to the Spirit’s leading to “set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them” … Continue reading
