The Eyes of Your Heart

Posted on May 27, 2026 by Pete

And I thought Paul Baloche had flunked anatomy. That in his “artistic license” he was loosely connecting body parts that aren’t really connected. But he was quoting Scripture! Who knew? Open the eyes of my heart, LordOpen the eyes of … Continue reading →

Blessed!

Posted on May 26, 2026 by Pete

I start in on Psalm 119 this morning with expectation. These next 22 readings in the Psalms are among my favorite portions of my reading plan. An Ode to the Word. A Love Letter for God’s Law. One grand theme … Continue reading →

Don’t Let Me Miss the Glory

Posted on November 11, 2025 by Pete

Continuing to read in Ezekiel and it’s got me thinking about the temple. The bottom line is — after all the specs and details of how to build it, how to furnish it, and who can enter it — that … Continue reading →

Posted on June 4, 2025 by Pete

Last night I was in a room meeting with about 90 other people. And, at one point, they were all speaking at the same time! Speaking loudly at the same time. And it was wonderful. One of the perks I … Continue reading →

The Days of Famine

Posted on April 22, 2025 by Pete

I read the opening words to the book of Ruth and I find I’m chuckling to myself as I whisper, “Ya’ think?!?!” In the days when the judges ruled there was a famine in the land . . . (Ruth … Continue reading →

Love Incorruptible (2013 Remix)

Posted on June 6, 2024 by Pete

Sometimes I’ll read Paul’s letters the same way I’ll drink a jug of milk. I’ll consume the milk glass by glass . . . but then, often, throw away the jug when there’s still a little left in it. Sometimes … Continue reading →

Inferiority Complex or Divine Awareness?

Posted on May 28, 2024 by Pete

Hovering over a couple of verses in Ephesians 3 this morning. Not the “money verses” that talk about who I am in Christ. Instead, I’m guessing, the mostly overlooked verses of who Paul thought he was for Christ. Of this … Continue reading →

Lavished Upon Us

Posted on May 22, 2024 by Pete

Short thought this morning. Massive implications. Chewing on but three words, but it will be a meal for eternity. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace, which … Continue reading →

Supplication for All the Saints

Posted on June 8, 2022 by Pete

Wrapping up Ephesians 6 this morning and hovering over the armor of God. Images of soldiers decked out in battle gear come to mind standing fast as they bear the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, and the shield … Continue reading →
