Posted on November 11, 2025 by Pete

A Staff of Reed (2019 Remix)

Posted on November 4, 2025 by Pete

You can take the redeemed out of Egypt, but man, seems it’s really hard to get Egypt out of the redeemed. That was Israel’s story. Even up to the end. Though the Chaldeans were about to crush them, God’s people … Continue reading →

It Will Be Performed

Posted on October 27, 2025 by Pete

I was naïve and he was being smug. It was the mid ’80’s, I was still pretty young in the faith, and I was eating up Josh McDowell’s “Evidence That Demands a Verdict.” Armed with all that “evidence”, I figured … Continue reading →

Posted on November 11, 2024 by Pete

Seen in the Shadows

Posted on November 13, 2023 by Pete

There’s a lot in Ezekiel that I don’t get. And it’s not just trying to make sense of Ezekiel’s description of things he sees which are beyond description. Even some of the things clearly described are still mysterious shadows within … Continue reading →

No Longer Prey!

Posted on November 8, 2023 by Pete

Continuing to read in Ezekiel and John this morning, and the two readings come together. In Ezekiel, while there’s been a whole lot of judgment pronounced thus far upon the nation of Israel, the Judge’s focus now turns to Israel’s … Continue reading →

Atonement for All You Have Done

Posted on October 27, 2023 by Pete
