Eating is Believing

Posted on October 17, 2023 by Pete

To say that I’m chewing on the latter part of John 6 this morning is an understatement (actually, it’s more like a pun). Jesus has fed five thousand (6:1-11) and the crowds are pressing Him for more (6:22-26). Jesus seizes … Continue reading →

That They May Be One

Posted on December 6, 2022 by Pete

An impossible standard? Perhaps. But Jesus not only doubles down on it, He triple downs, and even quadruple downs. If repetition is emphasis, then the Spirit is shouting this morning. “And I am no longer in the world, but they … Continue reading →

Lord, Will I?

Posted on November 22, 2022 by Pete

Okay, the problem with being captivated with the first part of a passage is that it kind of sets you up for the next part. Yesterday, I was in awe of a Sovereign who would bow at His subjects’ feet … Continue reading →

Lord, Do You . . . ?

Posted on November 21, 2022 by Pete

It did not compute. Nope, didn’t make sense. Try as he might, Peter couldn’t wrap his head around Jesus wrapping the towel around. Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come … Continue reading →

Posted on November 15, 2022 by Pete

Feeling a need to ponder and pray more and produce less during my morning devos this week. So after my readings, my plan is to go back through my archives and let the thinking of the past minister to me … Continue reading →

Do You Believe This?

Posted on November 11, 2022 by Pete

It’s a question for the ages. One of those questions that’s going to get asked multiple times throughout our lives. The question that, in a sense, overrules all other questions. Her brother was dead, she was distraught, and for days … Continue reading →

Truth-Based Freedom in a Post-Truth Culture

Posted on November 1, 2022 by Pete

Some have said that ours is a post-truth culture. That objective facts (if there really are any) are increasingly giving away to subjective personal belief. That your truth may not be my truth and that, within limits, there needs to … Continue reading →

To Whom Shall We Go?

Posted on October 21, 2022 by Pete

Talk of eating His flesh and drinking His blood was too much for some of them. That He claimed to be living bread that came down from heaven was a metaphor with implications they couldn’t stomach. That eternal life with … Continue reading →

Why Ask?

Posted on October 14, 2022 by Pete

It’s got to be one of the weirdest questions in all of Scripture. But, chew on it a bit, and it’s also has to be one of the most penetrating. Where? At a pool called Bethesda, in Jerusalem, by the … Continue reading →

A Perpetual Spring

Posted on October 11, 2022 by Pete

It was quite the claim. Intriguing, in fact. To never be thirsty again would be wonderful. But to never have to come to the well to draw water again? That would be amazing! No more the daily burden of carrying … Continue reading →
