- 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)

Wrapped up Philippians 2 this morning. The chapter begins with a call to humility and ends with a command to honor. (Hmm . . . humility to honor . . . sounds like opposite ends of a spectrum to me.) … Continue reading

Work It Out
Some work we retire from. Other work, never. Therefore, my dear friends, just as you have always obeyed, so now, not only in my presence but even more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. … Continue reading
You Know It When You See It
Hovering over the first part of Philippians 2 this morning. Noodling on the One who existed in the form of God but did not consider equality with God a thing to be grasped. The One who emptied Himself, taking on … Continue reading

This morning I’m chewing on a command with a promise. Actually, as I look at it a little deeper, it’s two commands with a promise. Both commands centered on these things. But what’s weird is that, at least at first, … Continue reading

An Inferior Brand of Righteousness
If anyone had a legitimate reason to boast in their own righteousness, Paul says, it was him. And I think he was right. I don’t think he was blinded by pride, but provided a realistic assessment of pedigree. When he … Continue reading

Approve What Is Excellent
Hovering over Paul’s opening words to the Philippians this morning. Though the prayer he prays is for them, I’m pretty sure it was preserved for us. That, as Paul yearns for the saints at Philippi “with the affection of Christ … Continue reading
Our Investment Portfolios
I have often been intrigued by the idea of laying up “treasures in heaven.” Of being mindful that there is stuff we do in the here and now that results in the accumulation and deposit of valuable collectibles in the … Continue reading

Holding On While Pressing On
The apostle Paul thought it was the grown up way to think. To count all things loss for the sake of Christ. And not just reckon them as lost, but to actually lose all things in order to “gain Christ” … Continue reading

Divine Discontentment
Thomas Edison once said, “Discontent is the first necessity of progress.” Said differently the great inventor knew that “satisfaction is the grave of progress.” With a view of what could be, Edison seems to have refused being content with what … Continue reading
