The word of God is living and active . . . (Hebrews 4:12)

Rubbing Shoulders with Wisdom
They’re not rocket science, but they can be life changing. So many of them are just common sense but, for those who are mindful of them, their impact is anything but run-of-the-mill. I’m talking about Solomon’s proverbs. His quick snappers … Continue reading
The Ponderer
It’s truth given as a warning, but being received this morning as a comfort. It is a reminder of the nature of the God of heaven which has profound implications for life on earth. That God possesses a divine knowledge. … Continue reading

Get It!
Urgency. If there’s one word that captures the tone of these opening chapters of Proverbs it’s urgency. Nothing optional in Solomon’s exhortation. Nothing secondary in it’s nature. To heed Solomon’s repetitious pleading, if you were developing your life’s “to do” … Continue reading
What We Do With Wisdom Matters
The cause-and-effect promises of Proverbs continues in my reading in chapter three this morning. Just as in yesterday’s consideration, Solomon again encourages his son, “Receive this and you can expect that.” And at the center of “this” is wisdom. According … Continue reading
Action Required
It’s a lie. It’s made to sound like reasonable thinking, but it isn’t. Some people just don’t learn by reading, they say. Some people just aren’t academics, they say. Getting into the Bible just isn’t everybody’s thing–and that’s ok, they … Continue reading
Guard Your Heart
Kind of a one two punch this morning. Set up with the “left hand” in Hebrews 4 . . . the “right hook” coming in Proverbs 21. Less about intense conviction, more about a sober reminder. Don’t think I have … Continue reading
Honoring the Maker
This past Sunday, a number of our students reported out on their experiences on a recent missions trip. In past years the annual missions trip has targeted international destinations . . . most commonly Mexico. But this year God led … Continue reading
The Prudent
Prudent. It’s not a word I use very often or hear used in “normal conversation” a lot. It even has a bit of an old fashioned ring to it. Prudent. But this morning, reading in the Proverbs, three times in … Continue reading
Stewards of Blessing . . . Delighting Our God . . . Guiding Our Neighbor
Not gonna lie . . . it feels like forever since I sat at this keyboard trying to corral some thoughts from my morning readings. Last week was spent with church family on our annual camping trip. While the morning’s … Continue reading
A Hard Sell ( a 2011 “rerun”)
So this morning I’m re-posting some thoughts from 2011 concerning Proverbs 8. Last night I was on a “mission of mercy” run with a buddy and we didn’t get me home until the wee hours of the morning. Doing well … Continue reading
