- 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)

Let’s Be Old Fashioned
Understanding. That’s the word for the morning. It’s the one that jumped off the page. The word that appears three times in the portion of Psalm 119 I was reading. Interesting though . . . unlike the ESV most often, … Continue reading
Misery Loves Company
Prayed with a friend after second service yesterday. She updated Sue and I on the latest details concerning a trial her and her husband have been undergoing for some time now. And it’s not like encountering this trial has been … Continue reading
Turn My Feet to Your Testimonies
It wasn’t that he listened to some bad advice. Instead, the new king Rehoboam shopped around until he found some counselors who told him what he wanted to hear. He looked for some outside confirmation of the folly he had … Continue reading

A Wide Place
It’s the reaction of the old man which sees obedience as restrictive. Paul says that it’s the flesh’s natural reflex to balk at the commands of God. It’s the dynamic of the old heart which when it hears, “Do not … Continue reading
A Divine Partnership?
To call it a “divine partnership” almost seems presumptuous. After all, what can a mortal man offer that an eternal God doesn’t already have? What yoking could there possibly be between the Almighty Creator and His dust of the earth … Continue reading

Lift Up the Cup!
We’re in Maui. Sue and I will be enjoying the blessing of this place for the next number of days as we reflect on, and rejoice in thirty-five years of marriage. Can’t help but that such milestones are cause for … Continue reading
Not Just “From” But “For”
It’s a short song. Less than a hundred words parsed into eight verses packaged into four stanzas. It’s a short song about a great God to be sung by a redeemed people. The God of Jacob is the focus of … Continue reading

An Expanded Sphere of Study
If you were to ask me how the concept of studying plays into the Christian experience, I’d respond immediately, “We need to study the word of God.” When I think of the “brain” component of my salvation, I go to … Continue reading
The Living God
The danger in a passage like 1Samuel 17 is that it becomes “skim material”. Bible accounts so familiar that we just breeze through them because we think we know them so well. Stories told and retold so many times and … Continue reading

A Warning In An Unexpected Place
The verse pops off the page for two reasons. First, I recognize the verse . . . it’s familiar . . . I remember it. Second, but not from here. If you quoted the verse to me and asked where … Continue reading
