- 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)

In the Lord
Identity. For those who have ears to hear, there’s a lot of talk these days about identity. Who we are. What we is. As I wrap up Romans this morning, a couple of short, repeated phrases remind me of my … Continue reading
Love Unfeigned
According to my handy-dandy online lexicon, the four word command-to-obey which catches my attention this morning, is but two words in the original. Continuing to read in Romans 12 this morning. After 11 chapters of intense theology, Paul shifts (as … Continue reading
In Christ Jesus (2014 Remix)
I’d almost defy any blood-bought believer to sit down with Romans 8, read it in one thoughtful sitting, and not be in a different place when they finish the chapter from where they were when they began it. It is … Continue reading
Released in Order to Serve
Released from the law (Romans 6:6a). Catches my attention. Commence chewing. Freed from what once held us captive. Delivered from that which once held dominion. Its force forfeited. Its power put away. Its condemnation conquered. We have been released from … Continue reading
Obedient from the Heart
It’s almost 46 years later and I still remember a conversation in an old pickup truck as I was being driven to a beach party where we were gathering with other “college and career” folks from our small church. I … Continue reading
Footsteps of Faith
Okay, I’m five days into my readings in Romans and, as it does at some point every year, it hits me this morning — that overwhelmed feeling that I’m drinking from a theological fire hose. Man, oh man, this is … Continue reading

A Willing Spirit
I think I’ve noted this before, but if those who put together my reading plan intended to have Romans 3 and Psalm 51 on the same day, it was a masterful move. To align “all have sinned” (Rom. 3:23) and … Continue reading
Called to Belong
This morning I’m hovering over a phrase from Paul’s introduction to his letter to the Romans. In just a few short verses (Rom. 1:1-6) Paul unpacks the essentials of a great, great gospel. It’s the gospel of God. It was … Continue reading
Nevertheless, By God’s Will
Paul had a lot to say as he wrote to the church in Rome, but there was a lot more he wanted to experience when he visited with them. Both at the beginning and at the end of his letter … Continue reading

Disputed Matters
I think the reality of it is that it’s hard to learn and apply important life lessons “real time”, at the moment they are actually needed. Best case scenario is that you’re prepared for a situation in advance, have thought … Continue reading
