- 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)

Stirring Up Division
I have a friend who refers to it as “Chad.” As in, “Let me ask Chad about that.” And he asks Chad about a lot. All the time, it seems. Chad is ChatGPT. I don’t have a ChatGPT account yet, … Continue reading
Show Perfect Courtesy
Pause and chew on them a bit, and the first eight verses of Titus 3 are like drinking from a fire hose (I know, I’ve mixed my metaphors . . . maybe I should have said it’s like gorging yourself … Continue reading
Easy? Nope. Necessary? I’m thinkin’ . . .
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way . . . This morning, an exhortation in Titus has me wondering what the world would be like if the church were simply to trust and obey. But I’m also noodling on … Continue reading
An Old Man for Jesus
It’s not very often I laugh out loud when I read something in my bible. This morning, I almost did. And that because, for the first time, as I read in Titus, I realized I was reading something specifically addressed … Continue reading
Devoted to Good Works
Okay, the echoing bell of repetition is ringing louder as I continue reading in the first half of Titus 3 this morning. I’ve already encountered its peal a couple of times so that when it rings this morning, I’m primed … Continue reading

The Tenth Fruit of the Spirit?
It’s been a good week working through Titus as part of my morning readings. And in a letter that is so concerned with teaching, and defending, sound doctrine, what has been clear is that, in a sense, sound doctrine is … Continue reading
Good News. Good Works.
Paul left Titus in Crete so that Titus “might put what remained into order” (Tit. 1:5a). Paul had proclaimed the gospel in town after town. And in every place where people believed, the lost sheep who were found came together … Continue reading

Training Grace
Not unusual, in my circles, to talk of saving grace–the unmerited favor of God which leads men and women to repentance of sin, and deliverance from sin’s bondage, by faith in the atoning work of the Son of God through … Continue reading
To Be or Not To Believe?
You can’t have one without the other. Professing to know God without living for God are mutually exclusive (Tit. 1:16). To really believe is to be mindful of how you actually behave. No sense claiming to embrace a systematic theology … Continue reading
