- 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)

Not At All Inferior . . . Because I Am Nothing
Paul covers a lot of ground with the church at Corinth through the letter we count as his second. But underlying it all is his contending for their affection, for “room” in their hearts (2Cor. 7:2a). And so, as Paul … Continue reading
Seventy-Seven Times. That’s a Lot!
It wasn’t that the process couldn’t work that troubled Peter. I think it was more about what if it did? Jesus’ charge to go to a brother or sister who has sinned against you and tell them their fault (Matt. … Continue reading

It Reaches to the Heavens
David knew well the lengths to which “transgression speaks to the wicked deep in his heart.” He knew it from his personal experience and failure; he knew it from the hands of his enemies before whom “there is no fear … Continue reading

That God’s Work Might Be Displayed
I read in Job before reading in John this morning. In Job, Job’s buddy miserably “comforts” him with, “Man, your kids are dead, and it must be because of their sin and rebellion. You’re not, so cast yourself upon God’s … Continue reading

Limping, But Not Dislocated
“No discipline seems enjoyable at the time, but painful.” Ya’ think? Thinking this morning that I need to make the first half of Hebrews 12 mandatory reading when the going gets tough. It’s an exhortation to “run with endurance.” And … Continue reading

Apparently it’s a quote from a movie 20 years ago, but it’s a quote that comes to mind this morning as I hover some wise words of wisdom. While it’s important to put the emphaSIS on the right syllaBLE, when … Continue reading

A Choice to Be Made
Lot to pick from this morning. The “favor” (aka “grace”) theme which permeates Esther had me thinking about the book’s place within Scripture towards making Christ known. Or, when reading Philemon, pausing to consider what, for me, is usually an … Continue reading

Radical Repentance. Normative Repentance?
Honestly, I’m a little surprised I’ve never jotted down any thoughts on this chapter before. That’s because I know that in the past I’ve often chewed on it after reading the chapter’s final verse. Chewing on how hard true repentance … Continue reading
Dependent
It’s not an English word you’ll find in the ESV Old Testament. But here it is repeatedly in the CSB as I read 2 Chronicles 13-16. And it stands out. Because it sounds unfamiliar to this longtime ESV reader? Perhaps. … Continue reading
Listen to Him
They saw the glory. All lights were on Jesus . . . and in Jesus . . . and shining out from Jesus. And they saw with Him Moses and Elijah, the embodiment of the law and the prophets. And … Continue reading
