- 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)

The Word of God in our Hands, the Spirit of God in our Hearts
This morning it’s the concluding verses of 1John 2 which grab my attention. Like, REALLY grab my attention! As in, “Don’t skim past this, Pete . . . This is profound! This is jaw-dropping! . . . Hover over it … Continue reading
What’s the Therefore There For?
This morning the chewing seems a little harder. Arrested by a verse that normally, I think, I’d just pass over. But it’s a therefore — and trying to be clear on what it’s there for — that’s got me thinking. … Continue reading
Abide In Him
Hmm . . . I guess John was listening. Ask me about “abiding” and John 15 comes to mind first as the go to passage. There, Jesus talks of a vine (aka Him) and branches (aka His followers) and the … Continue reading
By This We Know – Part II
Yesterday, I was reminded that our salvation is more than just a profession of faith, it is more so a possession of the evidences of faith. That to claim you believe in a certain truth will manifest itself in that … Continue reading
Abide and Obey
Short thought this morning. Something out of 1 John. Not overly complicated but a source of great confidence. A to do which, John says, will have a directly connect “to be.” A purposeful pursuit which will have a practical payout. … Continue reading

A Blessing Here and Now
I had a brief conversation with someone yesterday who “had to admit” their faith was being shaken somewhat by the suffering being experienced by various people within our church family. I empathized with her empathy for those who are dealing … Continue reading
What More To Do?

Enriched
Three words. That’s what I’m chewing on this morning. Two of those words popping, I’m sure, because of a book I’ve been reading by Rankin Wilbourne on the doctrine of our Union with Christ — in which one of the … Continue reading

The God of My Life
In one sense it strikes me as an apt psalm for expressing some of the collateral damage experienced during a pandemic. As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for You, O God. My soul thirsts for … Continue reading

Simple. Not Easy.
At first I think it’s a gimme. A tap in. An easy shot. A no-brainer. But as I chew on it, while I may think it’s simple, if I’m honest with myself I know that far too often it isn’t … Continue reading
