Where Grumbling Abounds . . .

Posted on January 31, 2024 by Pete

Chewing on Exodus 16 this morning, and there’s repetition — boy, is there repetition. The newly delivered-from-Egypt, on-their-way-to-the-land-promised people of God, being fresh off of walking through a walled-up Red Sea, find what you’re gonna find in the wilderness, the … Continue reading →

Go Again

Posted on November 27, 2023 by Pete

You get the sense that to say, “She played the field” would have been an understatement. To say, “She was loose” would have been to state the obvious. But to say, “She was a prostitute?” Well, the CSB indicates that … Continue reading →

Grace Will Reign

Posted on March 2, 2023 by Pete

“Death through Adam and Life through Christ”, that’s the heading in my bible for the latter part of Romans 5. The contrasting impacts between the first man’s disobedience and the God-Man’s obedience. The first providing sin the opportunity to infect … Continue reading →

Lord, Do You . . . ?

Posted on November 21, 2022 by Pete

It did not compute. Nope, didn’t make sense. Try as he might, Peter couldn’t wrap his head around Jesus wrapping the towel around. Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come … Continue reading →

Again

Posted on August 26, 2022 by Pete

Chewing on Ephesians 2:1-10 this morning. But God, being rich in mercy . . . Therein lies the force behind the great reversal we call salvation. The reversal from being “dead in trespasses and sins” in which we once walked … Continue reading →
