- 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)

It Will Be Performed
I was naïve and he was being smug. It was the mid ’80’s, I was still pretty young in the faith, and I was eating up Josh McDowell’s “Evidence That Demands a Verdict.” Armed with all that “evidence”, I figured … Continue reading
Dealing with Some Dissonance
Not sure I’m going to be able to adequately capture in a few words what I’m chewing on this morning. It’s one of the those “contrast” mornings where there’s conflicting, maybe even colliding observations from two of my readings. First, … Continue reading

A Wineskin in the Smoke
Hovering over a couple of verses in Psalm 119 and chewing on where the songwriter turns when he’s all dried up; where he goes when there’s nothing left in the tank and the tank itself is starting to crack under … Continue reading
A Holy, Holy, Holy Hope
Hebrews 6 sure knows how to take you on a bit of a roller-coaster ride. From the unsettling uncertainties of “falling away” (6:4-6) to the absolute assuredness of being “heirs of the promise” because of God’s “unchangeable purpose” (6:17). That’s … Continue reading
The One Unfailing Constant
Two despondent soul conditions. Seven urgent asks. One unfailing constant. That’s what I’m hovering over this morning as I chew on Psalm 119:25-32. Love the way Peterson gets to the heart of the songwriter’s desperate soul condition. I’m feeling terrible—I … Continue reading

The Stability of Our Times
I know enough about reading Isaiah that, within the prophecies of days of judgment and days of restoration, there is pictured events which are imminent and events which are little further off in the future. Judah to be judged soon, … Continue reading
Behind the Curtain
Most often (like maybe always) I think of our hope as a hope which looks up to heaven. But this morning I’m reminded it’s also a hope that should prompt me to remember what’s behind the curtain. We have this … Continue reading

An Unfailing Word
Entered into Romans 9 this morning. While very familiar, like Romans 8, I’ve never felt like I’ve got my arms around it like I think I do with Romans 8. Perhaps because, unlike Romans 8 which unpacks the supernatural working … Continue reading

An Anchor Behind the Curtain
We have an anchor of the soul. That’s what’s resonating this morning as I read the last half of Hebrews 6. And who doesn’t need an anchor these days? Something that is sure? Something which can hold fast? But what … Continue reading

Lest We Drift Away
Last night I was talking with a friend. We talked about work, relationships, kids, and home projects. And then added the pressure of recognizing that God wired us for rest-cycles, and that we needed to figure out how to fit … Continue reading
