Put Away (2008 Remix)

Posted on May 16, 2025 by Pete

As I look back in the archives, the format of my journaling was a little different back in the early days. Obvious this morning as I read some thoughts from 2008. But regardless of how I rendered my words, the … Continue reading →

I Lay Down My Life

Posted on November 8, 2024 by Pete

Small reading in John’s gospel this morning, but a pretty big idea comes across. Only 11 verses, but one phrase repeated four times. Took just a few minutes to read, but from them given an eternity to respond. “I am … Continue reading →

Atonement for All You Have Done

Posted on October 27, 2023 by Pete

Hovering over an Old Testament story. In my CSB the translators have entitled the chapter “Parable of God’s Adulterous Wife.” And what a story it is. A story told by the LORD God in His own words. A story of … Continue reading →

Reminded this morning that while I may not be perfect (I new that well before this morning), I am perfected. For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are sanctified. (Hebrews 10:14 CSB) The letter written to the … Continue reading →

Just As the Lord Commanded

Posted on February 8, 2023 by Pete

No Guilt In Him, My Guilt On Him

Posted on September 9, 2021 by Pete

These days my reading plan has me feeding on Jesus, as He makes His way to the cross, in “bite-sized” chunks. All of it is pretty familiar stuff. But oh, if I slow down and “chew my food” well, there … Continue reading →

Praise God for the Other Book

Posted on December 20, 2019 by Pete

There’s always been a lot of debate on how the end times play out. Smart people on multiple sides of a debate on what in Scripture is to be taken literally and what should be understood figuratively. Views on where … Continue reading →

Who Is A God Like Our God?

Posted on December 11, 2019 by Pete

You don’t see it every time, but there’s a pattern in the prophets that’s unmistakable. Amidst the prophets’ warning of judgment there is the promise of reconciliation. Though God, in a sense, was “done” with His people after there persistent, … Continue reading →

Because of The Touch

Posted on February 11, 2019 by Pete
