- 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)

Hand on Mouth (2017 Remix)
Sticks and stones may break my bones . . . and when the Almighty’s doing the name-calling, that’s gotta hurt too! Not that God harmfully throws down insults from heaven. But the One who searches the soul and spirits of … Continue reading

A Little Play Acting Here, A Bit of Cover Up There
A crowd had gathered to hear the Savior, but they pushed and shoved and treated each other with “insulting neglect” (Greek Lexicon). They were purportedly there to hear the truth but failed to see the incongruity of stepping on one … Continue reading

Like Hitting a Bad Note
It really is kind of a shocking end to what’s been a magnificent and glorious opus. And what an opus Psalm 119 has been. It’s been a song to beat all other songs — not just in length, not just … Continue reading
Offensive
This morning, I’m chewing on five words in the fifth chapter of Paul’s letter to the Galatians. And, if I’m picking up what is being laid down, as much as we might try to respectfully and winsomely persuade others (2Cor. … Continue reading

Continuing in the early chapters of Genesis this morning, and I’m drawn to three questions. And as I chew on them, I’m inclined to thinking of them as questions of grace. And [Adam and Eve] heard the sound of the … Continue reading
I Did It My Way
Chronological snobbery. Ever heard that term? First coined by C.S. Lewis, it essentially is the belief that whatever was before was inferior. That our thinking today is better than the thinking of yesterday simply because we are “more advanced” than … Continue reading
Grieved Into Repenting
Truth is, give me the choice between happy and sad and I’ll take happy every time. Don’t care much for sad. Just as soon avoid sorrow. Even less a fan of the sort of heartache caused by someone calling me … Continue reading
Secret Sins
My bible says Psalm 90 is a prayer of Moses. And as you read it, you gotta think that this a poem written while he led them in laps around the wilderness. A time when all were keenly aware that … Continue reading

Take Your Place at the Table
Hovering over a few verses in Mark this morning (Mark 2:13-17). Pretty well known, it portrays a picture of a bunch of people around a dining table in a tax collector’ house — a tax collector, Levi, who has become … Continue reading
