- 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)

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

Breaking Faith
It was a word specifically for the people of God, those who had been delivered from bondage, set apart as holy, and were on their way to the promised land. Guess then, I could take it as a word for … Continue reading

As I work through my daily reading plan, one of the things I’m watching for are commands to obey. This morning, I found one. Be not like a horse or a mule . . . (Psalm 32:9a ESV) How’s that … Continue reading
Ruin and Recruitment
A lament within the church for as long as I’ve been a believer has been that far too many of us in the family aren’t really in the game. That though we praise God for the benefits of new life, … Continue reading

The Corruption of a Commendable Covenant
Connecting some dots this morning between two of my readings. In Nehemiah, it’s the written, officially sealed, binding agreement of a people taking an oath of obedience. In Luke, it’s the story of a wince-invoking, offensively sanctimonious, boastful assertion of … Continue reading

Liars, and Murderers, and Family Fracturers, Oh My!
I think I’ve said it before here, but I’ll say it again: life’s circumstance has a way of creating a filter for processing the word of God. You can read the same passage year after year and never have it … Continue reading

A Sin to Confess
The problem with being a “straight shooter”, I suppose, is that you’re shooting. And where shots are fired, someone could get wounded. Not that getting wounded in and of itself is necessarily a wrong thing. Proverbs tells us that “blows … Continue reading
