Posted on January 6, 2022 by Pete

Chewing on something this morning that I know I’ve read many times before but somehow feel like I’m only noticing for the first time. When Jesus came, according to Mark, He came preaching “the gospel of God” (Mk. 1:14). Matthew … Continue reading →

Testimony. A solemn declaration of what is true or actual. Testify. To bear witness. To give evidence or proof of something existing or being the case. Hovering over 1John 5:6-12 this morning. And there’s a whole lot of testifying going … Continue reading →

Posted on April 27, 2021 by Pete

The best is yet to come. For the believer that’s always a true statement. No matter how good it has been, the best is yet to come. No matter how good it is, or might get, the best is still … Continue reading →

Without an Ounce of Exaggeration

Posted on September 7, 2020 by Pete

A Resurrection Like His

Posted on March 5, 2020 by Pete

Beyond the Sun

That Age

Posted on August 20, 2019 by Pete

Since the day Jesus arrived back in Jerusalem, riding on a colt and receiving the praise of the crowd (Lk.19:28-40), He taught daily in the temple (19:47). And like any good teacher, He provided opportunity for Q&A. But those who … Continue reading →

First Mention of The Saints

Posted on March 21, 2019 by Pete

Reading in Matthew this morning and the account of Jesus’ death. And what particularly captured my attention were the events recorded immediately after “Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up His spirit” (27:50). And behold, the … Continue reading →

Let Grace Reign!

Posted on March 6, 2019 by Pete

Sin is like a spreading disease. Grace like a covering cure. Sin, like yeast, starts at the place where it is introduced and then dispenses itself and permeates everything that touches it leading to death. Grace is sourced outside of … Continue reading →

Eternal Economics

Posted on February 27, 2019 by Pete

Hovering over Psalm 49 this morning. A song, it seems to me, about economics. Eternal economics. The songwriter solving a riddle with lyrics and melody (v.4) as he considers the ultimate advantage of wealth. (Spoiler alert . . . none). … Continue reading →
