- 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)

Hero of the Faith
It’s kind of weird how many “heroes” seem to have emerged from the book of Judges. How guys like Samson and Gideon have become Sunday School celebrities though they were part of “Gen D”, as in “a generation that Did … Continue reading
Eating is Believing
To say that I’m chewing on the latter part of John 6 this morning is an understatement (actually, it’s more like a pun). Jesus has fed five thousand (6:1-11) and the crowds are pressing Him for more (6:22-26). Jesus seizes … Continue reading
Consequences of Faith
Last Friday’s meal on Hebrews 11, which focused on some of the works which accompany faith, seems somewhat bland in comparison to what I’m chewing on this morning as I conclude Hebrews 11. It’s one thing to be encouraged towards … Continue reading

More Than A Feeling
Defining faith. That’s what I’m doing this morning as I mentally chew on the first half of Hebrews 11. Ask me what faith is before this morning’s reading and I probably would have been quick to give a one-word answer, … Continue reading
Unworthy Servants
Good for nothing. Pretty harsh words when used of someone else. Considered by our culture to be especially inappropriate, self-harming words when used of ourselves. Good for nothing. That’s the literal translation of the Greek word achreios — a word … Continue reading
Good News in the Midst of Bad Stuff
Met someone for coffee yesterday, someone I had only met casually before. This was to be our first “real conversation.” And real it was. We could have talked about March Madness and the college basketball that had just finished. Or, … Continue reading
A Red Thread
A scarlet cord in the window? Really? How about a big, flashing, neon sign over the house? After all, this is a life and death situation. When the battle’s a raging and the walls are a tumbling, I’m going to … Continue reading
Hoping Against Hope
He had been promised he would be the father of many nations. But we know the story, Abraham had great difficulty becoming the father of but one child. And yet, as I read Romans 4 this morning, he is called … Continue reading

The God Who Allows It
A repeated phrase in Revelation 13 grabs my attention this morning. Though I would love for the original language behind it to be unique and special, it isn’t. In fact, it appears it’s more the ESV translators that, for some … Continue reading
Do You Believe This?
It’s a question for the ages. One of those questions that’s going to get asked multiple times throughout our lives. The question that, in a sense, overrules all other questions. Her brother was dead, she was distraught, and for days … Continue reading
