- 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)

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

Seventy-Seven Times
“I’ll take hard-to-obey commands of Jesus for $1,000, Alex.” “Okay. And the answer is: On this one you’ll want to go with the ESV’s seventy-seven rather than the CSB’s seventy times seven. But in reality, you’re not gonna be crazy … Continue reading
“It’s What I Do”
Jonah was on my reading plan this morning. Love this story! Just to observe again how God interacts with everything — from stubborn prophets, to whirling winds, to raging seas, to shaking-in-their boots sailors, to big fish, to a city … Continue reading
The Only “We”
It’s not so much about a condition, but more about character. Not a quid pro quo — I’ll do so that You’ll do — but more of a “because You have done, how can I not?” It’s the only “we … Continue reading
Go or Overlook?
Holy tension, Batman! That’s what I encountered this morning, some holy tension. Forgiveness has been a preoccupying topic for me for the past several months. Have spent more than a little time on “Why Should I?” and “How Can I?” … 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
Forgiveness and Fear
If we were playing a game of word association, I’m not sure they’d be the two words most quickly, or even most likely to be put together. No one would be surprised if you heard “black” in response to “white.” … Continue reading

A “Step One” Savior
Don’t know if I’m connecting dots here that should be connected, but let’s run with it. Hovering over Matthew 18:15-20, a “go to” passage when it comes to church discipline. A progressive path towards calling a brother (or sister) to … Continue reading
From Beginning to End, Forgive
Hovering over the Lord’s prayer in Matthew 6 this morning. Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily … Continue reading
Forgive
That Solomon is taken over by the Spirit of God in his prayer of dedication for the temple is beyond obvious. If there’s any question about it, the sure sign of being filled by the Spirit, prophesying, is more than … Continue reading
