Posted on October 27, 2022 by Pete

Been a weird week. Been a struggle just to feed on the word in the morning much less try and share a meal. But this morning it’s still quiet and I’m reading in Ezekiel. Captured afresh by the thought of … Continue reading →

My Good or His Glory? Yes!

Posted on April 5, 2021 by Pete

Psalm 83 tickled my “taste buds” this morning. First time, as near as I can remember or tell from my journal, that I’ve paused to reflect on this psalm. Not surprised that I’ve never paused here before. It doesn’t really … Continue reading →

For the Sake of God’s Glory

Posted on May 5, 2020 by Pete

Connecting a couple of dots this morning from my readings. Somewhat in awe of Paul’s all-out commitment to the Corinthians. Why did he care about them so much? But then wondering, if at its core, it isn’t the same dynamic … Continue reading →

Not Just for Our Good

Posted on March 19, 2020 by Pete

Until I got to the songwriter’s song this morning, I was kind of overwhelmed by the sheer volume of “commands to obey” I was highlighting in my readings in Deuteronomy and Romans. Ready to perhaps compare and contrast, in some … Continue reading →

Look and Listen

Posted on February 13, 2020 by Pete

It Really Isn’t About Us

Posted on November 13, 2019 by Pete

His Perfect Patience

Posted on July 24, 2019 by Pete

He had known this daughter of Abraham (Lk. 13:10-17) from her beginning. After all, He knit her in her mother’s womb. He knew her in her “unformed substance.” What’s more, before she had even taken her first breath, He had … Continue reading →

Moses Worshiped When Moses Asked

Posted on February 8, 2019 by Pete

It was over. That holy, sacred, once in a lifetime encounter of the divine kind had ceased. The goodness of God has passed before Moses. The cloud had descended. The name of the LORD had been proclaimed. From the protection … Continue reading →

He Heard

Posted on February 1, 2019 by Pete

What were they thinking? Hadn’t they just walked out of Egypt loaded down with Egyptian plunder? Hadn’t they just walked on dry ground through walls of water that once were the impassible Red Sea? Hadn’t they witnessed those same waters … Continue reading →

The Effort for One Man

Posted on November 19, 2018 by Pete

Lord willing, I’m covering the pulpit this weekend. Don’t do it very often so, when I do, it can become a source of anxiety (don’t know if that’s the right word, exactly) as the immensity of preaching God’s word is … Continue reading →
