A Willing Heart

Posted on February 14, 2018 by Pete

I’m a sucker for happy endings. Maybe that’s why I get all squishy inside as I read the final chapters of Exodus. I know, I know . . . the end of the book isn’t the end of the journey. … Continue reading →

The Glory

Posted on October 25, 2017 by Pete

Chewing on the opening chapters of Ezekiel this morning. And while a picture might be worth a thousand words, a thousand words are inadequate to describe the vision Ezekiel beheld by the Chebar canal. In the opening chapter, Ezekiel describes … Continue reading →

Did I Not Tell You?

Posted on November 9, 2016 by Pete

Whether you consider yourself on the winning side, the losing side, or on no side at all, I can’t imagine that anyone is not in a bit of shock and awe this morning. I didn’t stay up to watch the … Continue reading →

Amazing Grace . . . Not Arbitrary Grace

Posted on November 8, 2016 by Pete

Monday’s are my Sabbath. They are my down day. No alarm, rarely a schedule. My day to recoup, renew, and “rejoice in the wife of my youth” (Prov. 5:18). Thus, on most Mondays, while I will read, I usually won’t … Continue reading →

Not Enough Room in the Mirror

Posted on October 13, 2016 by Pete

This morning I saw the effects of “the pride of Moab” played out in the elite of Jerusalem. Jeremiah 48 records the words of the LORD as they concern the people of Moab. Not very good words. Words of judgment. … Continue reading →
