Untamable

Posted on December 18, 2018 by Pete

I wonder if our familiarity with the Nativity doesn’t have, if not a damaging effect, sometimes a dulling one. That we can look in the manger, see the Baby, and subconsciously think to ourselves, “That’s a manageable God.” We behold … Continue reading →

Jehovah-Asah

Posted on December 6, 2018 by Pete

A King’s Prayer

Posted on July 17, 2017 by Pete

Reading about King Jehoshaphat this morning in 2Chronicles. This guy intrigues me. Talk about a leader who was firing on 7 out of 8 cylinders. Walked in the ways of David, rejected the ways of the Baals, obeyed the LORD … Continue reading →
