The Lord Knows

Posted on August 12, 2024 by Pete

Two pieces of teaching come together this morning, one from Jesus and the other from Paul. Kingdom teaching connected to comfort teaching. First, Jesus is asked by the Pharisees (like they really wanted to know) “when the kingdom of God … Continue reading →

Ink in Heaven

Posted on July 9, 2024 by Pete

It must have been a rush for all seventy-two of them. They were laborers sent into the harvest. They were also lambs deployed amongst wolves (Lk. 10:1-3). Their message? “The kingdom of God has come near” Their power? The healing … Continue reading →

Theos Martus (2014 Rerun)

Posted on July 5, 2024 by Pete

Back in 2014, on this morning in my reading plan, it was the Spirit connecting the dots in real time. This morning, it’s my journal reminding me of the dots connected. But it’s the same Spirit priming the pump of … Continue reading →

Fully Known (2017 Rerun)

Too late a night last night . . . not early enough a morning this morning. Opted for reading over writing. So went back into my archives. Encouraged by these thoughts from 7 years ago. Opening up 1Corinthians 13 usually … Continue reading →

A People Watcher

Posted on May 4, 2021 by Pete

Ask me what Jesus did in the temple and my immediate answer would be that He cleaned house, overturning tables, shutting down commerce, and evicting money changers (Mk. 11:15). Ask me, what else? And if I thought about it long … Continue reading →

Faith to Face

Posted on February 5, 2021 by Pete

This morning I awoke, put another pillow under my head, laid back and with eyes closed whispered, “Good morning, Father. Good morning, Lord Jesus.” Able to do this because of the Spirit within me. Kind of Trinitarian moment, it now … Continue reading →

I’ve Got My Eye on You

Posted on February 3, 2021 by Pete

Chewing on God’s vision this morning. Vision, not as in His plans for the future, but vision, as in what He sees today. 20/20 vision. Perfect vision. All knowing vision. I get that. Not surprised by it. It’s kind of … Continue reading →

I Know

Posted on November 24, 2020 by Pete

Hovering over the first seventeen verses of Revelation chapter two this morning. Chewing on the first three of seven letters written to the churches in Asia. Casting an eye on the pages I’ve just marked up which reflect the well-known … Continue reading →

A Promise

Posted on July 3, 2020 by Pete

I don’t think that I’ve ever marked the verse as a “promise” before, but this morning it seemed not only appropriate, but so comforting. In this post- quarantine, mid-pandemic season, when leaving our homes seems to be the right thing … Continue reading →
