- 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)

Our “No” Being Turned Into A “Yes”
Sometimes it’s just used as more fuel for the fire for those who want to take a shot at “impetuous Peter” as an example of what not to do. As in you don’t say, “No, Lord!” But what if you … Continue reading

Lord, Will I?
Okay, the problem with being captivated with the first part of a passage is that it kind of sets you up for the next part. Yesterday, I was in awe of a Sovereign who would bow at His subjects’ feet … Continue reading

Being Okay with My Weakness

Do We Need to Fight?
It was a quick conversation. A passing comment / counter-comment chat in the restroom quickly conducted between washing and drying our hands. Used to be those were light chats about the weather or the local sports team. Now, seems every … Continue reading

I Don’t Know Why
They’re back to back, certainly it’s no accident. You can’t help but think the contrasting facts are intentionally juxtaposed against one another so that we’ll pick up on something that’s being laid down. The what is easy? It’s the why … Continue reading
