- 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)

Humbled
Been talking about humility with some guys from my church over the past few weeks. Brother! You’d think that by now — after so many years of seeking to follow Christ — holding up that mirror would not still be … Continue reading

Don’t Want to Be a Lightweight
You get the sense that Belshazzar should have known better. After all, he knew of the humbling of his predecessor, the legendary Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon. The story had been told and retold of how, at the height of arrogance, … Continue reading
Unworthy Servants
Good for nothing. Pretty harsh words when used of someone else. Considered by our culture to be especially inappropriate, self-harming words when used of ourselves. Good for nothing. That’s the literal translation of the Greek word achreios — a word … Continue reading
Reform Is Not Necessarily Revival
Thirty-one years. Not enough time. Over three decades of legislated obedience and holiness. And, except for one king and perhaps a small remnant, it didn’t really make much of a difference. While there was over a quarter of a century … Continue reading
People Like Him
Wrapped up Philippians 2 this morning. The chapter begins with a call to humility and ends with a command to honor. (Hmm . . . humility to honor . . . sounds like opposite ends of a spectrum to me.) … Continue reading

You Know It When You See It
Hovering over the first part of Philippians 2 this morning. Noodling on the One who existed in the form of God but did not consider equality with God a thing to be grasped. The One who emptied Himself, taking on … 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
It might not be exactly aligned but I think it is applicable. The “weakness” Paul recounts to the Corinthians in 2Corinthians 11:24-28 had to do with what he endured as a messenger of the gospel. Things which, for those who … Continue reading

Readied for the Next Season
Wherever we are, we’re not there yet. How ever far we’ve come, we’ve still got some road to travel. Coming out of the wilderness, there’s still a promised land to prepare for. That’s some of what I’m picking from what … Continue reading
