- 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)

Have This Mind
Got back this weekend from a week away with the whole family. What a blessing. But what a hit my morning routine takes. Good to be back at my desk . . . Give me the choice, and I’ll take … Continue reading

Which is Yours
Traveling again this week. This time in the mountains of Colorado. Again hanging with some pretty impressive pastors. These a little less rural, a bit more suburban, but with the same passion to go and make disciples. So, finding limited … Continue reading
A Conversion Thing or A Sanctification Thing?
Hovering over the opening verses of Matthew 18 this morning and I’m struck that while as parents (and grandparents) we’re focused on wanting our kids to grow up, the Father wants His to “grow down.” And I’m asking myself, is … Continue reading
Hold Fast with Humility
Okay, I may be about to misapply a principle of salvation, but here goes. Let’s see how this plays. Reading in James this morning. Reminded that our salvation is God’s doing, that it is He who “brought us forth by … Continue reading
A Two-Step Miracle
It’s unique among Jesus’ healings, but I’m wondering this morning if it shouldn’t be considered normative. Jesus comes to the village of Bethsaida where He encounters a blind guy begging Jesus to “touch him” (Mark 8:22). And touch him Jesus … Continue reading
More Grace (2018 Rerun)
If I thought it “a bit disturbing” back in ’18, I might consider it downright unsettling in 2024. We are still quarreling and still fighting. And while the “what’s” of our disagreements may be legitimate and substantive, the “how’s” of … Continue reading

Humble Myself. Really?
In case I missed it when I was reading in 2 Chronicles this morning, my reading in Psalm 149 punctuated it. This morning’s word to chew on: “humble.” I read about three kings of Judah; Hezekiah, his son, Manasseh, and … Continue reading
Inferiority Complex or Divine Awareness?
Hovering over a couple of verses in Ephesians 3 this morning. Not the “money verses” that talk about who I am in Christ. Instead, I’m guessing, the mostly overlooked verses of who Paul thought he was for Christ. Of this … Continue reading

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

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
