- 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)

A Tree of Life
It’s a three-word phrase that’s caught my attention this morning. Not an obscure phrase, but one pretty well known. Doing a bit of e-concordance work and I find the phrase occurs only 11 times in my bible and pops up … Continue reading

Five words. I’m chewing on just five words this morning. And one word kind of captures the taste in my mouth – overwhelming! In this day of expressive individualism, where human flourishing is equated with being seen for “who I … Continue reading
The Shadows or The Shadow-Caster?
Paul didn’t say they were wrong or bad. Didn’t say they had no value. But he did warn that they were not the way nor the best. Warned that they shouldn’t be embraced as the things above all things or … Continue reading
Lost in Christ
While our current culture of “expressive individualism” may have accelerated it, it’s actually been going on for a while within the church. Sometime in our past, in order to battle dead, lifeless religion, we started talking instead about a “personal … Continue reading
In the Lord
Identity. For those who have ears to hear, there’s a lot of talk these days about identity. Who we are. What we is. As I wrap up Romans this morning, a couple of short, repeated phrases remind me of my … Continue reading
In Christ Jesus (2014 Remix)
I’d almost defy any blood-bought believer to sit down with Romans 8, read it in one thoughtful sitting, and not be in a different place when they finish the chapter from where they were when they began it. It is … Continue reading
Belief, Behavior, and Barricades

Abide In Him
Hmm . . . I guess John was listening. Ask me about “abiding” and John 15 comes to mind first as the go to passage. There, Jesus talks of a vine (aka Him) and branches (aka His followers) and the … Continue reading

Hovering over the first four verses of Colossians 3 this morning. Be heavenly minded. That, in a nutshell, is Paul’s exhortation to the Colossians. Seek the things above. Set your minds on things above. Don’t think like the world thinks, … Continue reading
For the Sake of Another
He crossed the line. Eventually Solomon’s unlimited wealth and unbridled passion caught up with him, “for when Solomon was old his wives turned away his heart after other gods, and his heart was not wholly true to the LORD his … Continue reading
