- 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)

Belief, Behavior, and Barricades
“Walked with God.” The phrase is found only three times in the Old Testament. This morning, I encountered all three occurrences. Twice in Genesis 5 it’s recorded that “Enoch walked with God” and it worked out pretty well for him. … Continue reading

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

And So We Are
Identity. Much discussion these days on our identity. For many, over the past several weeks the focus has been whether there’s an (R) or a (D) after someone’s name. People so labeled by partisan politics that to attach a letter … Continue reading
On Being John’s Partners
John introduces himself not only as a brother, but as a partner. A companion of common experience. A fellow participant. Surely, as he wrote, he was thinking of those not on the island who were experiencing some of the same … Continue reading
