The word of God is living and active . . . (Hebrews 4:12)

How Shall I Make Atonement?
Something was wrong. So wrong it resulted in divine displeasure — famine for three years. Thus, David “sought the face of the Lord” (2Sam. 21:1). Good move. But then, it seems, David took matters into his own hands. Reading 2 … Continue reading
Leave It With Him
If God, in His very being and essence, is holy, righteous, and just (and He is), and if we are image-bearers of God (and we are), then it shouldn’t surprise us that at our core we too are wired for … Continue reading
Bringing Forth Justice
I read the familiar verses, and I reach for my dark green colored-pencil to underline the phrase. But then I pause, and instead grab my red colored-pencil. Behold My Servant, whom I uphold,My chosen, in whom My soul delights;I have … Continue reading

If there’s sub-plot that you pick up from Jeremiah, it’s that he wasn’t just a prophet, he was a person too. He didn’t just speak the mind of God concerning “current events”, he endured them. And it wasn’t just his … Continue reading

Three Years
Another reading in Judges. Another story of power. Power in the world’s way. And what’s caused me to pause this morning is that it seemed to work, and seemed to work for a pretty long time — three years. Three … Continue reading

Keep It Cool
Up until this morning, I would have said it was one of my favorite psalms. But a light goes on as I hover over David’s song and I realize that it’s more like a psalm that contains some of my … Continue reading

Fret Not Yourself
They are like old friends. Verses that I haven’t read for probably a year. But they were implanted within me as a young believer and have been part of me ever since. While our formal interactions may not be frequent, … Continue reading
