- 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)

“Woman, Behold Your Son” (2018 Rerun)
It’s an annual experience. As best I can recall, the two words, “standing nearby”, have almost always jumped off the page when I’ve worked my way through this day’s reading plan. From the cross, Jesus saw His mother standing nearby. … Continue reading

Metanoia
A guy I used to work with said to me years ago, “Paranoia is just smart thinking when everyone’s against ya’.” Hard to argue with that. Well, this morning the Spirit’s reminding me that metanoia is just smart thinking when … Continue reading
Offensive
This morning, I’m chewing on five words in the fifth chapter of Paul’s letter to the Galatians. And, if I’m picking up what is being laid down, as much as we might try to respectfully and winsomely persuade others (2Cor. … Continue reading

Again
There was a story I used to tell about the kind of disciplinarian my mom was when I was a kid. Can’t remember the incident but here’s how I recalled one instance of her “progressive discipline”. The immediate reaction to … Continue reading

Worth Everything
We can’t help but place ourselves in the story. After all, isn’t that what good biblical application is all about? So, as I hover over Esther 5 this morning, where do I show up? I’m certainly not the king. Don’t … Continue reading

The LORD’s Delight
More and more I find myself reading the last 21 chapters of Proverbs increasingly like the Sermon on the Mount rather than as just a checklist to make sure I’m on the right track. To be sure, the plethora of … Continue reading
