- 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)

We Must Give An Account
Read that title again. We must give an account. Who’s the we? You and me. What must we do eventually? Give an account. Literally, give a speech. Provide an answer. Give an explanation. Render a reckoning. Okay . . . … Continue reading
Full
Acts 6 this morning. And I’ve got Stephen on the mind. What grabs me is that he was full. “Therefore, brothers, pick out from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we … Continue reading

A Use It or Lose It Thing
