- 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)

Honey from the Rock
A few months ago, one of my daughters sent me a link to a song that she’d been loving. It kind of grabbed me too. Kind of a country vibe (kind of my thing), but more importantly very much a … Continue reading

Released in Order to Serve
Released from the law (Romans 6:6a). Catches my attention. Commence chewing. Freed from what once held us captive. Delivered from that which once held dominion. Its force forfeited. Its power put away. Its condemnation conquered. We have been released from … Continue reading
Obedient from the Heart
It’s almost 46 years later and I still remember a conversation in an old pickup truck as I was being driven to a beach party where we were gathering with other “college and career” folks from our small church. I … Continue reading
And Water Came Out Abundantly
Late to the devo table this morning because kids at home were early out of bed (WAY TOO EARLY). But hey, if they’re done before noon, they can still count as morning devos. Yes? I think so. This morning a … Continue reading

A Willing Spirit
I think I’ve noted this before, but if those who put together my reading plan intended to have Romans 3 and Psalm 51 on the same day, it was a masterful move. To align “all have sinned” (Rom. 3:23) and … Continue reading
Slave or Free? Yes!
If you’ve ever heard me talk about it, you know that one of the things which I think has weakened the North American church has been a generation of seeker friendly church. In the name of trying to remove barriers … Continue reading
The Corruption of a Commendable Covenant
Connecting some dots this morning between two of my readings. In Nehemiah, it’s the written, officially sealed, binding agreement of a people taking an oath of obedience. In Luke, it’s the story of a wince-invoking, offensively sanctimonious, boastful assertion of … Continue reading

Write It Off
Brief thought this morning on something I read in 2Chronicles 25. Who about? Amaziah, king of Judah. What about? Military ambition. Amaziah’s got an itch to stir things up with the nations around Judah. So, he counts his soldiers. Three … Continue reading
I Can’t Even Walk . . .
Oh, that it were a “just do it” sort of thing. That obedience was solely a matter of the will. That walking in the way was what you did by default once you set your heart on the way. But … Continue reading

Pragmatism and Power
Chewing on King Saul this morning. Actually, he’s kind of gnawing on me. First “aha”? Saul reigned as king longer than David did. Unlike my ESV, the CSB translators (along with the NASB and NIV translators) believe there’s a “typo” … Continue reading
