He Commands All Things

Posted on July 1, 2022 by Pete

I’m still a couple of chapters away from reading the verse as part of my reading plan, but I’m reminded of the verse as I hover what I have read this morning. But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you … Continue reading →

His Will and His Word

Posted on January 19, 2022 by Pete

This morning, I’m hovering over two back-to-back healings recorded by Matthew. Stories of faith. One of which causes even Jesus to be impressed. But while Jesus may take note of those who express faith, I’m in wonder this morning of … Continue reading →

Authority and Peace

Posted on December 7, 2020 by Pete

Authority. That’s the word that caught my attention this morning — I’m guessing, prompted by the Spirit who is the One who illuminates God’s word. And, in kind of a circuitous route, found that authority and peace can be closely … Continue reading →

Simple. Not Easy.

Posted on November 26, 2020 by Pete

At first I think it’s a gimme. A tap in. An easy shot. A no-brainer. But as I chew on it, while I may think it’s simple, if I’m honest with myself I know that far too often it isn’t … Continue reading →

Posted on April 1, 2020 by Pete

Even the Fringe of His Garment

Posted on April 12, 2019 by Pete

He Didn’t Know. But Jesus Knew.

Posted on November 2, 2018 by Pete

Fuel for Faithfulness

Posted on June 21, 2017 by Pete

Perhaps what’s as inspiring about the apostle Paul as anything else is his unwavering sense of call and purpose. Maybe that’s what encounters with the risen Christ on a road to Damascus can do to a guy. Whether it was … Continue reading →

Jesus Cares

Posted on March 28, 2017 by Pete

His words were few. His situation was evident. His desperation understandable. So there was no need for a lot of explanation on his part. Instead, the leper approached Jesus, fell to his knees and, according to Mark’s account, begged Him … Continue reading →

The Promise and The Power

Posted on September 23, 2016 by Pete

Confession time: I do lousy at long-distance relationships. I don’t see you, I have a tough time (aka I fail miserably) keeping in touch with you. I envy those who phone, write, and travel in order to maintain relationships with … Continue reading →
