- 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)

The Pompous Pride of All Glory
Isaiah 23:17-18 hooks me. I’m intrigued by how God purposes to redeem the “merchandise and wages” of a prostitute and make them “holy to the LORD.” And so, I hover over Isaiah 23 for a bit this morning. I quickly … Continue reading
Scorn
It’s a “lesser sin to consider” that hits my radar this morning. A more “acceptable” transgression that’s giving me something to chew on. Scorn. Kind of a funny word. Not really a word that I think is used much these … Continue reading

Avoid the Pride
Let it go, Paul! It’s been four chapters already. Point made. Move on! Of all the things that were hamstringing the Corinthian church, does division merit this much discussion? Evidently. How I need ears to hear. If you’re familiar with … Continue reading
Not Enough Room in the Mirror (2016 Rerun)
This morning, I saw the effects of “the pride of Moab” played out in the elite of Jerusalem. Jeremiah 48 records the words of the LORD concerning the people of Moab. Not very good words. Words of judgment. Words of … Continue reading
Presumptuously
It’s a long word in a long summary that catches my attention this morning. A long word used only a few times in the Old Testament but twice in this morning’s reading in Nehemiah. A long word which captures a … 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

A Magnifier Against God
Reminded this morning that the OT prophets weren’t sent just to warn unfaithful Israel of wrath to come but some of their ungodly neighbors as well. While these weren’t nations in rebellion to an irrevocable covenant spoken by a holy … Continue reading
Knowledge Needs Love
What I know apart from Who I know won’t get me very far in the kingdom. That’s what I’m picking up from what Paul’s laying down this morning. Knowledge needs love. Now concerning food offered to idols: we know that … Continue reading
He Should Have Gone Home
He didn’t go home. Said he was. Said he was done trying to frustrate the purposes of God. Said he would no longer try and curse what God had determined to bless. Said that the money which had enticed him … Continue reading

Don’t Get It . . . But Get It
In one sense, I just I don’t get it. But in another sense, I do — and that scares me. This morning, I read of the rebellion of Korah in Numbers 16 and I couldn’t help but whisper to myself, … Continue reading
