- 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)

How Heavy is Heaven?
True confession . . . I start most days with the NY Times and a quick scan of the headlines (right after I do the day’s Wordle). And then, as time permits, over the course of the morning I tap … Continue reading

Stirring It Up
So much separated them, and yet one thing connected them. He was a pagan, they were the people of God. He was a king, they were the conquered. He was a sovereign, they were survivors. He had all the earthly … Continue reading
It’s Still a Promise
I push back from my desk and realize afresh that this is why, by God’s grace, I purpose to read through the bible every year. It’s because I forget what I shouldn’t. Even well-known passages and verses can fade from … Continue reading

Rekindle It!

Renewed in Knowledge
This morning, I’m hovering over Colossians 3:1-11. In particular, I’m chewing on a truth that already is and yet is still becoming. A dynamic that is present in the life of every follower of Jesus, though our participation impacts its … Continue reading

Give Us Life
A couple of weeks ago I got to listen in on a Q&A session. The Qs were coming from a group of pastors who all serve faithfully in small communities and churches in rural Southwest America. The A’s were humbly … Continue reading
Last Words among Last Words
Wrapped up about 20 days in 1 and 2 Peter. Peter’s last letters to those taking it in the teeth for Jesus. Peter’s final exhortations for those in the pressure cooker of oppression, dispersion, and some confusion about the end … Continue reading

A Conduit for Refreshing Hearts
It really was a big ask on Paul’s part. Receive back a runaway slave as a brother. No punishment, though it was due. No making him an example before the others slaves, though it would have been prudent. No demanding … Continue reading

His Word, His Steadfast Love
“Oops!” I think to myself, “colored that wrong.” Working my way through another stanza of Psalm 119 this morning which means I’m picking up my orange colored pencil (orange pencil crayon for my Canadian brothers and sisters) frequently as I … Continue reading

Drinking Deep at an Oasis
It occurs to me this morning that some portions of Scripture are like an oasis. When times are good, when there’s lots of rain in the land, it’s easy to pass right by them. Sure, you take notice of their … Continue reading
