- 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)

A Nomination (Again)
Chewing on my readings this morning and the thought came that a lesser-known guy in the anti-climactic part of the crucifixion story is deserving of an exhibit in the Hebrews 11 “Hall of Faith.” How come? Because he did what … Continue reading
Storming the Gates
Use your finances wisely, He said. Invest in eternity, He said. Be faithful with “unrighteous wealth” and you’ll be entrusted with “true riches”, He said. Steward well what is Another’s and in a coming day He will give you what … Continue reading
Things To Do Today (2010 Rerun)
This morning I’m hovering over Rehoboam’s story as recorded in 2Chronicles. What catches my attention in particular is the statement that “when the rule of Rehoboam was established and he was strong, he abandoned the law of the LORD” (2Chron. … Continue reading
Gen S (A 2018 Remix)
From year to year, it’s pretty infrequent that I remember this year how a passage hit me in previous years. The nice thing about getting older is that it’s “deja vu all over again” more often than not. But not … Continue reading
Treasure Management
This morning, I’m hovering over a few verses from Jesus’ sermon on the mount, and it seems to me there might well be a fine line between good stewardship and guileful slavery. “Don’t store up for yourselves treasures on earth, … Continue reading

No King but Jesus
When all was said and done, it came down to who was king. There was a lot about Jesus that Pilate didn’t get. A king over a kingdom not of this world? Huh? Fulfilling a destiny to bear witness to … Continue reading

A View of Life Beyond the Sun
If it all comes out the same in the wash “under the sun,” then truly, “behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind” under the sun (Eccl. 1:14). Hovering over the first-half of Ecclesiastes 2 this morning. Amazed at … Continue reading

Don’t Let Go
Proverbs 8 is what always seals it for me — the person of Wisdom in Proverbs is the Person of Christ. When wisdom calls, it’s Christ calling. What wisdom offers, Christ offers. To seek wisdom is to seek Christ. For, … Continue reading

Excuses
In Luke 14, Jesus didn’t need to manufacture an object lesson, He reclined at one. Dining at the house of a ruler of the Pharisees created a ready-made on-ramp for talking about wedding feasts, dinners, and banquets and how common … Continue reading

With a Whole Heart, Of a Single Mind
1Chronicles 12 reminds me that David started accumulating a following of mighty men long before he became king. That many chose to faithfully serve under the promised heir of the throne even while there were those who tried to prevent … Continue reading
