The word of God is living and active . . . (Hebrews 4:12)

Pay Attention to Me?
Hovering over Job 23 this morning. And it occurs to me that Job’s issue wasn’t that he didn’t know who God was. I actually think Job had a pretty accurate understanding of the nature of God. He acknowledges God as … Continue reading
An Inferior Brand of Righteousness
If anyone had a legitimate reason to boast in their own righteousness, Paul says, it was him. And I think he was right. I don’t think he was blinded by pride, but provided a realistic assessment of pedigree. When he … Continue reading

The Dross and The Tin
Started in on Isaiah this morning. No beating around the bush with this prophet. No “setting up” what’s to come. Nope, he comes out of the gate fast and furious. Decrying rebellious children (Isa. 1:2). Calling out a “sinful nation, … Continue reading

Majoring on the Minors
Though they should have been staring into his eyes, they were instead fixated on the mud stains on his shirt. Though they should have been in awe that his eyes were looking at them, instead they were enraged that it … Continue reading
