- 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)

Cutters of Wood, Drawers of Water
Hovering over Joshua 9 this morning. Familiar territory (no pun intended . . . well maybe a little). But this morning I find myself chewing on something I’ve not chewed on before. Context? The inhabitants of Gibeon, a large and … Continue reading
Released in Order to Serve
Released from the law (Romans 6:6a). Catches my attention. Commence chewing. Freed from what once held us captive. Delivered from that which once held dominion. Its force forfeited. Its power put away. Its condemnation conquered. We have been released from … Continue reading
Called to Belong
This morning I’m hovering over a phrase from Paul’s introduction to his letter to the Romans. In just a few short verses (Rom. 1:1-6) Paul unpacks the essentials of a great, great gospel. It’s the gospel of God. It was … Continue reading
The Cry of Deliverance in Its Fullness
Flying down to the Golden State tomorrow morning to see kids and grandkids, so decided on doing a double reading in my reading plan this morning. It bore the unexpected fruit of picking up on one of those repetitive drumbeats … Continue reading

Unworthy Servants
Good for nothing. Pretty harsh words when used of someone else. Considered by our culture to be especially inappropriate, self-harming words when used of ourselves. Good for nothing. That’s the literal translation of the Greek word achreios — a word … Continue reading
The Lord’s Servant and The Public Square
I’m not saying anything new if I point out that the public square of our day is increasingly marked by raging rhetoric and canceling culture. Make your point, make it loud, make it rude, and then shut the door. Goodwill … Continue reading

What I Don’t Know Can Hurt Me
There’s an old proverb that says something like, “What you don’t know can’t hurt you.” What it’s getting at is that, if you are unaware of a problem, you can’t get bent out of shape worrying about it. Something along … Continue reading

What’s Their Names?
Wrapped up Exodus this morning. And while I think I probably should be meditating on the wonder of the glory descending on the completed tabernacle, I find myself wondering about why I can’t seem to ever remember the names of … Continue reading

Snoozin’
“I’ll take parable connections for 300, Alex.” “Okay. The common condition of those who, because they are rich, are consumed incessantly with building bigger barns, and those who, because they are not so rich, are preoccupied continually with putting food … Continue reading

Freed for Slavery
When you know who you are, it goes a long way to being who you should be. What identifies you will drive you. If you view yourself as impoverished, you’ll live like a poor person–either languishing because of a perceived … Continue reading
