- 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)

Suffering and Sweet Anticipation
I read Job 29 and 30 this morning. A stark contrast. A compelling before and after picture. There’s Job’s recollection of the days when he was in his prime and the “friendship of God” (29:4) was upon his tent, versus … Continue reading

Can’t Wait to Get to the End
Just finished reading Job 3. Job’s delivered up the first volley in what will be a long back-and-forth match — him against his so-called comforters. A match which for millennia has been replayed over and over as many who have … Continue reading

I had a brief conversation with someone yesterday who “had to admit” their faith was being shaken somewhat by the suffering being experienced by various people within our church family. I empathized with her empathy for those who are dealing … Continue reading
