An Ode to the Church

Posted on April 8, 2022 by Pete

It’s a fact thing based on a faith thing through an overflowing grace thing. That’s what I’m picking up this morning from what’s being laid down in Psalm 84. It’s a psalm about the courts of the LORD. A hymn … Continue reading →

Posted on January 27, 2022 by Pete

As I sometimes do, I did a search through my online journal to see what thoughts I was thinking in the past about a passage I read today. Hovering over Psalm 26 this morning, about walking in integrity particularly, but … Continue reading →

Sinai is in the Sanctuary

Posted on March 17, 2021 by Pete

Hovering over Psalm 68 this morning. A psalm of David. A song of victory. A song of a God who will arise to deliver His people. The “Father of the fatherless” and the “Protector of widows” (v.5), the God David … Continue reading →

The LORD Is There

Posted on November 15, 2019 by Pete

Maybe 2020 will be the year. The year I dig deeper into Ezekiel. Wrapped up the book in this morning’s reading. A lot of it I think I get. A lot of it, not so much. The apocalyptic unveiling of … Continue reading →

Posted on October 2, 2019 by Pete

A Big Deal!

Posted on May 23, 2019 by Pete

A Sanctuary

Posted on October 25, 2018 by Pete

“Elvis has left the building.” That’s the phrase once used at the end of an Elvis Presley concert to indicate that the concert was done–like, really done . . . as in, “It’s over, folks. No more music, tonight.”  The … Continue reading →

Temple Revival

Posted on July 20, 2017 by Pete

Two thoughts as I hover over the account of revival in Judah under King Hezekiah . . . First, revival happens where God’s house is attended to. After 16 years of disastrous leadership under King Ahaz, things turn around under … Continue reading →

Arise and Build

Posted on July 8, 2016 by Pete

“Arise and work! The LORD be with you!” The words jumped off the page this morning as I was reading 1Chronicles 22. Here’s some thoughts on the passage I put down back in 2011 . . . . It came … Continue reading →

Not Just “From” But “For”

Posted on May 20, 2016 by Pete

It’s a short song. Less than a hundred words parsed into eight verses packaged into four stanzas. It’s a short song about a great God to be sung by a redeemed people. The God of Jacob is the focus of … Continue reading →
