- 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 New Testament Command from an Old Testament Source
I think if I’m honest with myself, I don’t expect a lot from reading Chronicles. Not just because of the seemingly endless, and sometimes to me pointless — though ALL Scripture is God-breathed and profitable (2Tim. 3:16) — genealogies that … Continue reading
Spend and Be Spent
To be sure, Paul knew what it was to witness not only in Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria, but also to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8). He knew what it was to leave the comfort of home for … Continue reading

His Dove
The church of God is a mighty church. Ever heard that sentiment expressed in some manner? What about processing the promise that “we are more than conquerors” (Rom. 8:37)? Makes it sound like the bride of Christ is not to … Continue reading

My People
Corinth. I read the word, I think of the church. The divided church. The quarreling church. The adultery in the pew church. The suing one another church. The church of a dozen questions — about marriage, about food sacrificed to … Continue reading

A Morning Smorgasbord
One of those “sampler” mornings when all four readings provide a little something to chew on and create a wonderful smorgasbord of combined flavor. In Luke, Jesus tells the parable of the sower and the seed. “Listen up,” says Jesus, … Continue reading

Our Identity
Identity. It gets a lot of play these days. Who am I? What am I? Am I what I think I am? Or am I something other than I think I am? Such confusion. This morning, I’m grateful for some … Continue reading
He Loves the Place!
It’s not that it’s unfamiliar to me, but this morning it struck me as unusual. After all, the LORD loves people not places, doesn’t He? His affection is sourced in grace not geography, isn’t it? So how come the LORD … Continue reading

Radical Stuff
Hovering over the first part of 1 Corinthians 6 this morning. Some pretty radical stuff here. Not sure what to do with it except to just observe it. As for applying it? Did I mention it was kind of radical? … Continue reading
Cripple-Con
Not much to look at, really. Nothing much to behold — unless it was because of some morbid fascination — just the lame, the blind, the crippled, along with those unable to speak. Cripple-Con, a gathering of the needy, the … Continue reading

Fear and Freedom
Growth strategies. That’s been part of the modern church’s lexicon for as long as I’ve been a believer. So we ask ourselves, what do we need to do as a body of believers to become a bigger body of believers? … Continue reading
