- 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)

So That Our Joy May Be Complete
John writes not just to defend a body of knowledge but to contend for a body of believers. While he wants to protect the faith, he’s equally motivated by wanting to preserve the fellowship. How come? So that our joy … Continue reading
They Named Him
For many, there’s a lot that goes into picking a newborn’s name. Lists to read, lineages to remember, legacies on which to ruminate. While not every mother-to-be, nor every father-to-be, may put the same level of effort into coming up … Continue reading

His Dove
Hovering over Psalm 74 this morning. It’s one of those “why?” songs to God. Why have You left us? Why does Your “anger smoke against” us? (v. 1) It’s also one of those “How long?” songs (v.10). Given that the … Continue reading
Added to the Lord
It’s the second time I’ve encountered the phrase as I’ve been reading through Acts, but this morning it popped. There were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who on coming to Antioch spoke to the Hellenists also, preaching … Continue reading
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
