- 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 Hardened Heart
It really is a pretty tough piece of leather. While I’d love to think of it in its Valentines portrayal as plump, and pink, and pumping out vibes of love, this morning’s reading in Mark warns me that, more often … Continue reading
Bugged & Blessed
It bugs me. Why? Because I know it reflects me. Reading this morning in 2Chronicles about King Jehoshaphat of Judah — by all accounts, one of the “good kings.” He walked in the ways of David, seeking God and ordering … Continue reading

Stuff
This new CSB continues to upset the apple cart (mildly) this morning. This time by taking a word that I barely thought was a word and all of a sudden making it a biblical word. The word in question? Stuff! … Continue reading
Another Day on the Battlefield
It’s a battle. Dare I even say, a daily battle. Sometimes a low-level skirmish in the background, sometimes an all-out assault front and center. I know this not just theoretically, but in reality. ‘Cause I am the battlefield. But I … Continue reading

Frustrated, Comforted, Exhilarated

Don’t Get It . . . But Get It
In one sense, I just I don’t get it. But in another sense, I do — and that scares me. This morning, I read of the rebellion of Korah in Numbers 16 and I couldn’t help but whisper to myself, … Continue reading
Free To Be a Debtor
Lots of terms come to mind to describe the believer like . . . well, like believer. Or saint. Or brother or sister. Child of God. Disciple. Redeemed. New creation. You get the idea. And I’m sure we could add … Continue reading
Dealing with the Indulgence of the Flesh
The Judaizers said it could only happen if they got back to the law, watched what they ate and drank, observed the festival days, and started observing the real Sabbath again. The Gnostics said it would take something far more … Continue reading

More Grace
His letter is written to “the twelve tribes in the Dispersion.” So James’ epistle was penned for believers but with a particular Hebrew flavor. Maybe not surprising given that it’s thought this could be the first NT book written, and … Continue reading
