- 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)

Complex Simplification
Okay, I’ll admit it — there’s a certain danger in reductionism. A risk, when trying to simplify something that is complex, of over-simplifying so that too much is lost. That in trying to put something on the “bottom shelf” for … Continue reading
Offensive
This morning, I’m chewing on five words in the fifth chapter of Paul’s letter to the Galatians. And, if I’m picking up what is being laid down, as much as we might try to respectfully and winsomely persuade others (2Cor. … Continue reading

A Question I Don’t Know the Answer To
How come? How come Joseph never went back? How come, after he became second only to Pharaoh (aka no restrictions on his passport), Joseph didn’t pack up an entourage and head home to reconnect with dad and spill the beans … Continue reading

Kind of Gospel-Like
Trying to hear what the kid has to say this morning. Elihu has listened long enough to the back-and-forth of the grey-heads, now it’s his turn. Job has already had his “drop the mic” moment (Job 31:40), and now the … Continue reading
Addicting

It Is Turned!
There it is! Found it! Have been reading in Esther for the past few days. Fascinating story, but no mention of God. Mesmerizing plot development, but not a hint of Messiah. But there, in chapter 9, there it is — … Continue reading
A Gospel Easter Egg
In the MCU they are called “Easter Eggs.” In the bible it’s foreshadowing. Huh? MCU = Marvel Cinematic Universe. The increasing catalog of superhero films and shows produced by Marvel Studios based on the Marvel comics. I haven’t watched all … Continue reading
The Spirit Who Remains in our Midst (2017 Rerun)
Been sharing a crucible with some brothers and sisters. Heats been turned up. Often when that happens it’s because there’s dross to be dealt with. It can be hard work dealing with dross, the kind of work you ignore or … Continue reading
A Little Bit of Gospel
This morning, as I read in Revelation, what caught my eye was a little bit of gospel in the midst of a whole lot of judgment. “And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet … Continue reading

Worth Everything
We can’t help but place ourselves in the story. After all, isn’t that what good biblical application is all about? So, as I hover over Esther 5 this morning, where do I show up? I’m certainly not the king. Don’t … Continue reading
