- 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)

Count On It
Ben Franklin said that “in this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes.” Others have tried to add a third or fourth thing to the list, but the one thing we all know is undeniable is that death is … Continue reading

Good News! Good Timing?
They were born again amid persecution, and they lived amid persecution. They received, by faith, the good news from men who were constantly harassed and afflicted, and they followed Jesus, by faith, being harassed and afflicted themselves. Being saved, for … Continue reading

A Catalyst for Patience
Longanimity. I’ve never come across the word before, until this morning. Used in one of my online lexicons to give the sense of a word found in one of my readings this morning. A 15th century English word which once … Continue reading

Eagerly Waiting
Pull together a group of believers, ask them to brainstorm what marks a Christian, and, I’m guessing, the answers will come flying pretty easily. Born again, forgiven, adopted, disciples, filled with the Spirit. Bought, blessed, and being made like Jesus. … Continue reading
