Posted on June 27, 2018 by Pete

Pssst! Wanna know a secret? A secret of the kingdom of God? The seed is the word of God. Maybe, if you’ve had “ears to hear” for awhile now, that’s not too earth shattering. Perhaps, it’s kind of an old … Continue reading →

From Knowledge to Knowledge

Posted on June 22, 2018 by Pete

Started in on Colossians this morning. First thing that comes to mind, “How did he do it?” How did Paul pray for all these churches? With all that he had on the go, often working by night and preaching by … Continue reading →

The Anchor That Holds

Posted on June 5, 2018 by Pete

Lard Heart Redemption

Posted on June 1, 2018 by Pete

We’ve all experienced it: you hear a song and it’s like it was written for you. The lyrics are your lyrics. The sentiment, your sentiment. The message, you couldn’t have said it better yourself. And many of us experience it … Continue reading →

What God Has Actually Said

Posted on December 28, 2017 by Pete

My Mirror

Posted on September 27, 2017 by Pete

I stand in front of it every morning. It’s an important tool to make sure the part in my hair is straight (mostly), that I don’t shred my face shaving (usually), and that the hair growing out of my ears … Continue reading →

Priming the Pump

Posted on July 5, 2017 by Pete
