His Dove

Posted on March 30, 2026 by Pete

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 →

Enriched in Christ

Posted on March 27, 2026 by Pete

It’s the air we breathe. It’s the water we swim in. It’s second nature, we barely give it a thought. But, if I’m picking up what Paul is laying down this morning, it’s the riches of God. I’m reading in … Continue reading →

Always Facing the Glory

Posted on February 24, 2026 by Pete

They couldn’t get close — something I read said about 3 football fields away — but they could get centered. Too dangerous to be adjacent, but too important not to be aligned. While they couldn’t go face-to-face with the glory … Continue reading →

Added to the Lord

Posted on January 19, 2026 by Pete

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 →

Search Me O’ God . . . ‘Cause I’m Finding Nothing!

Posted on December 3, 2025 by Pete

It’s complicated. Yup, that’s the story of Job. A man who God Himself repeatedly declares to be “a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil” (Job 1:8, 2:3). And yet, we know that there is … Continue reading →

His Desire

Posted on October 22, 2025 by Pete

I’ve said it before, gonna say it again: when it comes to the Scriptures, repetition is roaring, the same thing in succession is shouting, an echo is an exclamation point. Get the idea? And even more so, I think, when … Continue reading →

The Beloved of My Soul

Posted on October 2, 2025 by Pete

The heart of God. That’s what jumped off the page this morning. And in a kind of unexpected place. Book of the Bible? Jeremiah. Chapter in this prophet’s oracles? Twelve. Context for his words? God’s judgment of His people. Impact … Continue reading →

Sharers in Christ

Posted on September 2, 2025 by Pete

Reminded this morning that there is a world of difference between being a spectator and being a participant. Between simply watching something and wholly sharing in it. Between the act of receiving a gift and the activity of engaging with … Continue reading →

To Me Be the Glory

Posted on July 22, 2025 by Pete

Okay . . . I guess there’s glory, and then, there’s glory. Glory we give and, according to Paul this morning, glory we get. I know, sounds weird to even think about “to me be the glory”, but get used … Continue reading →

Hidden

Posted on July 1, 2025 by Pete

Five words. I’m chewing on just five words this morning. And one word kind of captures the taste in my mouth – overwhelming! In this day of expressive individualism, where human flourishing is equated with being seen for “who I … Continue reading →
