- 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)

Lost in Christ
While our current culture of “expressive individualism” may have accelerated it, it’s actually been going on for a while within the church. Sometime in our past, in order to battle dead, lifeless religion, we started talking instead about a “personal … Continue reading
Not At All Inferior . . . Because I Am Nothing
Paul covers a lot of ground with the church at Corinth through the letter we count as his second. But underlying it all is his contending for their affection, for “room” in their hearts (2Cor. 7:2a). And so, as Paul … Continue reading
How I Identify
How one “identifies” has become one of the prevailing dynamics of our current cultural moment. Whatever else may define our reality, identity has been promoted to the top of the list. But that, in and of itself, isn’t a bad … Continue reading

One is the Only-est Number
Normally, I’d just kind of skim these verses. And, actually, I did . . . the first time through. But then something (Someone?) made me go back and hover a little . . . and do a little math. In … Continue reading

Last Friday’s meal on Hebrews 11, which focused on some of the works which accompany faith, seems somewhat bland in comparison to what I’m chewing on this morning as I conclude Hebrews 11. It’s one thing to be encouraged towards … Continue reading

The Hope of Glory
It is the hope of glory. It is the assurance of unfathomable splendor. It is the certainty that one day the expectation of experiencing “what no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined” (1Cor. 2:9) … Continue reading
Able-Bodied
Not exactly sure why, but oh, the difference two words can make. Hovering over a few verses in Philippians 4 this morning, verses I have known since near the beginning of my walk with Jesus over 45 years ago. In … Continue reading

We Will Worship the Lord
This year I’ve switched to the CSB translation of the bible for my reading plan instead of the ESV I’ve used for the past several years. And this morning, what a difference it makes. “Therefore, fear the Lord and worship Him in … Continue reading
Abide In Him
Hmm . . . I guess John was listening. Ask me about “abiding” and John 15 comes to mind first as the go to passage. There, Jesus talks of a vine (aka Him) and branches (aka His followers) and the … Continue reading
