- 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)

A Rollercoaster Ride
A verse in Proverbs took me on a bit of a rollercoaster ride this morning. What began as a promise to claim soon revealed a pride to confess but then resulted in a praise to cry out. All from one … Continue reading

Obligation
Maybe it’s because I know how short-lived it’s going to be. Maybe it’s because I’ve read these chapters before and I know that eventually Nehemiah is going to resort to literally trying to beat people into obedience (Neh. 13:25). Maybe … Continue reading
A Prudent Son
Started in on the proverbs of Proverbs, this morning — those snappy sayings that start up in chapter 10. And for me, these one-liners have sometimes been difficult to digest. And that, I think, for a couple of reasons. First, … Continue reading

Maintaining My Saltiness
Jesus really wasn’t about “attractional ministry.” He didn’t seem overly concerned with “removing barriers” and making the curious comfortable. In fact, when the crowds “accompanied Him” (Lk. 14:25), Jesus talked about the cost of following Him. Any one of you … Continue reading

Have This Mind
Got back this weekend from a week away with the whole family. What a blessing. But what a hit my morning routine takes. Good to be back at my desk . . . Give me the choice, and I’ll take … Continue reading

More and More
It’s repetition that catches my eye and captivates my thoughts this morning. Finally, then, brothers, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, just … Continue reading
Holding Fast to the Head
While we know that it’s what we believe that counts, how wired are we to frequently follow-up by asking the question, “Yeah, but what shall I do?” Pretty wired, I’m thinking. The Colossians too, it would seem. These believers in … Continue reading

At Hand or At Hand? Yes and Amen!
Reading the first few verses in Philippians 4. Pretty familiar stuff so I’m pretty quick with the colored pencils to mark it up. Pretty quick with the dark-green colored pencil to highlight a reminder that Jesus is coming soon. But … Continue reading
Which is Yours
Traveling again this week. This time in the mountains of Colorado. Again hanging with some pretty impressive pastors. These a little less rural, a bit more suburban, but with the same passion to go and make disciples. So, finding limited … Continue reading
Blessed!
I start in on Psalm 119 this morning with expectation. These next 22 readings in the Psalms are among my favorite portions of my reading plan. An Ode to the Word. A Love Letter for God’s Law. One grand theme … Continue reading
