Behold, They Had Done It

Posted on February 12, 2026 by Pete

My grandson gets a kick out of completing a Lego kit. At his age, they’re small and simple projects (not yet ready for a 1,500-piece Mustang or a 3,600-piece Star Trek Enterprise), yet they still require him to sort the … Continue reading →

A God of Recompense

Posted on October 17, 2025 by Pete

This is the second morning reading Jeremiah’s prophecy of Babylon’s demise. I read Jeremiah 51, the second of two chapters — two LONG chapters — detailing God’s determined vengeance against a nation which had perpetually and “proudly defied the LORD” … Continue reading →

Jehovah-Tsidkenu

Posted on October 4, 2024 by Pete

Five words. Five words that brings things to a halt. Five words that demand a pause. Words that generate again wonder. Words that evoke again praise. Words that remind again that my righteous standing before a holy, holy, holy God … Continue reading →

No Glory, No Beauty

Posted on February 6, 2024 by Pete

“Clothes make the man.” The saying’s been around awhile. Given the state of our fashion industry — whether that’s a formal tux or a “pre-shredded” jeans — I’m thinking this age-old proverb still holds some sway. This past weekend went … Continue reading →

A Lesser-Known Name

Posted on January 17, 2024 by Pete

“I’ll take lesser-known names for God for 500, Alex.” (I’m hoping we still remember who Alex is). “The answer is, Psalm 17:7.” “Where is God referred to as ‘Savior of those who seek refuge?’” Correct. Wondrously show Your steadfast love, … Continue reading →
