No Glory, No Beauty

“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 →

Gone last week. Was hanging out with some missionaries and shepherds who serve under the banner of Village Missions. They were gathered for a few days of rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation at a mountain-top conference center (aka sketchy wi-fi and … Continue reading →

Bringing Us to Glory

Posted on August 24, 2022 by Pete

It’s a verse about Him, but I can’t help take notice of what it says about me. A jaw-dropping truth about the Savior, and a head-lifting reality for those being saved. Jesus is greater. That’s the big idea of the … Continue reading →

Posted on July 8, 2022 by Pete

This morning I’m chewing on what I didn’t chew on. A bit in wonder at what I failed to pause in awe over. Thankful that I went back randomly to see what I was thinking on this day in my … Continue reading →

On Me Alone

Posted on May 4, 2022 by Pete

Under His Wings

Posted on April 20, 2022 by Pete

Reading Ruth is kind of like engaging in a “Where’s Waldo” book. No, I’m not on the lookout for some skinny dude in a striped red shirt with a beanie on. Instead, I’m actively trying to spot Jesus. In particular, … Continue reading →

He Wholly Followed the LORD

Posted on April 1, 2022 by Pete

Okay, not gonna lie, the CSB took a bit of a hit for me this morning. While I’m pretty quick to pull the trigger on some things, other things, like switching which translation of the bible I use, takes a … Continue reading →
