- 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)

Go or Overlook?
Holy tension, Batman! That’s what I encountered this morning, some holy tension. Forgiveness has been a preoccupying topic for me for the past several months. Have spent more than a little time on “Why Should I?” and “How Can I?” … Continue reading
Radical Stuff
Hovering over the first part of 1 Corinthians 6 this morning. Some pretty radical stuff here. Not sure what to do with it except to just observe it. As for applying it? Did I mention it was kind of radical? … Continue reading
Walk with the Wise
You are what you eat. What you put in is going to have an impact on what you have available to put out. Good worldly wisdom. And, not without biblical precedent. After all, the law of the harvest says you’re … Continue reading

Where Am I Going to Eat Today?
Noodling on two house parties being put on in Proverbs 9. Meditating on two hostesses, Wisdom and Folly, who have set their tables and sent out their invitations. Wisdom’s table is filled with organic, free-range food. Triple-A, Prime beef from … Continue reading
The Wisdom of God in Our Hands
If there’s anything the Spirit wants us to know about Ezra, it’s that he was a man of the Word, as in “God’s word”. Sure, when he’s introduced in Ezra 7 the first thing mentioned is that he was the … Continue reading

For She Is Your Life
Hyperbole or reality? Somewhat dramatic or appropriately emphatic? Thoughts running through my mind as I chew on something in Proverbs this morning. The opening chapters of Proverbs are an extended pitch by a dad to his son to pursue wisdom. … Continue reading
Active Listening
To me, the entire chapter reads like a promise. A conditional, if/then promise, but a promise nevertheless. And what a promise! Who wouldn’t want to: understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God (v.5)? understand righteousness … Continue reading
Not To Give Offense
The key that unlocks understanding the passage is identifying what the “two-drachma tax” was. It wasn’t a Roman tax collector who came knocking. Nor was it a Jewish tax collector working for Rome. Instead it was a temple tax collector … Continue reading
The Way of Real Wisdom
Anybody else praying for wisdom these days? More aware now than ever that to navigate our cultural moment we need help from above? A couple of chapters ago James exhorts his readers, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him … Continue reading

A View of Life Beyond the Sun
If it all comes out the same in the wash “under the sun,” then truly, “behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind” under the sun (Eccl. 1:14). Hovering over the first-half of Ecclesiastes 2 this morning. Amazed at … Continue reading
