- 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)

Not Just a King Thing
God knew the day would come, the day when His people would ask for a king (1Samuel 8:5-7,19-20). It would be inevitable that they would eventually want to layer in a man-on-the-throne monarchy over their God-in-the-midst theocracy. And so, knowing … Continue reading
Obedient from the Heart
It’s almost 46 years later and I still remember a conversation in an old pickup truck as I was being driven to a beach party where we were gathering with other “college and career” folks from our small church. I … Continue reading
They Feast With You
Arrogant people, so full of themselves they have no fear of slandering anyone else or anything else. Creatures driven by base instinct, following the polluted desires of their flesh, and with no regard for authority. Jazzed by doing what shouldn’t … Continue reading
Wanting More
“Please sir, I want some more!” Now that’s a dickens of an incentive for obedience. Better than following the rules just because they’re the rules is playing the game for the sheer enjoyment of playing it. Better than doing what … Continue reading

One Shepherd with a Capital “S”
Of all that’s been written in Ecclesiastes, Solomon may have been the Teacher (Eccl. 12:10 CSB, NIV, NLT) or, if you like, the Preacher (ESV, NASB, and NKJV), but he wasn’t the originator. In addition to the Teacher being a … Continue reading

A Sword Swallowing Act

Not a Condition, A Crime
This morning, one of those “encounters” with the CSB that I knew would happen when I started using the translation for my morning readings this year but didn’t know from where. Reading a familiar passage in Hebrews and then, BAM!, … Continue reading
The LORD’s Lamp
This morning, a proverb brings to mind a couple of psalms. I think the proverb may have jumped off the page this morning because I don’t recall encountering it before when reading Proverbs. Turns out, I haven’t . . . … Continue reading
Captivated
Back in the saddle after a quick round trip to New York State last week. Had the joy of hanging with some missionaries, had the privilege of rubbing shoulders with some shepherds. I’m on the board of Village Missions and … Continue reading

Walking Freely In An Open Place
According to my journal, I chewed on and then wrote about this verse in 2013. I did it again in 2018. Another five years have passed, and again the verse catches my eye and my thoughts this morning. Seems to … Continue reading
