The word of God is living and active . . . (Hebrews 4:12)

I Need an Interpreter
I read in Proverbs how a culture would rejoice when the righteous increase but groan when the wicked rule (Prov. 29:2) and think to myself, really? Then I read in Isaiah 58 the LORD God’s take on the difference between … Continue reading
We Must Give An Account
Read that title again. We must give an account. Who’s the we? You and me. What must we do eventually? Give an account. Literally, give a speech. Provide an answer. Give an explanation. Render a reckoning. Okay . . . … 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

A Tangible Lifeline
This morning, I’m hovering over the nineteenth of twenty-two stanzas of the Scripture’s greatest love song, Psalm 119. The songwriter needed the LORD to save him (v. 146a). Don’t know who he needed to be saved from, but “they” were … Continue reading
The One Unfailing Constant
Two despondent soul conditions. Seven urgent asks. One unfailing constant. That’s what I’m hovering over this morning as I chew on Psalm 119:25-32. Love the way Peterson gets to the heart of the songwriter’s desperate soul condition. I’m feeling terrible—I … Continue reading

Pay Attention to What You Hear
As I hover over some verses in Mark, two common sayings come to mind. One from my days in the business world, the other from the world at large. Back in the days when I drove to an office building … Continue reading
Readied for the Next Season
Wherever we are, we’re not there yet. How ever far we’ve come, we’ve still got some road to travel. Coming out of the wilderness, there’s still a promised land to prepare for. That’s some of what I’m picking from what … Continue reading
