- 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)

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
The latter part of the first chapter of James has to do with the word of God. Three observations tell me so. The first observation reminds me that, in God’s sovereign determination, I was born again by the word of … Continue reading

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

For He Will Broaden Your Understanding
Weary from grief (Psalm 119:28). That’s the songwriter’s bottom line — if he were talking in CSB language. If ESV language, “My soul melts away for sorrow.” And if he allowed Peterson to put words in his mouth, “My sad … Continue reading

I Can’t Even Walk . . .
Oh, that it were a “just do it” sort of thing. That obedience was solely a matter of the will. That walking in the way was what you did by default once you set your heart on the way. But … Continue reading
