Blog postA quick thought from my time in the word.
We have sinned like our fathers, We have gone astray, we have behaved wickedly. Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders; They did not remember Your abundant kindnesses, But rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.
Psalm 106:6-7 NASB20 I see from this short piece of scripture how our willingness to compromise and chase after the garbage the world offers is directly linked to our remembrance of what the Lord has done.

Blog postTherefore, holy brothers and sisters, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession: Jesus; – Hebrews 3:1 NASB20
Last time we took a very brief look at what the priests were called to do. It’s easy for us to take what we know from modern-day religion and read it back into the Biblical text. It’s easy to read this verse and conjure up in our mind’s eye a picture of Jesus sitting in a confessional and listening as we confess our sins to Him. -
Blog postTherefore, holy brothers and sisters, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession: Jesus; – Hebrews 3:1 NASB20
What is the role of a Priest, in general, and the High Priest in particular?
In the Father’s plan for Israel, the priest was tasked with mediating between God and man. Sinful man could not approach Holy God without a covering, without an atoning sacrifice. So God instituted the sacrificial system to cover the people’s -
Blog postA quick ahh-ha moment from Another Red Letter Day.
“Say, therefore, to the sons of Israel, ‘I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the labors of the Egyptians, and I will rescue you from their bondage. I will also redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with great judgments. – Exodus 6:6 NASB20
I’ve long known that Israel’s extraction from Egypt stands as a type and shadow of our redeemption from the power of the enemy, but this verse in Exodus 6 struck me this mo -
Blog postThere is a temptation for un-schooled guys like me to start to feel incompetent to bring revelation from the word to those around us. These feelings of inferiority have at times shut me down. But as I meditate on this prayer from Paul the apostle, I find great comfort, hope, and confidence.
I read – confess – this, or a variation of it nearly every time I open the Bible for reading or study. Let’s read it now. I suggest, if you are in a context where you can, you read it out loud. (Af -
Blog postI’ve mentioned this before, but a friend suggested I add to my Bible reading declaration. For years now, I have (almost always) declared these truths before I read scripture, and I have found it has revolutionized my communication with the Lord.
My original prayer, for many years has been from Psalm 119:18.
Open my eyes, that I may behold Wonderful things from Your law. – Psalm 119:18 NASB
This I have done since the 80s, but not with any great consistency. Then recentl -
Blog postThe first thing we did in this new year was to share communion with our church family. What a wonderful time. We worshiped out the old year and welcomed the new as the body of Christ. As I was preparing to share the Lord’s Supper with the family, this is what the Lord brought to my attention.
Let’s start with Matthew’s account.
While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.” -
Blog postTwo short lessons from Psalm 26:8 this morning.
O LORD, I love the habitation of Your house And the place where Your glory dwells. – Psalm 26:8 NASB
Lesson one: I love to dwell in You, Lord. I love living in You. I love dwelling–abiding–in Christ.
Simple and to the point.
Lesson two: However, what (who) is Your habitaion?
So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household, having -
Blog postI’ve been listening to Phil Vischer’s podcast, the Holy Post from its inception. I think I picked up on in around episode 8 and caught up that next week. I have only missed a few of them over the years. I love the fun banter and enjoy the theological discussions.
I don’t agree with them on everything, but I respect Phil (of Veggie Tales fame) and Skye Jethani. Their Biblical world view and willingness to talk about sticky issues of faith always push me to think and pray through issues -
Blog postBehold the Lamb of God
Tonight we take another look at Jesus. We started with Jesus, and I can’t help but come back to Him on a regular basis. Healing School is at its core Jesus school. But tonight we take John the Baptist’s words to heart.
The next day he (John) saw Jesus coming to him and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! – John 1:29 NASB
And again
and he looked at Jesus as He walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!” – J
