Today I have the joy of teaching Ps 73 and a couple of things are going through my head this morning. Just as a refresher: Asaph was...

Jeremiah 18, God’s people played with false gods. They chose to stumble along their own favorite path rather than walk on God’s way. They...

Opening up again to Jeremiah and the potter, what catches my eye today is that God sets up a time and place with the prophet… first go...

God sends Jeremiah to the potter’s shop in Jeremiah 18. As I just came through a season of “His-plans-not-my-plans”, this passage makes...

This morning I opened up to the 73rd psalm again. It’s not that my Bible is stuck there, but, rather, that God has told me this is where...

Bouncing back to Ps 74, just a reminder of when we were last there, the “other” Asaph was feeling like God’s anger had been smoking...

This morning, as I open again to psalm #73, I am struck with the fact that Asaph didn’t just look at the awful stuff the people around...

Back to Psalm 73. Where did Asaph mess up? It’s right there in verse 3—I see that he saw, and that was when his walk became a see-saw....

Song 74 is ascribed to Asaph. Mostly we know of Asaph as the worship leader for David and Solomon. He banged a mean pair of bronze...

“And as for me”, Asaph confesses in Song #73, “I got so caught up in looking at those around me, all them lying, vile, chumps who were...

Solomon penned Psalm 72. Good ole Sol was a pretty sharp guy, although he did seem to sometimes have trouble practicing what he preached....

I received this text from a young missionary friend: “I have a little story to tell you. The past few weeks I’ve been worrying about...

A friend invited me to take a turn in his pulpit next month. I get the choice between the Sunday the expositional teaching will be in...

The curtain opens on Jeremiah 17, and I am startled: “The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron; with a point of diamond it is...

I am still drinking in Psalm 91 this morning. Today as I reread it, I notice that in verse one, the author is speaking in third person...

I’ve always had a bit of a personal relationship with Ps 91. In part because, as a very young believer, I read Jim Elliot’s diary...

Still in Nehemiah, today in the ninth chapter. It’s a repentance chapter. Notably, it is one of three “chapter nine” repentance chapters...

It seems, like always, that God bends over backwards for the Schultz’s. As we have written previously, Veronica’s biopsy showed that the...

Another quick clip from Nehemiah as I continued my reading there this morning: “The joy of the LORD is your strength.” (8:10) I consider...

Usually I muse in Jeremiah, just to have some continuity… But today my own personal reading was in the shade of Nehemiah’s wall, and his...
