Psalm 14 starts out… Fools say to themselves, “There is no God.” I don’t know if I can make the same statement. There are a lot of understandable reasons that people can say that there is no God or god or gods or divine being(s) […]

Psalm 8 – Magnificient
I read this Psalm early this morning and what I decided to do through the day was to look for a bunch of things that spoke to the magnificence of God coming out of the last verse of this Psalm – O Lord, our Lord,how […]
Psalm 2 – Shelter
There’s obviously a lot in this Psalm – The majority of it is speaking of the futility of the kings of the earth seeking to go against the Lord and the Lord’s plans. But as I read it this morning and have been thinking about […]
Savoring the Word 17 – Luke 24:13ff – Emmaus
Yesterday I heard from two friends of mine who are wrestling with where they are in life. Paths that once seemed so very clear did not feel so much at least yesterday. If they (and I and we) are honest with ourselves, that’s probably more […]
Savoring the Word 09 – Luke 10:25-42 – Distractions
Last week was one of those weeks – pulled in lots of different directions and many distractions that were all around. It was a perfect week to be preaching about distractions – the distracted disciples in the Good Samaritan parable and then the distractions that […]
Imago Scriptura 115 – 1 Peter 2:9 – Wonderful Light
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. I woke up this Thanksgiving morning and read this passage and my mind immediately went to […]
Imago Scriptura 89 – Psalm 104 – Beautiful Details
So, I was all set for working on something to continue in 1 Corinthians, but Psalm 104 just grabbed me this morning. I was working out while reading it and I read it about five times in a row as I just marveled at the […]
Imago Scriptura 76 – Psalm 8 – Chris
This morning my friend Chris and I went on a short walk to watch the sun rise (5:15am) over the lake near our campground. He and I have been friends for a very long time and its been wonderful how our respective wives and kids have […]
Imago Scriptura 74 – Psalm 1-3 – Sanctuary
This was my sanctuary for worship this morning. It is Sunday morning and we are heading from North Dakota back down to South Dakota for several days of camping. My morning started at 4:30am heading to an overlook at the entrance to Teddy Roosevelt National […]
Imago Scriptura 55 – Beautiful
There’s the old cliche that says “beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.” In other words, what is beautiful to one person might not be beautiful to another. We’ve all experienced the truth of that statement. Yesterday’s reading from 2 Chronicles details the building […]
Imago Scriptura 01
Ok – so I figured I’ve done the Gospels, the Psalms, and a few other books..why not do the whole Bible? Will be interesting when I hit Leviticus or places like that. Anyway, I am starting a process of reading through the Scriptures in a […]
Gratitude 27 – Inexhaustible
Today – I am thankful for inexhaustible beauty. Today I’ve seen examples of this in parents playing with their young children, beautiful reflections in a building’s window, and in the sunset that I saw tonight. I am grateful that there is an inexhaustible amount of […]
