Dogs and Pigs Our verse for consideration is this: “Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.”(Matthew 7:6 NAS95). These are words of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount, and they […]
continue reading...The Problem of Prayer There are a good many things about which our talking outpaces our doing. I would put prayer in this category. We talk about prayer more than we pray. Why? Why is prayer such a problem? There may be a host of reasons, but one would be our desire to solve our […]
continue reading...The Eclipse of God’s Glory From Texas to Maine, people will be flocking to “the path to totality” in order to see a full solas eclipse. It is a notable event, and aside from widespread FOMO (fear of missing out), scientists and astronomers, professionals and amateurs, are interested. The sun is the dominant feature of […]
continue reading...The Book is Better than the Movie A well-intentioned lady asked me about the difficulty of coming up with new material after preaching in the same place and to the same people for so long (completing 38 years this week with this Resurrection Sunday being our 39th). I told her that the Bible was a […]
continue reading...I Just Want to be Left Alone You might hear the sentiment, “I just want to be left alone,” from many different people, young or old. We live in a marketing age, and there are more groups using more methods to seize upon our attention. Most of us receive unwelcome scam calls and uninvited text […]
continue reading...The God I Never Knew Several years ago, I was on the lookout for cedar shakes which are now on the gable ends of our house and above the front porch. I found a supplier at, of all places, the Trufant flea market. There was a man there named Johnny Fish who had driven an […]
continue reading...Both Zealous and Jealous “Zeal” is generally regarded as a positive; “jealous,” not so much. But in the Bible, “zealous” and “jealous” are actually quite close to one another. We will look at their positive use. First, we should notice that God describes Himself in the Bible as jealous: Ex. 34:14 — “for you shall […]
continue reading...Mindfulness and Prayerfulness Distinguished Of the many life strategies advocated in print and digitally, one that caught my attention was the recommendation of “mindfulness.” I would like rather to recommend “prayerfulness.” First of all, they are not the same thing. Mindfulness can be practiced by anyone who sets their, well, “mind” to it. What exactly […]
continue reading...Heaven is a World of Love The title of this post is from Jonathan Edwards and the title of one of his essays. It describes a world in which love is pure and unsullied. Heaven is a world of love. We don’t have that now. I would like to address just one aspect of the […]
continue reading...All Paczki; No Ash It was interesting to me that Valentine’s Day and Ash Wednesday both shared the same day this past week. It seems that valentines won out over ashes. But more importantly is the distinction between “Fat Tuesday” and Ash Wednesday. I don’t think that there is any doubt that there were many, […]

We were designed to become like what we worship. What fills our thoughts throughout the day? What do we love or long for? This book is for those who want to become like Christ–for those who want to meditate on his beauty but who need help to do so. In this devotional work, Kris Lundgaard […]
