Give us this day, our daily bread. I am the Bread of Life. Jesus attends to the basic reality every human faces. We have got to eat. Some of us live in an age where we take that too far. We don’t know when to eat, we don’t know what to eat, and we end […]
Read More JJ 24 #44: We Have Got To EatGod loves food. You know times are tough when the situation suggests there is a lack of food. In the book of Kings, there is an occasion shared where Elisha, the prophet, arrives at Gilgal right when there’s a famine happening. It’s a hallmark of famine that lack is the portion of the people. Here […]
Read More From Lack to LeftoversSometimes I wonder if God is dropping a hint about the importance of giving someone something to eat. When God made man in His own image, He put him in a garden to work it and keep it. And in that garden there was fruit for him to eat. When Abraham saw three strangers come […]
Read More Meal Power: Give Them Something To EatI don’t believe the home I grew up in had a toaster.

Read More Who’s Coming For Dinner? IntroWhy do some people think that cheese belongs to a salad? Really bizarre. Nevertheless, for those of us who don’t need the cheese thanks, we are still left with the option of the salad with a meal. The number of times I’ve enjoyed meals with friends and they’ve passed on the salad is quite considerable. […]
Read More Would You Like The Salad?Food. Not just food, but a meal. And not just a meal, but the full three courses. Ahhh there’s something about it. There’s something about it that says so much more than just eating because you’re hungry. I don’t tend to talk while I’m eating. There’s something about the focus on the consuming of the […]
Read More Like A Good MealThere are few physical experiences more satisfying than that of the sensations received on the completion of a great meal.
