Since we have some new readers, please let me take a moment at this point to repeat a post from the beginning of this blog in which I stated my aim and plan for most of my posts: “My desire herein is to present excerpts from the Word of God written in such a way that they can be “preached” to myself or yourself. Preached out loud, repetitiously and intentionally. Repetitiously to let the Word be active and alive in my mind, and intentionally to take thoughts captive to make them obedient to Christ.

I desire to have the Word of God rolling around in my mind in plenteous quantity to be mused and meditated on throughout the day: spoken aloud, answering questions that come to mind, starting or stopping behaviors, and seasoning verbal responses.

So from time to time I will post excerpts from the Word of God, ready to be ingrafted into my thinking and speaking; ready to guide my thoughts and corral my feeling.”
