Psalm: 59 Meditation 1 Peter: Peter is addressing two groups: the elders & the young men. Peter reminds the elders of the grave responsibility of their office – “and from one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.” (Luke 12:48b) On the other hand, the young men are exhorted to be …

Psalms: 82, 85  Meditation Luke: I am no fisherman, but I’ve heard many say that night is the best time to fish. Poor Simon (Peter) had worked all night for naught. Jesus comes along and suggests that Simon go out now, in the daytime. Peter may have thought, Jesus, a carpenter, what would he know? …

Psalm: 60 Meditation Mark: Peter’s rebuke to Jesus, it turns out, is in direct opposition to the Father’s will. Selfishly Peter may have meant well, but that would thwart the divine plan. As for Jesus’ followers, “taking up his cross” (v. 35) simply means that discipleship is not cheap – it may eventually call one …

Psalms: 52, 110 Meditation 2 Peter: Happy Advent to these people! Many unbelievers bear the attributes which Peter ascribes to them. I wonder why this passage is chosen for this time of year unless to bring encouragement to those of us who happily wade through this “second Advent”. Reference is made to Noah who antedates …

Psalm: 68 Meditation 2 Peter: I confess, I have never met St. Peter, well, not yet anyway. What I can say is that the Peter of the gospels is vastly different from the writer of this epistle. What changed? What happened? The most major event in Peter’s life must have been Pentecost – the descent …

Psalms: 14, 15 Meditation 2 Peter: If I were to apply a word to describe what Peter is saying here, it would be “watch” or “be vigilant”. He speaks of judgment, certainly the great flood, but also of a time when God’s patience runs low as the sands in an hourglass. Further, Peter warns us …

Psalm: 88 Meditation Acts: Boldness begets boldness. This section begins with the boldness of Peter and John. Well, we can’t have that! So now Peter and John were summoned to the Council (of elders) to explain the healing of the paralytic. The Council members did not like Peter’s response thus they told him to keep …

Psalm: 26 Meditation Acts: John and Peter would go to the Temple at the time of prayer (about 3 in the afternoon). As they walked on, a paralytic lay near the “Beautiful Gate” asking alms of the passersby. Peter caught the man’s eye and told him that he and John had no gold and then …

The Transfiguration Psalms: 47, 110 Meditation Luke: The Transfiguration. There are only 3 witnesses to the Transfiguration, Peter, James, and John. These men were privileged enough to see just how Jesus looked when no one could recognize Him on Easter day. Here we see why: “His face changed…” (v. 29) This is what I think …

Psalm: 58 Meditation Galatians: I am persuaded that Paul may not have been an ingratiating person. All through his walks in Asia Minor and later through Macedonia, the overarching theme is that Paul was an “in your face” kind of fellow, a rabble rouser, as it were. This section of Galatians opens with Paul telling …
