The artist was simply but beautifully singing about wanting to be close to God. Even more surprising, it wasn’t a Christian radio station. I finished listening to the song,…

“Just a Thought” Revisited
This post is also available as a podcast: https://anchor.fm/teague-mckamey/episodes/Just-a-ThoughtRevisited-e1j6nue *** In April, I wrote a very brief post entitled, “Just a Thought.” It said: “We do not choose our own suffering. The suffering chosen for us is that which will cause us to give up everything for Godor keep everything for ourselves.” After reading it,…
The Gospel of Deuteronomy
This post is also available as a podcast: https://anchor.fm/teague-mckamey/episodes/The-Gospel-of-Deuteronomy-e1ivj7i Earlier this year, the Lord took me through Deuteronomy. Typically, I read through a book (maybe more than once) to get the flow of it. Then I do a slow reading, maybe looking up words, camping on phrases, and doing more in-depth study. All through this…
The Voice of One Podcast
So, apparently podcasts are a thing 😆 And not a thing I’ve ever paid attention to. But this is kinda how I roll. I’ve never been “cutting edge.” When I started blogging 14 or 15 years ago, it was mostly by accident. I created an account and blog on Blogger (thewordwasgod.blogspot.com) so I could read…
Published in Heart of Flesh Journal!
In 2020, the Lord prompted me to be more intentional about writing and reading poetry. One aspect of that has been submitting poems to journals. I am happy to say that, by August, I will have had three poems published! (If you’d like to learn more about my poetry, visit my poetry blog: A Wandering…
Stigma and the Gospel
Social services is my day job. In social services and health care circles, I hear a lot of talk about reducing stigma. There are a multitude of issues that bring up the topic of stigma. The common theme is that society has been judgmental toward a certain condition or behavior; people living with those conditions…
Break Time!
It’s been a long week. In fact, I feel like it was more than seven days 😆 So, I’m taking a break. If you haven’t read any of the booklets posted on The Voice of One, feel free to look through the titles and read. You might also read past posts or check out one…
Escha-whatzit & Herme-whozit? (Part 2)
In my last post, I talked about the connection between eschatology (the study of last things or end times) and hermeneutics (how scripture is interpreted). A person’s eschatology will flow from how they interpret scripture so when people talk about eschatology, they’re also (perhaps unconsciously) talking about how to interpret scripture. Given that the integrity…
Escha-whatzit & Herme-whozit? (Part 1)
Over the years, I’ve learned how connected eschatology and hermeneutics are. “Eschatology” is a fancy word for “last things.” When we talk about the end times, we are talking about eschatology. “Hermeneutics” refers to how a person or group interprets the Bible. A person’s hermeneutic is the lens through which they look at scripture. The…
I Never Knew You
A few times in the last couple weeks, I have found myself wondering, “How well do I know the Lord? How well do I know Him *really*?” I can go black and white pretty easily so my first reaction was to doubt whether I knew the Lord at all. But after more reflection I decided…
