UNDERSTANDING THE BIBLE

An Important Key To Remember

I’ve been a fan of the Bible for a very long time. I enjoy reading the Scriptures as well as taking the time to study God’s Word. If understanding the Bible is important to you, you’ll be happy to know I will soon be releasing a book that will help those who enjoy reading Bible understand it more.

An important key in understanding the Bible is recognizing the culture in which it was written. This book gives insight to the culture behind over 48 verses, which will help to make those verses more easily understood.

The title of the book will be, What Does It Mean? Bible Culture Revealed. It  provides wonderful insight regarding the culture of biblical times with respect to manners, customs, idioms, and other figures of speech.

For example, what was the intended meaning when the psalmist wrote, “I am become like a bottle in the smoke”? One might readily recognize the figure of speech employed in that verse, but what exactly was, “a bottle in the smoke”?

The same is true in reverse. Perhaps there are parts of the world that would not understand if they read something in a book that said, “He threw some hot dogs on the grill.” Here in the United States one would easily understand, but those in another part of the world may be a bit puzzled and wonder what kind of dogs, why were they thrown, and, what’s a “grill”? They lack understanding of our culture and idioms.

Final editing is underway. Cover design is in the works. Plans for both paperback and Kindle version are in motion. I will of course have a special post on this blog when it is released.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU DIE?

What If It’s Really True?


Some believe it. Some don’t. But is it really true?

Is there life after you die? Believing something doesn’t make it true and not believing something doesn’t make it false; it’s either true or it’s not.

In the first part of the Bible, you read about people living a very long time, but they all eventually died. Statistics from 201  show the average life expectancy in the United States is 76 years for males and 81 years for females. But regardless of the average, everyone

HAVE YOU TRIED AND FAILED?

The Voice of Truth - An Inspiring Song

On many occasions I have tried and failed. I’m sure you have too. What is it that helps you get up and try again?

I believe the promises in the Bible are true. When I listen to the “voice of truth” I am encouraged to look up, get up, and move forward again, and again, and again! Mark Batterson in his book, The Circle Maker  said, “Logic screams, ‘No!’ Faith whispers, ‘Yes’”

Here’s an inspiring video from Casting Crowns album, Casting Crowns, titled, Voice of Truth.

Coming Soon…A New Book!

I have a new paperback  book (and Kindle too) coming out soon!  It is currently undergoing final edits, and I am working on the cover. Stay tuned for updates, and previews!

THERE IS NO GOD?

Does The Bible Really Say, “There Is No God?”


Many years ago, I was somewhat startled when someone purported that the Bible says there is no God. How could that be, I thought. Sounds preposterous, doesn’t it? And yet, I soon discovered the Bible indeed does say, “There is no God.”

I need to explain this.

When I first heard the Bible says there is no God, it was actually in a Bible class. The teacher was making the point you can prove almost anything from the Bible. The example he used was

STAYING FAITHFUL REGARDLESS OF THE CULTURE

Audio From A Christian Family Conference

Last month I was invited to speak at a Christian Family Conference in Post Falls, Idaho. It was a great weekend – a number of teachers handling a variety of topics. One of the teachings I presented was, Staying Faithful Regardless of the Culture.

I am posting that teaching here. It is about 31 minutes. If you find it profitable, please feel free to share it.

INDEPENDENCE DAY 2018

Celebrating 242 Years of Freedom

I believe my country, the United States of America, needs prayer, wisdom, and love; all three in great abundance.

This Wednesday, July 4th, is Independence Day here in the USA. Actually, the Continental Congress voted to approve a resolution of independence from Great Britain two days earlier in 1776.

On July 2, 1776, the Pennsylvania Evening Post published: “This day the Continental Congress declared

HE MADE BARE HIS HOLY ARM

God Is Ready And Willing!

[This article will be included as one of the chapters in an upcoming book I will be releasing later this year.]

The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God. Isaiah 52:10

In our modern times, it’s unheard of for kings, presidents, or prime ministers to be present on the battlefield. But in the lands and times of the Bible, it was commonplace for kings to not only be present but fight in the battles. This custom was carried out well into the Middle Ages.

In the Bible there are many accounts of kings fighting in battles. Some were successful, and some were not. Keeping in mind kings did indeed fight in battles helps us understand the meaning of God bearing His holy arm.

Kingly Robes

The robes of kings in the Bible times were long garments with
