Don’t let this post stop you from reading the previous one I just wrote, which is better and more important. Not that this one isn’t important, so … Blessing and Cursing I remember my surprise the first time I really noticed Proverbs 26:2 as I was reading … Like a flitting sparrow, like a flying [...]

One of these days I’m going to have time to do justice to the series I was doing on the appearance of Paul from 1 Thessalonians 2. There’s one post on exhortation I really want to get to, but I have to have a good amount of time to write it. I got another email [...]

I don’t want to write posts like the one I just wrote without telling you what I’m about to tell you. That post discussed true and false Christians—or disciples vs. mere believers—and I don’t want you to misunderstand what I mean by disciple.

I love the Psalms. Sometimes I’m scared to start reading them because I can get so caught up in the message of just one Psalm. It’s amazing the truths that are laying there, just under the surface, for the person willing to dig for them and to get used to interpreting the Psalms. It’s not [...]

There are not many of Evangelicals who believe the Bible, even though we say we do, so I get a lot of objections to these verses.
