Continuing our excursion through God’s word, today’s reading is Luke 5 & 6
One point I’d like to consider is Simon’s response to Jesus in 5:5.
Simon had labored all night fishing with nothing to show for his work. There was no reasonable, natural explanation for setting off and trying to catch something else. Yet, when Jesus [...]

An Acts 2 Message to an Acts 17 audience
Posted in Uncategorized on March 28, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
The title is paraphrasing a thought by Ken Hamm as he addressed the audience at a local baptist college.
The basic idea is that in Acts 2, Peter preached to a bunch of Jews – people whom God had been preparing for this very day with his word delivered through many prophets. They needed very [...]
How Sweet the Sound

Not long ago, I told Stacey that I didn’t want to sing “Amazing Grace” anymore. I have tired of the typical singing of the song – a dirge-like pace with little conviction nor care for the thoughts expressed by the words. Whenever I heard that number called, I’d roll my eyes as we [...]

Rosemary wasn’t a happy camper last night. Usually, when she wakes after we put her to bed for the night, Stacey goes to help her back to sleep.
Rosemary didn’t feel well at all, so Stacey stayed home from Bible study with her so I could teach my last class of the quarter. Willow [...]
Are You Worried?

Stacey reminded me of a passage in Ezekiel when she asked a question from her recent readings that prompted a sermon. Here is the basic idea:
In Ezekiel 8, God shows Ezekiel the Israelites wanton disregard for God’s commands and their whole-hearted embrace of idolatry. Each image/situation God exposes Ezekiel to – as bad [...]

Studying second Timothy for the class I’m teaching on Wednesday nights, I came across an interesting thought pertaining to the following passage from chapter 2:
You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men [...]

I’m impressed yet again. Not only has google been super cool by hooking us Linux users up with Picasa, but they’ve come up with this web album thing that should be super easy for those of you on windows. If you click on the picture below, you’ll be taken to the first album [...]
The New Tower of Babel?

I presented a lesson on Sunday based on the article I wrote for truth for today’s youth. One of the points mentioned the fact that the ‘net is a tremendous source of information and unless it’s in a different character set (cyrillic, kanji, etc…) it really is breaking down communication barriers.
An older brother who [...]
Fishing – Jesus’ Way

In our class yesterday morning, we were discussing Peter in Luke 5:1-11. One of the questions supplied was about Peter’s work fishing that changed from going after men instead of aquatic life. Specifically, the direction of answers migrated to equipment and preparation.
In the course of discussion, many people mentioned “bait” as a necessary [...]
An inconvenient half-truth

I’m most certainly not a fan of Albert Gore Jr.When I learned about his film – “An inconvenient truth” I was terribly disgusted.
I’ve long been of the opinion that God created this world well and stably enough that – though we impact things on a small scale (polluting lake erie, introducing non-native animals where [...]
