• The Principle of Context from Joshua 7:1-26

  Something my study of Joshua examined this week was the correlation between the Old Testament literary devices (plot, characters, conflict), and the principles we the church try to pull from the Old Testament that don’t actually apply when viewed in the context of scripture. The post below was the result of that particular study. Literary…

• Three Solutions to the Problem of Evil

  In one of my discussions this week we took a brief look at some of the reasons and solutions to evil.  Using Erickson’s Christian Theology as a base, he identifies three solutions to the problem of evil and how God’s greatness, goodness, and the presence of evil can all be active forces at work in…

• Happy Anniversary Deb 17 Years Has Flown By

  It’s is hard to believe but today, 17 years ago, my wife and I got married.  This particular anniversary was a little different since Deborah would normally be sitting in the next room on a normal day, and this week she is in Denver teaching a hand quilting class, and it just happen to fall on…

• Love is Being the Church in Buloba Uganda

  I love it when the church actually is the church.  Paul had such a desire to get to the unreached nations of the world that he probably died on his way to Spain, not in retirement, but with a passion to reach Spain and the world beyond for Christ.  There are many things and purposes…

• Concern, Timing, and the Attitude of Nehemiah

  Sunday, we started a new eight week look at the book of Nehemiah.   A few years ago I completed a class study (about 4 months long) just on the book of Nehemiah, scripture by scripture.  Prior to that class I really had no idea who this man was or what he did. After the…

• How Ancient Near East Writings Clarify Scripture

  Many Ancient Near East writings have similarities to the familiar stories of the Old Testament text; the creation story of Genesis 1-2 with Mesopotamia and Enki, Noah with the Epic of Gilgamesh (text), and the Genesis account of the Tower of Babel in 11:1-9 with “Enmerkar and the Lord of Aratta”.  The Sumerian account that…

• Lala.com Now Shutdown and Discontinued

  I was sorry to see Lala.com get shut down by Apple on May 31st. I had been a Lala.com user, trader, listener, since it was back in Beta testing and it was only a few guys trading CD’s with no jewel cases or artwork, back when their logo was red, not blue. That was back…
