Have you ever been listening to a sermon or some sort of Bible teaching and the speaker said something like, “This is where we get the English word _____ from…”?
Most of the time, the speaker will proceed to apply the contemporary word and its definition to the text as a way of explaining the text. [...]
Here is a copy of the sermon I prepared and taught this past Sunday (May 20, 2007). I pretty much followed what I have written here, but I did not really read it like a transcript. In fact, my copy was this, but I highlighted the main ideas I had, to keep me on track. [...]
I am sorry, but I have to share this with you all. On my way too and from work I listen to the radio. Mostly I listen to Preaching and sometimes I can deal with “Christian” Music. But when neither are interesting I will listen to the local rock station, especially if they are playing [...]

I was on my way home the other night and had the opportunity to hear a lady speaking at a Pastor’s Wives conference (that I assume was recorded and played over the radio).
She was giving numerous tips on how to be a good and gracious pastor’s wife. She talked about being a hospitable host, being [...]
Brandon over at Eleutheros “tagged” me. What this means is that I have to obey the laws of blogging and write seven random things about myself.
Here are the rules:
Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to write on their own blog about their seven things, as well as [...]
I was sitting this morning, enjoying one of the best boxed (or bagged?) muffins that I have had in a while. I was listening to the news on ABC, when they reported on a group in California who were planning on voting this Sundat on whether or not to allow an open sex offender to [...]
