Reader Ian responded to last week’s e-mail and asked, “What about your new book? is it finished yet or when will it be available to buy?” Well, this is where I failed. I thought I could get it all wrapped up and out this weekend. I was hoping to...

Over the last week my wife and I watched a really interesting documentary about the rock band Bon Jovi. We are both of an age that we remember the music and many of the hit singles from the band. One amazing thing about the band is their longevity. They’ve been...

I know it’s been a while since I’ve written. I hope you haven’t forgotten who I am. 🙂 I write books about studying the Bible and devotional books about hymns and miracles. This is my way of saying I haven’t forgotten about you. Mentally...

I’m slogging through the edits of my book on how to study the Old Testament. After that I’m considering a book on how to study the gospels. The gospels are tricky. The main character is Jesus. He became human and took on flesh just like you and me. But...

He is Risen! That’s my joyful shout this time of the year. I hope you are well on your way to celebrating the resurrection this weekend! But that also means that a couple days ago, my wife and I celebrated Passover. We’ve done it every year for the last...

It’s a staple of Christian faith, that in the eternal state, we will get new bodies. 1 Corinthians 15 says “For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.” This verse tells us that our perishable...

Biblical archaeology is sometimes an oxymoron, other times utterly fascinating! I continue to read through my Bible this year. It’s a discipline I recommend every believer undertake. There simply is no other way to get the benefits it affords. Where am I now? ...

My first advice to anyone asking me how to get more spiritually serious is “read the Bible”. It is the first step to reversing the curse of ignorance and biblical illiteracy. These two factors literally “plague” Christians all over the world...

Last week I was looking for some background television to put on while making dinner. I wanted something that didn’t have a big plot and didn’t require my full attention. Because, I was making dinner and needed some attention for that. We have a Disney+...

Worse than making no plan at all is making a bad plan. This last week has been a serious trial. I’ve had to travel, which means I’ve gotten up close and personal with the airline industry. Let me summarize by saying “it’s been rough.”...

And it’s a brutal warning for anyone who worship’s God. Some of my best ideas come to me while singing worship songs at church. There’s something about belting out (mostly on tune) lyrics that exalt God. I see the world through different eyes. Sunday...

Have you ever come across one of the genealogies in the Bible and mentally thrown up your hands, as if to say “how could this possibly be helpful?” This week in my daily Bible reading I read through the genealogy from Noah to Abraham in Genesis...

It’s your friendly author of Christian books on Studying the Bible and some thoughtful devotionals. I love writing about God’s word, but today I want to talk about reading it. I just finished reading through the Bible for the year. Revelation 21 was the...

I lived 7 years in Eugene Oregon. Growing up, it was the longest period of time that I lived in one place. In 1984, in the middle of my Sophomore Year of High School, I moved to Tacoma Washington (with my parents and family, of course). I took the move with as good...

The other day I woke up with a song in my head. It stayed there most of the day. A little googling told me that there is a name for this phenomenon… an “earworm.” Well, I really had it bad. Except it was good, “How can I say thanks for the...
