Usually when I write about scripture, I have my own musings to share. Today, however, I want to just point at something and say, “Wow, that’s neat!”

The verse in question.

13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, a Man stood opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand. …

the following is reworking of the testimony I gave at my Baptism in June of 2024, I am sharing it here, so that I have a quick way of sharing it when I need to, and, on the off chance others want to read it.

I haven’t been Christian for that long, not really. Actually, the first time I ever walked into a church, on purpose, and willingly, was …

The MVP in sports is a well-known acronym for the ‘Most Valuable Player.’ Likewise, I think there are some ways in which the ‘Minimum Viable Prayer,’ is also the ‘Most Valuable Prayer.’

Disclaimer: As I have said many times in many posts, I am not a theologian. I’m just an avid Bible reader and thinker of things. So, please, if the following …

The Bible was not written recently. Well, if we measure time from the beginning, it was written quite recently, but measuring it in human historical terms, it was not written very recently at all.

1 Corinthians is my most read and most loved book of the Bible. It has also been the book which I have found to be the most challenging.

This epistle is attributed to Paul beyond any …

Time for another deep read, this time Ephesians 1:3-6. (if you are curious about my methodology, please check the bottom of this post.)

Ephesians was written by Paul, around 62AD (though this has been challenged in recent years. It still seems likely that Paul did, in fact, author this.) The Halley’s Bible Handbook (ref 1) notes that his was a …

Recently, a friend and I ended up having an impromptu ‘deep read’ of 1 Peter 1:1-2. We went away and did a little research and met back the following week top discuss it.
