The Big DUH I study and I study. I read a passage and read again…and through the years… and then…DUH. Everyone else probably gets this, but I just have these moments and Romans 12 provided it tonight. I have been immersed in Romans for a few weeks and thoroughly enjoying it. I have a picture of Karl Barth on my…

What a great birthday present! On New Year’s Day (my birthday) we were traveling back home from seeing my parents. When I checked the mail, I noticed a packaged. Could it be? Could this be what Zondervan had promised for months and months and had not delivered? Was this the order that Amazon said wouldn’t ship until FEBRUARY? YES! IT…

Some things just should not surprise me, I suppose, but they do. Maybe I will never get over the shock and move to numbing reality. I hope not. One of my part-time gigs is teaching NT History and Literature, along with another course, at a Christian college. Part of the grading for the semester was for each student to read…

Simple stories from the Old Testament are so wonderful. I can look at the story of David and Goliath from time to time and each time find some things the Lord can teach me. This trip through I notice again how Israel had lost their identity. They had allowed Goliath to dictate the rules of the game to them. He…

Today I was reflecting on one of the words of Christ from the cross. We have a community Good Friday service every year and my text was Luke 23:43 — “Today you will be with me in Paradise.” Interestingly, I went through this passage in TNIV and ESV and discovered how smooth the TNIV is compared to ESV. Verses 40-41…
