Once again, I am reading through the New Testament, a chapter a day. Rather than the KJV or the NIV versions, I am using the Passion Translation of 2020. A couple days ago I was struck with verses four and five of Romans chapter 2. As I read and reread them, I visualized them written […]

Although I have completed half of Dual of Weddenskeep, the last half will be more challenging. When I found the manuscript a couple years ago, it was missing several latter portions. I seem to be experiencing writer’s block in determining how to proceed. Sharing this quandary with a friend, I was advised to let Weddenskeep […]

In my last post, I wrote of three different translations of the Bible, each published in a different format for different purposes. Together these different versions serve as an object lesson of Truth Himself, living out His life through His believers regardless of their ethnicity, color, language, customs, financial and social standing, and personal histories.

Martin Luther once said that the Bible is the ‘manger into which the baby Jesus is laid.’ He wasn’t talking about the physical Bible. Rather, he was talking about the Living Word, coming to us through the Bible. These words, spoken Sunday by our guest pastor, Dave Brauer-Rieke, follows his show-and-tell presentation of three different […]

Preparing for my upcoming, four month absence from my cozy little home, I decided to deal with my mail differently than I did a year ago. In 2025, a good friend collected my mail weekly and saved it in shopping bags. When I returned in June, I spent six weeks going through three bags of […]

It would be easy to live according to Christ’s teachings if it weren’t so difficult. Consider the precepts He gave to His apostles during His last supper on earth, as recorded by John. Love one another. 13:34 Believe in God; believe also in Me. 14:1 I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No […]
