    Free Book on Jerusalem

    In doing a recent series of lessons on the city of Jerusalem throughout the Bible, I cast a wide net to find resources of a historical, geographical, and archeological nature concerning this great city in the Old and New Testaments. One very valuable resource has been a free (for download) 250 page book written by Galyn Wiemers from www.generationword.com. Entitled, "Jerusalem: History, Archeology and Apologetic Proof of Scripture," it contains over 500 photos, maps and charts along with much explanatory text. [...]

    “Portraits of Jesus” Series Available

    Without argument, more paintings, drawings, images and statues have been made of Jesus than of any other person who has ever lived! Early catacomb images pictured Him with short hair and clean-shaven. Western artists of the Middle Ages up until today give Him longer hair, a beard, and more Western European features. But the truth is, the eye-witness records do not give us one shred of evidence about his actual appearance. Why? The answer is not clear. But this is clear: the gospel writers were not interested in what He looked like – they wanted everyone to know what He WAS like!

    Books That Changed My Thinking (4)

    Vine’s Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words should be one of the most treasured books in any serious Bible student’s library. Among its many values: discover how challenging the translation process can be from Greek to English (and give Bible translators a break!) Newer expository dictionaries are now available, but once you learn to use Vine’s you can comfortably switch to one of them if you wish.

    Reading List on the Apostle Paul

    In preparing and presenting my recent series on the Apostle Paul, I leaned most heavily on the following books. As I studied, it was with a view to what would illuminate and make plain the life, times, and activities of the great apostle. I had no interest (for the sake of my audience) in pursuing the more esoteric topics often written about concerning him.
    Paul: Apostle of the Heart Set Free, by F. F. Bruce. Published by Wm. B. Eerdmans. The [...]

    ‟I, Paul: The Life and Teachings of the Great Apostle” – MP3 Series

    At the Tanglewood Church of Christ we have just completed a 38 lesson series on the apostle Paul, entitled, “I, Paul.” It was a comprehensive and in-depth examination of the historical record of the New Testament, and the cultural and historical background, together with Paul’s writings – all woven into a narrative of his life (as much as we can know of it) from birth to death.
    Raised in the most strict Jewish family, educated by the leading rabbi of the [...]

    The Gospel According to Apple, Inc.

    On October 5 news spread like wildfire across the internet that Steve Jobs, co-founder and long-time CEO of Apple, Inc. had passed away after a 7+ year battle with pancreatic cancer. The news coverage of his death as well as the huge outpouring of tributes and honors from all quarters spoke to the tremendous influence this man and his company has had on our modern, technological world.
    He has been variously described as a genius, a visionary, a secular prophet (see [...]

    The 10,000-Hour Rule

    I occasionally have my hearers ask me how I came to know so much about the historical background of the Scriptures. My response is pretty uniform: I have spent most of my adult life seeking to know more about the Scriptures! In 2008 a book entitled “Outliers: The Story of Success,” by author and New Yorker writer Malcolm Gladwell became a best seller. In it the author emphasizes over and over that real competency at something (including, I would think, Bible knowledge or teaching) is greatly determined by his so-called “10,000-Hour Rule.”
