Quick – tell me everything you know about Isaiah 29. Ok, take your time and think about it. Not much better, eh? Interesting. As you know, I’m teaching through Isaiah in Sunday School this year and last week I taught chapter 28. I told the class from the start that I didn’t plan to teach… Read More »
Thanks for taking my poll on what biblical commentary I might write. I don’t get a lot of interaction on this blog, so it’s nice to get a little from time to time. By its very nature, the poll obviously wasn’t so serious. It was more of a gauge on your perception of my future,… Read More »
The Tyndale Commentaries are now available for Logos. For a few more days, there’s a deal for $140. This is a great set for the average person, and this is the best price I’ve seen. (Good until 4/10.) If you’ve done any image editing, you will find this incredible. It might convince me to buy… Read More »

But I just finished teaching chapters 24-27 in Sunday School. This section is popularly known as the “Little… Read More »
Last Friday House Representative Hank Johnson (D-GA) was questioning Admiral Robert Willard, head of the U.S. Pacific fleet, about the stationing of an additional 5,000 U.S. troops on Guam. Pay attention right at the 1:15 mark!
I’m selling my car, so if you know anyone in the market, pass the word on. The car’s in great shape. I’m only selling it because the mileage is getting high and I just ordered a newer one. Thanks!
I’m back home from a quick trip to California. Some of you prayed; thank you. A few observations: 1. My first impression when I got out of the airport was how beautiful southern California was. I was looking at some very green hills. I haven’t seen that since I last left Texas. 2. I have… Read More »
