Applying Matthew 23:8-12
8ὑμεῖς δὲ μὴ κληθῆτε ῥαββί · εἷς Î³Î¬Ï á¼ÏƒÏ„ιν ὑμῶν ὠδιδάσκαλος, πάντες δὲ ὑμεῖς ἀδελφοί á¼ÏƒÏ„ε. 9καὶ πατÎÏα μὴ καλÎσητε ὑμῶν á¼Ï€á½¶ τῆς γῆς, εἷς Î³Î¬Ï á¼ÏƒÏ„ιν ὑμῶν á½ Ï€Î±Ï„á½´Ï á½ Î¿á½Ïάνιος. 10μηδὲ κληθῆτε καθηγηταί, ὅτι καθηγητὴς ὑμῶν á¼ÏƒÏ„ιν εἷς ὠΧÏιστός. 11ὠδὲ μείζων ὑμῶν ἔσται ὑμῶν διάκονος. 12ὅστις δὲ ὑψώσει ἑαυτὸν ταπεινωθήσεται… Read More »

My wife grew up in Green Bay, so no more explanation need be given of why she is a Packers fan. I grew up in southern California, so it may not be readily obvious why I am a Cowboys fan. Perhaps it was because their training camp was in the next town over (Thousand Oaks). … Read More »
A Lost Way
Perhaps you know that Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is in Annapolis, Maryland this week for a “peace summit.” I think that all observers, liberal or conservative, would agree that Olmert is eager to give away as much as he can in order to secure peace.

Instead I’ll make a few comments from today. Today was the first day of the Evangelical Theological Society conference. I have been to… Read More »
Next Week in California

That’s more interesting because that’s where my employer is located, and we had family there until a few months ago. I’m going… Read More »
Is This Me?
Guy in his mid-30s moves to Plano, Texas to attend Dallas Theological Seminary but his website takes off and he has little time for school. This AP article is not about me and BiblePlaces.com, but about GodTube.com. He started in August and I started 6 Augusts ago, but he probably got more visitors last month… Read More »
