His invisible qualities—both his eternal power and his divine nature—have been clearly seen, because they can be understood from what he has made. Romans 1:20,21.

Although I ended on Romans 1:20 previously, that was several weeks ago, and we probably forgot what it says; besides that, it helps us understand verse 21 better. Romans 1:20-21 CJB  For ever since the creation of the universe his … Continue reading →

This is a brief step aside from my study on Romans to look, once again, at the Peretti book, Piercing the Darkness.

Posted on 02/06/2019 by

I have been rereading a Frank E. Peretti book called Piercing the Darkness. Years ago I heard Dr. Dobson interview Mr. Peretti about the books he has written because there was such insight into the spirit world, and Dr. Dobson, … Continue reading →

I shall be blessed by the will of God to come to you. Romans 1:8-12.

Posted on 07/05/2019 by

When I was young, I rarely found a trek through the Bible interesting. I suppose that had more to do with the person who was doing the teaching and their personality. I often find my character to be a bit … Continue reading →

On the idea of judgment. 1Corinthians 6:2,3.

Posted on 20/04/2019 by

The conversation was wrapped around a challenge from the local university students who asked my friend what he thought of the idea that angels are superior to humans, God’s creation. I suppose this challenge emanated from some liberal professor who … Continue reading →

Romans 1:1. Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus.

Posted on 07/04/2019 by

With the understanding that Jesus is God, I began to study the gospels where the actions and words of Jesus were laid out before me.

It turns out that I am more of a visual learner, for once I get the imagery in my head, that scriptural scene usually stays with me forever. So, when it comes to my experiences in comprehending the Bible, the understanding has come through repetition and a great deal of writing. The writing has been my opportunity to ask God my questions, no matter how awkward or embarrassing, and put forth my heartfelt challenges. Continue reading →

Wait for the salvation of God. Micah 7:1-17.

Posted on 17/03/2019 by

As I move into the last chapter of Micah I feel a sense of relief because it seems that book studies/commentaries can, at times, be wearisome. In looking at statistics on the blog, I can see that readers have dropped … Continue reading →
