If you don’t know much about William Tyndale, don’t take my blog’s word for it… Buy the book! It’s an amazing work by David Daniell, Professor Emeritus of English in the University of London. If anyone should know about this guy, Daniell should.
Tyndale is the Father of the English Bible. He lived from approximately 1494 [...]

Christmas… our 6th time with kids
Posted in Trivialities on December 25, 2006 | 1 Comment »
Well, we’ve survived a 6th Christmas holiday. This time, there were noticeably more grown up gifts… Santa brought Jacob a bike. A very cool one! At the end of an hour he was riding 50 yards or so by himself. Woohoo! Amberlee got a Barbie trike, and is equally ecstatic about it. Then there’s the [...]
Renewed day by day – Part 2 of 2
Posted in Theology on December 21, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
Ok – the 2nd part of what I’ve been thinking about, in relation to 2 Corinthians 4:16 is this. How does the everyday Christian bring other souls to Christ? I mean, Jesus gave the great commission in Matt. 28, and yet we don’t always find the right conversation to drop the right words in. I don’t [...]
Renewed day by day – Part 1 of 2

There is a great passage that’s been rolling around in my head the last few days. 2 Corinthians 4:16 says, “Even though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day.” I’ve had a couple of new of thoughts recently that I’ll mention in this post. 1) There was [...]
Elizabeth’s better!

Well, not totally… but MUCH better! To our knowledge, she has passed the stone, and is only dealing with residual pain from the ordeal. She is still very tired as she never really got any restful sleep for 2-3 days, so please keep on praying for her if you will.
Praise God for his power and [...]
Elizabeth is Stoned…

This is no time for humor, actually. I have such bad taste… Seriously, please pray for Elizabeth right now. She is in the hospital with a kidney stone and WAS in excruciating pain. The pain is subsiding – gradually – thanks to modern meds, but they are keeping her in St. Thomas Hospital here in [...]
Cinderella Man… an absolutely must-see movie.

No, no… I’m not talking about Rocky Balboa. I’m talking about the story of James J. Braddock, better known as “Cinderella Man.” It is on TV tonight, and I was reminded of how much I fell in love with it the first time I rented it (3 or 4 times!). Unfortunately, I must warn you that [...]
A great passage… and timely.

Has there ever been a better time for this? I know I need it.
Do all things without grumbling or disputing; so that
you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children
of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse
generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world,
holding [...]
What have they done to Jesus?

I saw an interesting video clip on Fox News’s website. One of my favorite New Testament scholars, Ben Witherington, was being questioned about recent efforts to drum up the post-canonical writings about Jesus. That is, books that were written that were found to be heretical because they countered everything Jesus taught, or exemplified, and were [...]
