A few months ago I got a call from Broadman and Holman Publishers asking if they could use my book on Elijah as part of their Masterwork adult Sunday School curriculum. I told them it was fine with me, and that was the last I heard of it until a few days ago when I got an email from a pastor saying that his church was going to be going through the …

Today Israeli archeologists reported on the discovery of the first-ever “Jesus era” home found in Nazareth. “The building that we found is small and modest and it is most likely typical of the dwe…

Several days ago I received an email asking about Hebrews 10:26, the last (and strongest) of the “warning passages” in Hebrews. It happens that the writer is a soldier serving in Afghanistan. Here is how he put his question:One of the guys on my team and myself started a Bible study. We are actually talking about salvation. We also brou…

A few years ago I wrote a book on the Lord’s Prayer called “And When You Pray.” When I finished writing it, I came away deeply impressed with how profound this little prayer is.

I was asked recently about Paul’s statement in 1 Corinthians 5:9-11 that there are times when we should not even eat with a sinning believer:I have written you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people—not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case yo…

The other day Marlene was chatting with a friend who asked her for some biblical help regarding a question she had. She wanted my wife’s insight because she had asked her boss and wasn’t satisfied with her boss’s answer. Her boss told her, “It’s like the Bible says, ’Birds of a feather flock together.’…

This morning I’ll be on American Family Radio from 10 AM-12 Noon CDT. In the first hour Kerby Anderson joins us to discuss “A Biblical View of Capitalism and Socialism.” During the second hour we’ll have a trivia contest.

“If a man loudly blesses his neighbor early in the morning, it will be taken as a curse” (Proverbs 27:14). I hadn’t thought about this verse in a long time until a friend in China asked me about it via Facebook IM this morning. How could it be,…

So here we are in February. How are you doing with your Bible reading this year? Are you still on the Bible Bus or did you jump off by the middle of January? If you’ve gotten behind, don’t worry about it. We are still very early in 2009 so there is plenty of time to hop back on the Bible Bus. That’s the nice thing about reading th…
