I found this quote (originally put in the form of a question) from John Bunyan a great comfort to my soul. If you sometimes feel overwhelmed by the sin you see in the world around you, and much more by the sin you see in your own heart, here is a good word from Mr. Bunyan. There is “more worth and merit in one drop of Christ’s blood to …

I just discovered an apparently unending Bible quiz game called BibleApps. When a verse from the King James Version pops up, you have 30 seconds to decide which of three books of the Bible it comes from. You can check your scores against other players, and discover your rank, all the way from “Bible Noob” to “Front Pew,” to …

The four gospels do not tell us much about what happened on the Saturday between Good Friday and Easter Sunday.

I just found a helpful Bible study website called Biblos.com that offers a simple way for you to compare many different Bible translations of a particular verse. This morning I’m working on a sermon on Mark 8:22-26. Just type in, say, Mark 8:23, and the verse pops up in 13 different translations. Plus it offers numero …

From reading Brian Bill’s blog, I learned about a new Bible study tool called the New Testament Hyper-Concordance. It’s an online concordance to every important word in the New Testament. You click on a word like “obey” or “Egypt” or “road” or “heaven” and the program immediately displays every mention of that p …

11:38 PM In my sermon this AM, I made a crack about low-carb ice cream—”That’s not right.” Of course, I’ve never really had any. Dan Norton sent me this message: “Better dish you up a little…it tastes better than the real thing! I wouldn’t have believed it myself, but it’s true. And I have about 3 gallons…
