Accept God's Divine Exchange!

Today, God has Good News for the oppressed! And He has anointed me to bring this Good News to you; the same authority Jesus has, He gave it to me (Luke 10:19) - so God is using me today to give you this word. Listen with your spiritual ears today at what God is saying to you. He loves you very much and He want to set you free today; He has already made provisions for your freedom – just accept it. But, you cannot be free without accepting Jesus; there is no way you can be free without the One… Continue

Here I am, out in the open.

These letters are in response to questions from a pastor who is seeking an outreach mission pastor in Canada. His questions related to information available on my web site. I do not have permission to reprint his questions but they are valid concerns for someone looking for a ministry partner.



First, and most important, is the clear understanding that as an academic I separate "belief" and "faith", just as I distinguish… Continue

What Do You Do When Your Healing Does Not Manifest?

Here is a teaching by Gloria Copeland telling you what to do when your healing does not manifest (http://www.kcm.org/real-help/article/what-do-when-healing-doesnt-manifest). I wanted to share this article with my friends because I know there is an attack on the body of Christ with sickness. I myself have been battling back pain which caused pain in other areas of my body. So through all of that, I am much… Continue

EXEGESIS AIDS AND RESOURCES

SESSION 4 – EXEGESIS AIDS AND RESOURCES

1. There is no single authoritative version of the Old Testament text in existence. The Hebrew text printed in both the older BH3 and the current standard BHS, is merely an edited arrangement of the Leningrad Codex, a manuscript from the early eleventh century A.D., one manuscript among many from ancient and medieval times. We can still say that certain copies and versions are generally considered less reliable than others are.

2. The… Continue

SHORT GUIDE FOR SERMON EXEGESIS

SESSION 3 – SHORT GUIDE FOR SERMON EXEGESIS

1. The total time allotted is somewhat arbitrarily set at about five hours, the minimum that a pastor ought normally to be able to give to the research aspect of sermon preparation. If you are new to exegetical preaching, you will need to increase the time allotments substantially. The sermon is usually composed in ten hours or less.

2. The average Sunday sermon is so often either devoid of exegetical insight or sprinkled with exegetical… Continue

12 Stepping!

Welcome to this blog. I am inviting you to visit the inside of of my mind and how it works, but most of all, I will allow you to look into my heart, this new heart that I wake up to every day. This Heart that is the same Heart that I was born with (plus the triple bypass from 2000)but it is different. I have noticed...each day I wake up it is getting stronger and bolder! Stop and listen to your heart beat, what do you hear?



I remember when I first actually allowed Jesus in to my… Continue

EXEGESIS AND THE ORIGINAL TEXT

SESSION 2 – Exegesis and the Original Text



1. No modern translation follows the BHS/BH3 Hebrew text slavishly. These differences among the modern English versions of the Old Testament are due simply to translators’ reconstructions of the Hebrew text. All translators change it whenever they think that the evidence from the ancient versions points to an original Hebrew text different from that preserved in the Leningrad Codex.

2. You have every right to (disagree) with…

Book Review: Chosen by God, by Dr. R.C. Sproul

For a long time I have been prejudiced against Calvinism. Not only was I prejudiced against it, I later found out that I was somewhat scared of it. I had accepted the opinions of others as to where Calvinism had diverged from Truth and avoided it like the plague.



Yet over the years I began to develop an appreciation for fairness and logical consistency. Partly this was due to my encounters with the prejudices of other Christians who wanted to pigeonhole some of my theological ideas… Continue

A Guide to Full Exegesis

Guide for Full Exegesis



1. Many times, especially in the poetic sections, a corruption will be insoluble: the wording may not make much sense in the Hebrew as it stands, but you cannot figure out a convincing alternative. In these cases, you should leave the received text alone. Your task is to reconstruct as far as possible the text as originally inspired by God, not to rewrite it.

2. Hebrew words do not have single meaning(s), and there are differences between a word and a… Continue

Walk for the Forgotten

Dear Friends,

Thank you all for your works of love in the name of our Lord. This is to let you all know of my upcoming walk for the forgotten. In todays world so many of the homeless and others of lower financial standing are overlooked because of their inability to make it to church or even sadder because of their inability to give financialy to the church. Unfortunately in so many of our modern churches, more emphasis is placed on financial gain rather than making sure we are there to… Continue
