About


If you've been to my house and walked in my study, you'll notice I not only have piles of books, but I also have heaps of notes. Some are in folders organized by books of the bible or by topic. Some are just odd pieces of paper in a basket. I've also collected hundreds of questions from conferences or local talks. And this is just my physical mess; my digital files are pretty similar.

With this online notebook, I'm hoping to keep track of Bible studies, book reviews, messages shared (plus the materials that never made it into the message), manna meditations, and questions received. Some of these questions or notes are from over 15 years ago. I'm now trying to type them in along with current ones. This helps me to quickly find my notes and share something with another if useful. Feel free to add to the question box or fellowship/comment on any of the posts.
Till I come, give thyself to reading, to exhortation, to teaching. ... Occupy thyself with these things; be wholly in them, that thy progress may be manifest to all. (1 Timothy 4:13, 15)

There are many more details to talk about, but for those 5-minute times, here are my notes: 1) Pray for the people  The "burden of the word" (Mal 1:1) or the specific main word I get often comes through this. If I have no clue what to share on and I'm asking the Lord about it, the answer doesn't always come until I begin to pray for the people. More often than not, I'll be praying for the souls, and some Scripture or topic will come through that. Sometimes I already have the word, and I cannot tell when it came, but I know what I should share on. In your case, you may have a word already in your heart that has worked in you to get you to this point. Even still, you take the word and bring it to the Lord and pray for the people that will be listening. 2) Meditate and receive the word The largest par...

An Outline of Romans—From Faith To Faith

I've recently picked up studying Romans again and found this old outline that I had scratched down maybe 15 years ago. It was refreshing for me to see and was not something that I had seen in a commentary or heard in a message.
