Hermeneutics
I started Hermeneutics class 4 weeks ago. My brain has been exposed (again) to everything you are suppose to learn in grade school. That’s right folks: Nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, articles, prepositions, infinitives, conjunctions, phrases, clauses, and sentences. It is amazing how point of a passage in Scripture becomes clear after it is diagrammed. It does not mean that the passage was obscure before, it simply makes clear what is being said. There are several resources for learning how to diagram sentences on the internet. I have a few links below if you happen to...

We are heading out of town April 13th for a wedding. Lorie’s sister Jordan Applegate is getting married to Alex Devine on a Saturday afternoon. We will be driving from Phoenix for this trip and that equals a whole lot of hours in the car for the kids (and us). We will be in California, Oregon, Washington, and possibly Idaho. We are looking forward to seeing family and the possibility of meeting with a few groups of people about Papua New Guinea! If you are following this blog and would have a desire for us to present information about the Gospel going to PNG please contact us! We...

I filled out all the documentation and we went to Walmart for some passport photos. Greer and Belle...

They also flushed her lungs and cultured the liquid that they extracted from the procedure. She...
Read MoreShepherd’s Conference
This week is Shepherds Conference! It has been 2 years since I was last at this conference and I am looking forward to going. There are many things at this conference: Fellowship, books, food, biblical teaching, singing, and In & Out Burger. There is however one predominant theme that pervades Shepherds… The Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is the Gospel (The good news of sinners offered reconciliation to God by the work of Jesus on their behalf) that makes everything else (fellowship, food, singing, etc…) a joy. Without the Gospel this would be hollow Bible teaching conference...
