Though God had to punish the Children of Israel for their many sins by sending them into exile in Babylon, the punishment had a promised limit of 70 years and at the end of the 70 years, He miraculously returned them to their land. In this lesson, we’ll go over the return, the leadership God used to make it possible, and challenges to us to be faithful to our promises. [Read more…]
Why We Can Trust the Bible Lesson Series
This is a fascinating series of videos that begins with my personal search for what is true in the Christian faith.
Before deconstructing your faith (getting to the core of what may or may not be true in it) was popular to do, years ago I found myself asking if what I believed was because it had always been what I’d been told by people I loved and trusted or if it was objectively true? [Read more…]

How to Fit the Bible Into a Busy Life, and how to get the most out of it
This video summarizes several longer ones on the importance of reading the Bible in Chronological order.
It’s a useful motivational one to prepare people for reading through the Bible in Chronological Order in the coming year. I created this one for a business group and they liked it. It’s a little less serious than the ones I do for church audiences and I tried not to make assumptions that people knew what I was talking about in this. [Read more…]
Whiner, Worker, Witness or Wonder Lessons learned from Ezekiel and Daniel
The setting for this lesson is that—time has run out. After hundreds of years of warnings and challenges, it’s over for Judah.
Daniel and Ezekiel are in Babylon taken there in an early deportation before the end came in Jerusalem. What seemed horrible to them at the time was a great blessing in disguise— they were kept from the horrors of the siege, the total destruction of Jerusalem, and final deportation. Daniel and his 3 friends were taken to the palace; Ezekiel was relocated with the captive people, near the river. [Read more…]
The Trinity, essential to understand, not nearly as hard as you might think it is, a series of lessons
Every false cult and false religion has at its base an incorrect understanding of the Trinity.
From the earliest days of the Christian faith and the early creeds, a correct understanding of the Trinity has been recognized as an essential doctrine to understand. Yet today many people think it is too difficult when it isn’t. [Read more…]

Keep your eyes open for a burning bush, no matter what your age!
The last few days we’ve attended the Global Leadership Summit in Pasadena, CA. As always, it was incredibly inspiring and challenging, but for me, this year particularly so as I was energized in a new way to do all I can in this and my associated ministries to help you know, trust, and apply the Bible and to teach it to others.

How We Got Our Bibles, a lesson group including the Old & New Testaments, Apocrypha, Canonicity, and the English Bible
Jesus replied to His critics by saying “You are in error because you don’t know the scriptures, (Matt.22:29).” And many Christians believe that His reply is a summary statement that reminds us that all we don’t know, how we ought to live today and forever, can be found when we get to know the Bible. Getting to know the Bible is a foundational task of a disciple of Jesus. [Read more…]
How to Understand the Apocalyptic Passages in the Bible
When we read through the Prophets in the Old Testament, particularly when we get to Ezekiel and Daniel we are introduced to fantastic images, whirling wheels, fantastic beasts, and world-shaking prophecies. This type of writing is what is known as “apocalyptic” and it’s useful to take some time to understand this type of writing, this genre in the Bible to understand the books that contain it. [Read more…]
Infographic of the last five kings of Judah, Josiah to the captivitythat makes sense!
I have always had a hard time figuring out the final years of the Southern Kingdom of Israel before it went into captivity, especially figuring out who was king and when.
It doesn’t help at all that one of the major books about the time, Jeremiah isn’t in order in how he relates God’s judgment—he jumps back and forth between various kings and with their similar names, Jehoiakim, Jehoiakim, and Jehoahaz, plus their father/grandfather Josiah—I got confused. [Read more…]
