I am praying about this and possibly in the next few years will seek nonprofit status.
At present, I am working so hard and many hours to simply get the content for Bible805 out on a consistent basis. I don’t have time to do all the work required for nonprofit status and I also don’t have the extra filing fees it will take to get a nonprofit entity put together. I do however need and would greatly appreciate your support now. [Read more…]
Intro note: The following was prompted by a question asked by one of the members of the Trust the Bible class I teach at my church.
I have a question in regard to ‘Purgatory’, which is this: What is the biblical justification for said place, or idea? [Read more…]
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 are we supposed to act when things go wrong? Especially if we had nothing to do to cause the problems that plague us? How can we help others who are going through a hard time?
I have answers to these questions and more in this lesson.
In the Bible class I teach one of the members asked me about so-called, “prophets” today. A friend invited her to a prophetic meeting, and she went but did not feel comfortable with the words the prophet pronounced over her, nor did the rest of her family. [Read more…]
Introductory note from Yvon: I created this infographic to go along with the lesson, The Fall of Israel, How Falling is Never Final with Our God. A key part of that lesson is the importance of the proper dating of when God gave the children of Israel His laws and the repeated warnings of the prophets before judgment came. [Read more…]
This is the start of a new series of lessons on Discipleship, of learning to live, love, and serve our world as Jesus did, which is what everyone who has trusted Jesus as Savior should be about doing. This short lesson is a foundational one and is entitled 5 Assurances for the Disciple of Jesus. Following is a short video that overviews it. [Read more…]
In many ways, the most important of the four goals of Bible805 (for you to know, trust, apply and teach the Bible) is for you to APPLY the Bible. Though application comes last in our progression of how first we need to KNOW what it says, then TRUST it is God’s Word, and finally to APPLY it, without application, knowledge and trust alone do little to change our lives and serve as a witness to our world. If we aren’t applying it, we certainly cannot teach it with integrity. [Read more…]
Before I share these lessons with you online I teach them to an adult Bible class at my church. Some of the class members are relatively new to following Jesus and have never read through the Bible before. I encourage questions as I teach, and we have discussion following the presentation. I’ve found their questions and comments absolutely invaluable as they help me see things in a new light. [Read more…]
With this lesson, we start the adventure of reading through the Bible in Chronological Order. It begins by reading Genesis and three days into it, we jump to the book of Job.
We will talk about why we read these two books together and you’ll see how Genesis and Job lay the foundation for much of what we will read in the rest of the Bible by starting out with answers to the Big Questions of life— [Read more…]
The word “advent” means arrival or coming, referring to the coming of Jesus to be born as a baby.
Traditionally, we celebrate it by lighting candles, reading devotions, and preparing our hearts for Christmas. [Read more…]
