Only one Gospel, but more than one Gospel passage 1 Cor. 15:3-4 is most often cited as the Gospel verse. And understandably so.

At this point I have five books available for whoever wants them. And a sixth one – the one on the far right – should be up in a week or two. If interested just let me know here or send me an email at epitom4@gmail.com. The image I see here only shows two covers but if you select the image you...

It is always needful to keep in mind to whom these passages are written. Some commentators place too much emphasis on Isaiah’s time, others make much of the application to the post-exilic era. Granted, these verses were certainly a great help for those who returned to Israel to rebuild. Others...

We are used to thinking of these words of Christ as metaphor, but it could be argued that the real metaphors are the physical grapevines, created by God, along with other metaphors in nature to point to the higher plane of spiritual reality. In other words, Christ truly is our Vine. We get our...

We visited Belize first in May, June 2009 and a second time May and June of 2010. The pictures of this post are from these two trips but the incidents here happened on that second trip. Shakedown & Shakeup: Belize Trip
