I had never thought about this before but Peter Kirk at Better Bibles Blog has a really interesting post called Subtle heresies in Hebrews 2:14. One of the statements he made really surprised me: Jesus came to share with us in humanity, became incarnate, with no suggestion that this situation ended with his death [...]

Yeah, I know. I’m a terrible chauvinist. But there aren’t many babes who blog that hold my interest. Too many cat blogs. Too many cute kid blogs. Too many flowers. Don’t get me wrong. I like kids and flowers and all that (cats, I have a bit of trouble with but we’ll leave that alone…). [...]

The Pauline epistle we know as “Ephesians” was certainly written by Paul but not to the church in Ephesus. The phrase “in Ephesus” in 1:1 is not found in some of the older manuscripts.

Photo: Until his death in 2006, this man was the oldest person in Dinthi village. Prayer for the world: Old Man of Africa Our Father in Heaven, thank you for the old men of Africa who through their wisdom guide the young. Many old men have never heard the Gospel and the [...]

My grandmother, Mary Wilson has been diagnosed with inoperable colon cancer. Please pray for her. More pictures by our kids for Nanna.

Here are some pictures from the Ker kids to cheer you up while you’re recovering.  We love you and are praying for you.      

You might call this rambling series on the synoptic gospels an “unsystematic” theology. But I’m enjoying holding the gospels up and looking at them from different angles. Such a study is passé these days as everyone seems to be more interested in the Gospel of Thomas, Judas and Hebrew Matthew. But the more I study the first three [...]

Dear Mom, There is no reason to read this post.  It’s just internerd blogeeky stuff that wouldn’t interest you in the slightest. Although you might be proud to know my blog was read 5,832 times in the last month which puts it into the same circulation bracket as the Jefferson Review. Love, Your Son Every [...]

Please let others know about this exciting opportunity. Photo: David coming out of the hut. We’re back in Dinthi village for another couple weeks before we transfer up to Ulongwe. This morning I went to get some things out of our hut and I was amazed at what great condition it is in six years after being built.  [...]
