This is ta fictional series framed around the War for American Independence. The Black Robed Regiment was the unofficial title for those pastors who left their pastoral duties, for a time, to serve as chaplains in the war. This series spins off of that and builds a story around Pastor Billy Stonecipher. The series is based on my limited knowledge of the period, my imagination and the help of ChatGPT 3.5, Filmora 13 and DiffusionBee for graphics.

The book of Isaiah is considered by the Jews to be the most important of all the prophecies, not only for its volume but also for the content found within it. It was separated from the rest of the prophetical books into its own scroll. Apparently, the Lord feels like it is very important too because it is quoted directly at least sixty-six times in the New Testament and twenty of the twenty-seven New Testament writers reinforce their message by quoting Isaiah. Its value can be illustrated by a number of things. First, only Psalms contains more predictions of Christ than does Isaiah. In ...

Years ago, when I first started in the ministry, I was admonished not to teach through Psalms 119. The reason, I think was with good intent. I was going to start a brand-new church and the pastor who encouraged me not to teach this wanted me to teach through Acts – it’s an exciting book about church planting.

Almost twice as long as the next longest. One hundred seventy six verses Divided into ...

I remember when I first began to live for the Lord, Mike Riggs and I were doing a Bible study at noon on the job site, and Mike told me that I should underline the word faith each time it is used in this chapter. It is one of the most impressive chapters of all the Bible. You will notice with me that the chapter begins with the definition of faith. This is traditional Jewish literature in that the Apostle summarizes all that he plans on presenting to us in just the first few words. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders ...
