I see Christianity, as we know it today, as an outgrowth of mostly one mind and one perspective and that is the mind and perspective of Paul the apostle who was the alter-ego for another man who lived and wrote in the AD 80s and AD 90s. What I have discovered is that Paul, in writing about himself, is not writing about philosophy and movements that were later molded into a world religion; he is writing firstly about the very real events in which he participated, and only secondarily about his own singular effort to concoct a new religious perspective.

No one disputes their celestial glory — dazzling, dramatic, and perhaps somehow meaningful. But how? What is it about the 12 major constellations in our night sky that has captivated almost everyone throughout history from ancient stargazers searching the skies with naked eyes to modern astronomers scanning the stars through incredibly powerful telescopes. There are those who claim the stars give each of us personal information based on the date of our birth. But we know better, of course. Are the positioning of the stars entirely random? If so, why do they tell such a powerful story? Is ...

Book Summary Jesus Prayed Three Devotions – listening in on the Heart of Jesus. The introduction to Jesus Prayed invites readers into one of the most intimate moments in Scripture: Jesus’ prayer in John 17. This prayer takes place on the night before the crucifixion, during the Last Supper, when Jesus knew suffering and death were just hours away. Yet His heart remained full of love, peace, and purpose. Before He prayed, Jesus washed His disciples’ feet (John 13), revealing the heart of the Kingdom — humility, compassion, and sacrificial love. Even though Judas had already chosen ...

Finally, we will come to see how God’s grace of generosity through us as Christ-followers enables the future to break into...

Philemon is one of the shortest books of the New Testament. This small letter is one of the Prison Epistles, written by the Apostle Paul at about the same time as Ephesians and Colossians and may have been carried back to Philemon by the same person and at the same time as Colossians and Ephesians. It is also considered to be one of the purest. This study will take us through the Book of Philemon with a magnifying glass; sometimes a microscope, as we discover practical insights into Christian and especially pastoral ethics.
