This week Norma Jean and I are in Tampa, Florida, attending the Florida College Lectures. This year’s theme is: “Light Shall shine Out of Darkness: God’s Light in an Age of Darkness.”
In the forward to the lecture book, Florida College President Buddy Payne wrote, “Ever since the beginning of the world, God has proven Himself to be the Giver of Light in all its forms. He inhabits light. He is light. He made the light of this world, and He has sent His spiritual light to earth personably in Jesus, who Himself is the Light of the World. Everything God is and does is described as light.” Continue reading

Matthew Henry was a well-known, British Bible scholar and Preacher who lived from 1662 to 1714. His commentaries on the Old and New Testament are still in print today.
One day Dr. Henry was riding his horse on the way to a church meeting where he was the guest speaker. As he journeyed through the dense forest a masked bandit suddenly appeared with a gun. He demanded that Henry dismount and hand over all of his money. Fearing for his life, he quickly complied as the robber returned into the woods. Continue reading

Monday’s column on the “Word of the Week: Hallowed” elicited these questions from one of our readers.

The little fellow looked up and said, “That’s what we learned in Bible class.” Continue reading

Beautiful. Incredible. Gorgeous. Awesome. Amazing. Majestic. These and other descriptive words were exchanged by Norma Jean and me as we enjoyed our trip to the Rocky Mountains last week.
From the Vail Valley to Independence Pass. From Breckenridge to Aspen. From Beaver Creek to Piney River. It was one awe-inspiring, breath-taking, God-affirming sight after another. Continue reading

On this day in history 83 years ago William Beebe set a record. On June 11, 1930, Beebe dove to a record-setting depth of 1,426 feet off the coast of Bermuda. He used a diving chamber, invented by Otis Barton, called a bathysphere.
This caught my eye because of the derivation of the word “bathysphere.” It’s a compound word. The first part comes from the Greek word “bathos” which means deep. It’s used by Paul in explaining the revelation of God’s Word by the Holy Spirit. Continue reading
