Words wither and blogs fade away…
Forgive me if you’ve heard this song before, but I've decided to stop blogging at He is Sufficient. I truly appreciate all of the wit, wisdom and words of faith that you have shared with me over the past few years. I wish you well in all of your endeavors, whatever they may be and wherever they may lead you. “God is sufficient for the needs of His people”. Amen!

Gen-X Bible thumper seeks TNIV…
I really, really don’t understand Zondervan’s marketing and publishing decisions when it comes to the TNIV. This is a worthy revision of the venerable NIV, yet Zondervan seems determined to cut it off at the knees before it gets the chance to run in the marketplace. Some background: I’m searching for a “modern” Bible to [...]

SoD: “The Heart Of Worship”
Note: this is the first of what will be a semi-regular feature of this blog going forward, the “song of the day”. Sometimes I’ll post just the lyrics, sometimes some discussion of the source verses or imagery contained in the song.

Yes, John, Bible blogging is fun
In attempt to create a circular blog link loop with John over at Ancient Hebrew Poetry, I will note that he’s made a refreshing post on Why Bible Blogging is Fun, including a cool note about this blog’s joyful new masthead (which Esteban had also previously commented on). (Aside: Suzanne – that’s another use of [...]

Saving a dime…
I had to run out last night to get more coffee for the house as we were down to the last bit of the previous pound. One of the local store chains (not my preferred Starbucks) has a daily trivia question where if you answer correctly, you can save a dime off the total bill. [...]

Reading Jesus in the Old Testament
In my latest post about choosing a modern Bible translation, Randy comments that: “The problem that I have with the TNIV is that it is harder to see Jesus Christ in the Old Testament as Jesus said in Luke 24:26-27 “Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory?” [...]

Choosing a modern Bible translation, part 4
This blog started, in part, to document my search for a new Bible translation that would replace my venerable NASB as my primary reading and study Bible. Of late, I’ve been bouncing between the TNIV, HCSB and REB translations, struggling with what importance (if any) to place on issues like gender accuracy, associations with denominations/special [...]

Thoughts on changing churches
For the past five years or so, my wife, Cindy, and I (and our family as it’s grown) have attended an Evangelical Covenant Church in our local community. We started going there shortly after we were married and enjoyed it greatly: the senior pastor was kind and a genuine shepherd to his congregation, the worship [...]
