I love to study the Bible and I love to engage with others in learning. I had been privileged to do this on a regular basis through church ministry and through part-time teaching at a local Bible colleges.

What happens when we teach or when we learn but are not transformed? In a conversation with George May (Pastor of Counseling and Family Ministries at Calvary …
Internet Security
I’m a bit of a geek–well, probably more than a little bit. If it were not so expensive I’d definitely be an “early adopter.” The last year could be called the year of the security breach. The number of significant breaches of security at major retailers and other institutions should cause all who use technology pause–or …
Deception
Yesterday I heard the sad news that a couple I know years ago are getting divorced. My instinctive action, is to be heartbroken and then to be critical of the man who would leave his wife, his vows to her and the Lord. But as I have been reflecting in my study of the book of …
