    In a world where so many people know so much, its good to be reminded of what is most important to know. This is summarized in John 9 by the words of the beggar who was healed: “One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.”

    John 9:1-41 The Gospel of John is a wonderful book. Its 21 chapters are organized a little differently than the others. He tends to group themes together in order to that the reader can see the theological connections between events, and places, and the teachings of Christ. I have to admit ...read more

    The book of Revelation offers great insight for understanding martyrdom and persecution.

    “Visiting Down Under” Rev. 6:9-11 If only we would read the book of Revelation as a message of comfort rather than a calendar of events, if only we would see Revelation as an opportunity for encouragement rather than a platform for debate, if only we would preach and teach it from a ...read more

    Jesus is not only the beginning and the end, he is also the center, around which everything holds together and without which everything falls apart.

    John never expected what happened that long-ago Sunday morning.

And there before him was a vision, a ...read more
