Short
Bible Studies
Christian Wilderness Press - a
word: Dear reader, these studies are neither
"teachings" nor "doctrines". You are welcome to go through
them for anything beneficial; they are "off the cuff", if you will,
and are quickly typed and gone through once again to lessen
mistakes. They
do not reflect on the quality of my books which have had many years work
expended
upon them.
The many short Bible studies below essentially
are a single main passage, sometimes with some supporting passages, and
I go through each verse by verse sharing the meanings of Greek words as
I go along... and trying not to "sermonize" much. However, the short Bible sermons are similar (i.e. in the use of scripture), but
I allow myself to "sermonize" more... and perhaps use more supporting
passages. Even so, in both studies and in sermons my
goal is to focus on what the writer of a passage is telling me. In
other words, I do not choose a "topic" to write about. As I study for
myself (often by opening the Bible at random) I allow scripture to gain
my attention (or not), which sometimes draws me in and then I am off and running
(i.e. studying the passage in depth).
You need not be a regular Bible
reader, though my
underlying purpose is to motivate you to become one, even as the Lord
perhaps gains your
attention by emphasizing something to you. If you want to get
into the
Bible more (and not just into "specialized" scriptures) then here is
your chance. I do all of the work for you verse by verse.
Essentially you
will be looking over my shoulder as I study for myself (whereupon I then add
a few of my
studies - as the Lord leads - to the list below, after Barbara has proof read
them).
I do not take requests for studies or sermons; however, many writings below may will
interest you. In
going through a passage with me you will catch on to my
process. My years
of study have resulted in knowledge (and perhaps you will gain from
that), but
your
primary purpose should be to see if the Lord has something for you... even
in our
troubling times.
Therefore, the way to read along
is simply to take in verse
by verse and think about each, and then perhaps think about
what I might
have said (agreement with me is not essential) and
then let these
things gather in your brain like marbles. When you are through, you can
disregard the marbles or allow them to rattle around for awhile.
Hopefully you might be spurred on to do more marble collecting
on
your own.
Nevertheless,
know that the Great Helper is the One who honors His child as
the child
pokes through and around in the Precious Word.
I do not have the time to both study, do
my other work, and
at the same time make these studies clear, concise, and
organized into a teaching
upon a particular subject so that the reader may then completely wrap
his mind
around it. These studies are not meant to create
mental or doctrinal concepts. They are
for storing
away God's words in the innerman so that later He
might bring them up
for His purpose
in you and in me. I do what I do because I love my Bible, and even more
I
love the Author of my Bible.
These studies can be read on their own
pages or downloaded
as .pdf files. In either case they can be printed
for studying
later and sharing with others. Also you can give feedback by email (see above).
You can go to our Statistics
page to see how we are doing. We have been on the
Internet going on three years and more than half of our visitors each
month bookmarked one
or more pages. As you join Barbara and me you are part of
our
growing friends in the Lord and we hope to encourage Biblical
faith amid
the brethren. You can see countries of the visitors each month that
come to the
site
and see what they are reading and downloading.
Our website continues to grow
the
number of
visitors by means of their browser searches. Nonetheless, about 70% of our
visitors
arrive by way of having our website's address passed on to them by
friends, or
they have already visited us and bookmarked pages
and returned. We
trust that many of your favorite websites will take note of us
and include
links
to us on their sites.
*
Our site has
more than a few topics (and
growing) (see top of page) that contain many pages (and growing). Many
of our pages (as in these short Bible studies and sermons) have the files
available in pdf form. Due to many different
computers, operating systems, browsers, and varying monitors... using
the pdf files will always work well with your monitor and your printing
out of such pages. It is now the nature of such things.
(to read a pdf file, you must
first download the free
Adobe Reader at Adobe.com)
(If for any reason you cannot download
one of
these studies then email me and I will send it to you by email.)
Moreover, my two books God's Hook, a book
about Biblical faith,
and God's Rock,
the story of Moses and the Exodus Epoch
can be downloaded free as pdf e-books.
