About this notebook

This is basically just my notebook. I’m using it to keep track of Bible studies I’ve worked on, notes about books I’ve been reading, messages shared and the materials that might go with them, and a place to keep the small notes I have all over the place that I keep losing.

In the physical world, I have a big notebook/binder/bag where I keep my current studies, message notes, and all of my loose notes about anything. I’ve been wondering what to do with all of my loose notes. They’re not complete, they’re not something to publish as a book or speak as a message but they’re useful for when I do get around to looking more thoroughly into a certain topic or book of the Bible. After trying a few things I’m now posting them on this site. There are lots to type in and I keep adding to the pile.

Another purpose for adding these to a public site is to be able to share certain things with others. Often I’m asked the same questions at different places. Sometimes I can give longer answers but other times I run out of time. Some topics are so involved that they require a lot more details than I can provide all the time. I’ve had to redraw the same charts over and over in person in different discussions but it’s much more useful to have one already built with lots of Scriptural references and notes. So I hope to put more effort into a few things that can be used more often.

This is not a ministry or a company but simply my own notebook. Feel free to send me a note or ask a question. If there’s something you’d like to see on here that would be useful let me know.

If you're using the bible.com app feel free to connect so we can share notes. I have more notes on there connected with verses and highlights. Some of those are on this site but a lot of the smaller ones are just on there: https://my.bible.com/users/geoffreympittman/notes

How do you end an “about” page? I remember one time when I was praying with someone who just became a Christian as we prayed. When he was finished praying he didn’t know what to say (he hadn’t been exposed to the ending most Christians use). So he looked up at me and opened his eyes and said “Hey! I’m done.”

The mystery of Israel: a conversation about prophecies and modern events

This is not a message, it is more of a discussion that I’ve been having with several people by phone call or email or chat or in person. This only includes some notes on it but I wanted to share a more comprehensive view all at once.

God Has Spoken Series

Question: Where can I get the audio messages of Stephen Kaung's God Has Spoken series? If I could recommend only one book or series by Stephen Kaung it would be his God Has Spoken series. He shared a message for each book of the Bible, giving a simple overview and revealing the way to find Christ as you read. It is not only his classic set but it's His way with the Scriptures. Our brother could always find Christ and find Him as He's meant to be found. For a new believer and an old believer, this is the first set to have as guide through the Bible and a reference set to go back to later on. Below are links to each of the original messages. Old Testament Introduction to the Old Testament Genesis -The Will of God Exodus -The Works of God Leviticus - The Ways of God Numbers -The Walk of God Deuteronomy - The Word of God Joshua - Possessing the Land Judges - Possessing all the Possessions Ruth - Recovery of the Inheritance I Samuel - Epoch-...

How do I prepare to share a 5-minute message?

I just received a question via text from a brother who is about to share a short word at an upcoming event. He wanted to know how I prepare when I'm sharing a word. There are many more details to talk about, but for those 5-minute times, here are my notes: 1) Pray for the people The "burden of the word" (Mal 1:1) or the specific main word I get often comes through this. If I have no clue what to share on and I'm asking the Lord about it, the answer doesn't always come until I begin to pray for the people. More often than not, I'll be praying for the souls, and some Scripture or topic will come through that. Sometimes I already have the word, and I cannot tell when it came, but I know what I should share on. In your case, you may have a word already in your heart that has worked in you to get you to this point. Even still, you take the word and bring it to the Lord and pray for the people that will be listening. 2) Meditate and receive the word The largest par...
