My Notes


If you've been to my house and walked in my study, you'll notice I not only have piles of books, but I also have heaps of notes. Some are in folders organized by books of the bible or by topic. Some are just odd pieces of paper in a basket. I've also collected hundreds of questions from conferences or local talks. And this is just my physical mess; my digital files are pretty similar.

With this online notebook, I'm hoping to keep track of Bible studies, book reviews, messages shared (plus the materials that never made it into the message), manna meditations, and questions received. Some of these questions or notes are from over 15 years ago. I'm now trying to type them in along with current ones. This helps me to quickly find my notes and share something with another if useful. Feel free to add to the question box or fellowship/comment on any of the posts.
Till I come, give thyself to reading, to exhortation, to teaching. ... Occupy thyself with these things; be wholly in them, that thy progress may be manifest to all. (1 Timothy 4:13, 15)

Crave the word

  So glad for this verse today:    as newborn babes  desire earnestly  [crave] the pure mental milk of the word, that by it ye may grow up to salvation  - 1 Peter 2:2 Try reading 10 chapters by the  choice  of craving and then read some more by the reactive desire of it.  How often are my 5 or 10 second moments spent checking some other happiness than Christ? In 5 seconds I can check notifications or I can chew on my manna for the day. In 10 seconds I can check for new emails or rehearse that verse I've been trying to memorize. I can spend just 5 minutes listening to the news or I can spend it finishing a daily Bible reading portion.  Mother's milk is the best thing for the newborn baby. The milk of the word is the best source of joy all through the day. "crave ... the word ... if indeed ye have tasted that the Lord is good."

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.

Salvation by tossing a man overboard

Jonah 1:14-16  Then they cried out to the Lord, 'Please, Lord, do not let us die for taking this man’s life. Do not hold us accountable for killing an innocent man, for you, Lord, have done as you pleased.' Then they took Jonah and threw him overboard, and the raging sea grew calm. At this the men greatly feared the Lord, and they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made vows to him. This is deliverance by casting the stubborn prophet overboard.  It’s that part of your heart, deep asleep in the depths of the boat, that is running from the Lord. He is not innocent. He is not to be kept on the ship. Release him to the Lord’s monster-fish to be brought near to Sheol. If he dies, it was the Lord who let him die. If he is brought to land, your old stubbornness against the Lord’s will may become your new resoluteness to accomplish the Lord’s mission.  Oh Lord, I cast away this stubborn ‘man’ inside of me and release him to Your storms. Judge and do as You please. As for me, I will no
