Beginning
I’m sure today’s title is not a shock as it is only the second day of a new year when this is being published. It is a time of goal setting for some and reflection for others. I decided to explore the idea of beginnings in the Bible. I was surprised by the number of times the words “begin” or “beginning” were used in total. Of course, the most obvious was Genesis 1:1 where we read, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” It was really this thought that got my brain going. It all begins with God, so how else is that represented throughout the Bible?…

“We Have a Law”
During the time devoted to the Lord’s supper during our worship service each week, I have made it a practice to read something that keeps my mind focused on the unjust trials and the crucifixion of Jesus. Sometimes the material that I read is from a book of devotional thoughts I have downloaded on my iPad. Those thoughts are focused on those events. Most of the time, though, I am reading about those events from one of the gospel accounts. Recently, as I was reading from the Gospel of John, some words caught my attention. I had read them many times before, but they made more of an impact this…

A Lesson Learned from Teaching the Song of Solomon
I’m only a couple of weeks away from finishing teaching a Bible class on the Song of Solomon. This is actually the second time I have taught through that book, and, while challenging, it is a joy. Since the book is quite short, we are able to throw in a few “special studies” on marriage, but they all come from the concepts found in that great love poem.
