  2. My Recommendations: Book of the Week, May 8

    Instead of a book this week, I am recommending a DVD of one of the best documentaries I have ever seen on the historicity of the early chapters of the Book of Genesis: “Is Genesis History?” Del Tackett (who directs The Truth Project ministry) was on one of our first rafting trips into the Grand…

  4. Hebrew Whiteboard Update: Psalm 6:5-6

  5. Why is Bible translation an important missions ministry?

  8. Hebrew Whiteboard Update: Psalm 6:1-4

    Psalms 3-7 all begin with God. David faces tremendous difficulties, some of them due to his own sin.

  11. Hebrew Whiteboard Update: Psalm 5 Complete

    The final two verses of Psalm 5 (vv. 12-13, Hebrew verse numbering) close out the psalm on a very high note. It expresses a climactic crescendo of rejoicing, a six-fold emphasis centering upon Yahweh Himself, and a series of parallels with the first stanza of the psalm (vv.

  17. My Recommendations: Book of the Week, March 27

  19. Memories of Mom

    Three years ago today, my mother left Colorado for the last time–all the way to heaven itself. At the age of 90 she still looked as she does in this wonderful picture of her that I took just about nine months earlier. That smile and the twinkle in her eyes stay with me even today. Mothers are one of
