Dan’s Bible Fellowship Class

I love the end of the month because I always get to the last few books of Proverbs.  I especially love Proverbs 31 and am thankful that I have been given a Proverbs 31 woman.  Of course Proverbs is a book of wisdom.  I’ve been reading in my quiet time for over 6 years.  This morning [...]

As I began reading Colossians this morning, I was struck by the fervor of Paul in writing to this church.  He writes words of encouragement, but does so in a very strong, emphatic tone.  He writes in such strong voice because he’s very concerned for the church that it not fall into deceptive teaching.  I [...]

I laughed to myself this morning as I read Psalm 42-43 because these verses reminded me of my lament to God and to my sometimes “to and fro” confidence in God’s provision.
From a purely theological standpoint, I’m confident that God will provide for every need that I have.  He will provide for my family according [...]

He writes the following praise:
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord [...]

He tells them that He is going to prepare a place for them in His Father’s mansion.  John 14:2.  He tells [...]

We’ve been in Tokyo five days now.  Every day, all day, we go to schools and universities to take the gospel to the students and into the household.  Although the middle school and high school students are polite, the acceptance rate is extremely low.  They will not take this gift that is freely given.  The [...]

Long trip yesterday (Thursday 11:00 a.m. till Friday afternoon 5:30 p.m. Japan time). I was truly beat down by the time we got to Tokyo. The Business Class would have sure been nice!
As I was reading this morning, I was called to Psalm 89. Sometimes I feel like David felt (I think). I know God [...]
