February 2016 Wrap Up

vjom / Dollar Photo Club Bible Reading:

February’s Bible reading schedule took me through (in whole or in part) Luke, John, and Acts. And of course I’m still studying Revelation in Bible Study Fellowship.

Books Read:

I completed the reading of seven books in February, three fiction (including The God Hater by Bill Myers), three non-fiction (including Writing in the Margins byLisa Nichols Hickman), and one short book of classic poetry.

It’s one of the novels I want to highlight in this update...

The Inspire Bible from Tyndale: A Review

Ever since I first heard about the Inspire Bible in December 2015, I have been eager to get my copy, and I was absolutely delighted when Tyndale House sent me oneso I could review it on my blog and my Facebook page.

All of you Bible art journalers and potential Bible art journalers, this Bible was worth the wait. It is beautiful.

I was sent the imitation leather version. It is so pretty (even sparkles in the light) and it feels good to hold. I respond to things that are visually lovely and a...

Ask the Author: Join Me for a Live Facebook Video Chat

Oleksiy Mark Marima / Dollar Photo Club

On Thursday of this week, I decided to take the new (at least to me) live video Facebook app for a test drive. It was done hastily without a lot of advance notice to those who follow me on Facebook. Still, it was a lot of fun, and I managed to answer quite a few questions from the 112 viewers who dropped in live.

When the live video is over, it is archived and posted to my Facebook page where it will remain for viewers to see later. Downside for not s...

What is Bible Art Journaling?

This morning, I had an email in my Inbox from a reader who wanted to know what a journaling Bible is. After answering the email, I thought perhapsI should blog a bit more about it.

Bible Pondering: Who’s in Control?

I have always felt a great affection for Simon Peter. Who doesn’t love a guy who jumps out of a boat without a second thought at the call of his Master?

I know I’m going to love getting to meet Peterin eternity and listen to him tell even more stories about Jesus than what would fit into the Bible (or into all of the books in the world, according to John 21:25).

This morning, as I was reading John 13:5-9, about Jesus washing the feet of His disciples, I was struck again by Peter’s ardent, pas...

Bible Pondering: Truth and Freedom

Sergey Nivens / DollarPhotoClub

Something God showed me many years ago (and of which I have been reminded during this year’s BSF study of Revelation) is that Satan cannot create anything. He can only twist and pervert that which God has already made.

This, I believe, is why the world so often lifts a verse from the Bible and then tweaks it just a little and takes it for its own. It still sounds true, and before Christians know it, if we aren’t careful, we find ourselves repeating the words a...
