I became a Christian shortly before I turned 17. For some reason, in all God’s omniscience, he placed me in an Independent, Fundamentalist, King James Only, Baptist church. The next few posts will be memoirs regarding what I learned those few years as an Independent Baptist. It will concern not only my experiences and their [...]

- Greek Devotions?
The ESV Blog posted on Duncan Forbes’ new way of doing devotions: he uses his Greek New Testament. He is currently blogging about this idea and I must admit, I am very much drawn to it. I think When I come to a break in my devotion plan, I am going to do this. I [...]
