I imagine many Christians can increase their knowledge of the Minor Prophets. Here’s a survey of the first book of the Minor Prophets: Hosea.
Purpose: We will look at the authorship, purpose, structure and other aspects of the book of Hosea so we would be more familiar with this part of the Bible and yearn to study it for ourselves.

In continuing with our blog’s “wee-kids Wednesdays” this week’s review of a children’s book isn’t a Christian work but still something homeschool kids and parents would appreciate!
Geronimo Stilton. The Secret of the Sphinx. New York, NY: Papercutz, August 18th 2009. 56 pp.
5 out of 5
Purchase: Amazon
This is the second graphic novel in the Geronimo Stilton Graphic Novel series published by Papercutz. I read this after enjoying first volume. Like the first one I read this to my daughters and they totally enjoyed it! How much did they enjoyed it? When I read it to them at night they tell me not to stop! These books tell the story of a mouse Geronimo Stilton and his family and friends going into time in history through a time machine to stop the insidious plot of the Pirate Cats. Besides the adventure long the way young readers will also learn about history. As a parent passionate about history I like that!

This is a Christian Home School Lesson Series for first graders on the 50 United States.
I typically go over two states at a time since we teach our kids multiple subjects during the day and two states at a time seems to be enough. However if one is teaching one subject at a time I think going over four states at a time would be just right.
Our series’ lesson plan will be in alphabetical order and go over four states at a time.
Are there any other interesting facts you would add for any of the states mentioned? Feel free to leave a comment!

Two Christian brothers Tony and Patrick have a show on Christian apologetics. They have been going over Jason Lisle’s book Keeping Faith in the Age of Reason. Lisle’s book looks at alleged Bible contradictions and respond to them.
Now some of you might know our blog responds to alleged Bible contradictions as our long term project to look at them ourselves in the original language and respond exegetically for a few years now. Still it is good to know others have also responded to these internet lists of contradictions (Dr. Lisle, these two believers running the Cave to the Cross show, etc).
Here are some samples of the videos:

Every year there is a big Pastor’s conference where pastors and church leaders who believe in faithful expository preaching and the Biblical Gospel meet in Southern California call the Shepherd’s Conference. It will be on March 5–8.
I have been blessed by the fellowship, preaching and good food in this conference.
This year theme will center around the theme, “Faithful.”
Anyone on here that is going?
Here is the schedule:

An important theme in Presuppositional apologetics is the need to evaluate things from a Christian worldview that is informed by God’s revelation.
I believe something similar to that is also helpful in evaluating what’s going on in the New Testament in light of Old Testament anticipation of prophecies.
In this post we will look at three anticipation of Jesus and the Gospel from the book of Ezekiel.

A weekend leisure reading review…because sometimes Pastors also need a break from heavy theological reading!
James G. Stavridis. Sea Power: The History and Geopolitics of the World’s Oceans. New York, NY: The Penguin Press, June 5th 2018. 384 pp.
5 out of 5
Purchase: Amazon
This is a wonderful and highly informative book on geopolitics. The author James G. Stavridis is an accomplished US Naval Admiral and among his many accomplishment was being the Supreme Allied Commander for NATO towards the end of his career. His perspective is quite insightful and I would say unique! He’s not only looking at this in light of analysis and history but also shares his personal “sea stories” that makes this book all the more interesting.

For today’s post we will tackle the question the Skeptic Annotated Bible asked: Can only God work wonders?
Here are the two answers which the skeptic believes indicate a Bible contradiction:
“To Him who alone does great wonders, For His lovingkindness is everlasting” (Psalm 136:4)
“that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders,” (2 Thessalonians 2:9)
(All Scriptural quotation comes from the New American Standard Bible)
Here’s a closer look at whether or not there is a contradiction:

Had a lot of counseling and things come up this month pastorally while in the midst of working on preparing to teach overseas this Spring in an undisclosed location.
Please pray for my studies and preparation that I can get everything done and done well.

This is the sixth book I read from the “Short Studies in Biblical Theology” series published by Crossway. I have immensely enjoyed the other five volumes that I read from this series and this work is no different. This particular work explores the Lord’s Supper.

Here’s a compilation of thirty one of our blog’s quick devotional with each post on a verse from Paul’s epistles in the Bible. I think they are ideal for daily reading as a project for a month.
I want each to interpret the verse well but also to apply it practically well too.
Here’s the listing:
