Grace to Sinners
appeared today in the Twin Falls Times News Christ calls the sinner. “Sinner, come.” Though you have nothing or no one to recommend you; for Christ’s sake, come. There are many people around you. Look at them. Are you part of a local fellowship of believers? Look at them again. Many, if not most of…
Theology and the Funeral Service
Where I live, today is a big day. In the common human experience of life, all will die. The funeral service exposes theology of the person, the preacher, and the more. I do not embrace Mormon doctrine as orthodox in any way and hold that the Mormon religion is a cult. This does not diminish…

Read the Bible in 2018
Download the 2018 ESBC Bible Reading Plan HERE: It’s like this every December isn’t it? Right after this blessed season of Christmas, the birth of a new year is upon us, Lord willing. We’ll say things like, “Can you believe the new year is upon us?”, and “What happened to last year?” As the years…
Cautions and Advantages of Reading the Bible with a Schedule
I have been working on making a few adjustments to Robert Murray M’Cheyne’s original Bible reading plan. His longer explanations for why he wanted his church to read the bible is among the best reasons I’ve ever read.
