Warning! Don’t Read That Revelation Book!

September 21, 2020

When we were getting ready to translate the book of Revelation, we were studying the book and getting very excited about working through it. However, our Lusi mother tongue helpers didn’t have the same reaction. They told us like this. “The religion we used to be in forbade us from reading that book. They said, […]

I’ve been a bit gunshy since my last post. I shared all about my trip into the bush to help put on a little preventative clinic for a village; since most of you who read here regularly know I work in the medical clinic this shouldn’t surprise you. However, the rest of the world is […]

How shall they believe?

September 28, 2015

A few years ago I needed a new Bible. It took me a few weeks to choose one because of the extensive list of options available. Which translation did I want? King James? English Standard? New American Standard? Do I want cross-references in text? Do I want the words of Christ printed in red letters, […]

Writing is such a blast …

June 4, 2015

A crack of thunder punctuated the patter of rain on the roof. I walked from my office to our conference room to look out on the darkened afternoon. I watched the wind whip rain, leaves and small branches through the air. Now and then, lightning blazed and thunder roared. It seemed fitting to observe the […]
