Elijah Came & So Did Christ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of the most important principles of biblical interpretation is that Scripture must teach us how Scripture speaks. We should not begin with modern assumptions about what words like coming, appearing, or seeing must mean and then force those assumptions onto the text. Few examples demonstrate this more clearly than the prophecy concerning the coming of Elijah.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!OLal!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep

My last day, My best day (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As I grow older, I find myself thinking more often about death. Maybe that is simply part of getting older. Maybe it’s because as an over the road truckdriver I see life much like a highway with exit ramps, and accidents that develop suddenly out of nowhere, many ending in fatalities.
