Publishing schedule changes…

Skilled Workman Posted on January 15, 2011 by David BergslandJanuary 15, 2011

My study of biblical church organization took on a life of its own and has now become a small book tentatively called “Should the church be organized?” Its release will be pushing back the release of “Godly leadership and power” the verse by verse study of the Timothys and Titus. We are looking at Easter for the new church book and early summer for the TT&T book at this point. “Knowing Jesus as His Bride” is still … Continue reading →

Asking for prayers, please

Skilled Workman Posted on December 5, 2010 by David BergslandDecember 5, 2010

I have been spending a lot of time in prayer, seeking the face of the Lord, trying to follow His lead to write Bible studies and develop materials to make those studies real, helpful, and empowering. As I am working on these things, my heart continuously goes out to people in mainline churches with no spiritual resources—no way to hear the true powerful gospel. The movements of power in the 1960s and 1970s are distant memories. The … Continue reading →

Pulling punches?

Skilled Workman Posted on June 27, 2010 by David BergslandJune 30, 2010

Guilty as charged! Maybe it’s just me, but I rarely find a place where I can really say what I feel. A lot of it is my shyness and timidity on social situations. I can hear the laughing and the “yea, right!”s—but I ask you, “How many of you have seen me in a social situation?” Surely you can see my motivation to teach and write. However, as a writer and teacher, I really need to be … Continue reading →

I need help..

Skilled Workman Posted on May 29, 2010 by David BergslandMay 29, 2010

I have just added two minisites to the Radiqx site. There is a section now on Practical Prophecy without speculation. There is also a new section of the Practical Practice of Walking in the Spirit. They need to be proofed. If you have time to read the pages in the sections and sent me any typos, I would greatly appreciate it. Also, if there is anything you want me to write about, just let me know.

Is the rapture really going to happen?

Skilled Workman Posted on May 13, 2010 by David BergslandMay 13, 2010

  Where does this teaching come from? As you can see to the right, the whole concept is rather recent. There is pre-, post-, and mid-tribulation rapture theories. In fact, there are countless theories. They are all theories Scripture is clear in not stating anything definite. The popular view that all true believers will be caught up into the clouds to be with the Lord is strongly stated in I Thessalonians 4: 13-18. However, this passage states … Continue reading →

New release! Publishing with InDesign CS5

Skilled Workman Posted on April 12, 2010 by David BergslandApril 12, 2010

The book is available through Lulu now—Amazon and the rest are coming soon. This revision includes the new features for CS5 that apply to formatting with styles. Again, most of the revisions are geared toward making InDesign work smoother and more efficiently in your workflow. I’ve been surprised, as always, by how quickly I’ve become addicted to the new version. It’s a really strong upgrade again. New in CS5 Simplified object selection and editingDo almost everything with … Continue reading →

Fiction as ministry…

Skilled Workman Posted on February 3, 2010 by David BergslandFebruary 3, 2010

One of the joys of “retiring” is that I can give some real time to writing fiction. Why fiction? Because I can control the message so much better. I can say things that would not be possible in our modern politically correct society. Instead of talking about the apostate church [which few want to talk about], I can write about a world where a very religious church has taken over political power—persecuting and killing true believers. Instead … Continue reading →

I’ve added a new site: Bergsland Books

Skilled Workman Posted on January 23, 2010 by David BergslandMay 16, 2015

As I get ramped up to submit my new novel to publishers (and enter it in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award), it has become increasingly obvious that I need a separate site for my fiction. So I resurrected my old domain bergsland.org and converted it to Bergsland Books. http://bergsland.org and who knew it would be transformed to The Skilled Workman?  Life is full of surprises. It’s up and running with some simple stuff for Black Sail: a Christian covert … Continue reading →

Merry Christmas! & thoughts on the coming year…

Skilled Workman Posted on December 3, 2009 by David BergslandDecember 6, 2009

it’s been a surprising year. I never would have expected to be forced into going into what the government calls retirement. That has been a huge adjustment. For a man, retirement is close to what housewives experience if circumstances keep them from being able to clean their home. it attacks the core of our being. I have been amazed at how much of my self identity is tied up in what I do. On the other hand, … Continue reading →
