Empower Bible reading by asking the author for help

Skilled Workman Posted on April 2, 2020 by David BergslandApril 2, 2020

Empower Bible reading with the help of the author. There is a major difference between reading the Bible and asking the Lord to show you what He wants you to learn today. The Bible amazes me. But, an author guided read transforms my life—every day. The author of the book matters much more than the book itself Fortunately, the Bible’s author lives within you. If you haven’t tried it yet, ask the Holy Spirit [or Jesus] to … Continue reading →

Peace relax mitigations working better than 1918

Skilled Workman Posted on April 1, 2020 by David BergslandApril 1, 2020

Peace relax mitigations working better than 1918. I received a post from Grady’s Fire in my bones blog today. As you can see from the graphic he used, to the left, we tried many of the same things in 1918. I know it’s different times—no air travel then, we had no antibiotics to use until WWII, no anti-virals, and many more things. BUT, with 103,000,000 people in that day and 675,000 killed, that’s .5% killed. If we have … Continue reading →

Offering free bible studies of the epistles

Skilled Workman Posted on March 31, 2020 by David BergslandMarch 31, 2020

Offering free bible studies of the epistles which are now available for you—as we shelter in place under government orders. My prayer is that they will bless you and give you hope. I’ve always taught scripture verse-by-verse, since 1974. My students have found that it really helps to go over everything in context. I’ve advertised them as bible study free for alls. Everyone is encouraged to bring their own version. The room used provides copies of bibles in … Continue reading →

Knowing Jesus personally in daily living

Skilled Workman Posted on March 24, 2020 by David BergslandJuly 16, 2020

Knowing Jesus personally in daily living is required to get into the Kingdom of God. That’s easy to prove Biblically. It’s hard to find in the church today. It’s not that pastors and teachers are against the idea. It’s simply not taught because it’s so basic. OR, it’s so personal that they’re embarrassed to share in public. But it’s so pervasive that you really can’t go to any church today and ask, “What’s the Lord done in … Continue reading →

Personal intimacy with Yeshua changes everything

Skilled Workman Posted on March 5, 2020 by David BergslandJuly 16, 2020

For me, the most important thing I’ve ever learned is that personal intimacy with Yeshua changes everything. Currently, most of the church ignores this simple fact. To my horror, even churches preaching the gospel about the blood and the cross, focusing on new converts and leading them to the Lord, often don’t mention this from the pulpit. All of their services are evangelistic. As far as I can tell, the pastors and teachers who know this don’t … Continue reading →

By retaining comprehensive Godly focus we’re fruitful

Skilled Workman Posted on September 8, 2019 by David BergslandSeptember 8, 2019

Because His imminent return grows closer, retaining comprehensive Godly focus becomes even more important. In our Western civilization, the pressures to lose our sense of reality have become nearly overwhelming. You need to work on that. After 45+ years of walking with Jesus, I still need to work on it often. Reality?! What’s that? Here I may lose several of you. If you have not realized yet that scripture is literally true, you need to talk with … Continue reading →

New Review: Writing In InDesign: A Philosophy for Writers In Service to Readers

Skilled Workman Posted on July 20, 2012 by David BergslandJuly 20, 2012

Today we have a guest post from a man who is a reader of my work who has become a friend. A while back he told me he was going to write a review. I had no idea he would put so much effort into the attempt. I asked if I could share this and he said to do it. Pastor Dean Williams has been a pastor for over 30 years serving in “a multitude of denominational … Continue reading →

It’s all about love. Agape Love Galatians 5: 13 & 14

Skilled Workman Posted on May 14, 2012 by David BergslandMay 14, 2012

Verse 5:13 My dear family, you were called to freedom; however, do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. Here we start getting into the area that has caused so much confusion in the church for the past decades, centuries, and millennia. If we are free from the law, why do we bother to obey its precepts at all? Paul acknowledges that we are free, but we must … Continue reading →

Jesus attacked religious legalists – hard and often

Skilled Workman Posted on February 3, 2012 by David BergslandMarch 23, 2020

Jesus attacked religious legalists vigorously. He saw them as one of his main enemies. Today I want to talk about what Jesus said when he was invited to dinner one night. He was talking about his host and his friends. “But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe…herbs, and pass by justice and the love of God. …Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like graves which are not seen, and the men who walk … Continue reading →

Bible translations remove “Father” and “Son” from Bibles

Skilled Workman Posted on February 2, 2012 by David BergslandFebruary 2, 2012

From the Christian Telegraph 2/1/2012  http://www.christiantelegraph.com/issue15329.html In the midst of the Great Apostasy, I suppose this shouldn’t be too surprising. But it is to me anyway. Father and Son removed from Bible translations to avoid offence Three major Christian organisations in America have removed the words “Father” and “Son” from many of their Bible translations for fear of offending the Muslim community, it has been claimed, reports Christian Concern for our Nation. Wycliffe Bible Translators, the Summer Institute … Continue reading →
