Offering free bible studies of the epistles

Skilled Workman Posted on by

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 →

The distraction of COVID-19 fear is foolishness

Skilled Workman Posted on by

The distraction of COVID-19 fear is foolishness. I’m not saying that the virus is not dangerous. You should be following the CDC guidelines. But the fear is foolishness. Life in the flesh is a terminal condition. Your flesh is going to die. There have only been two men in history whose flesh did not die: Enoch and Ezekiel. This is nothing new and the death of your flesh is no big deal. Unless, of course, you have … Continue reading →

Knowing Jesus personally in daily living

Skilled Workman Posted on by

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 by

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 by

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 →

A prominent voice nows says Lightning Source is no longer recommended

Skilled Workman Posted on by

  Aaron Shepherd has stopped recommending Lightning Source as necessary for self-publishers. This is a major reversal for a big name in self-publishing. His position is that the days of easy sales are over. New self-publishers really need to watch their costs, because their royalties will be lean unless the Lord or the world blesses [depending on your spiritual position in creation]. I’ll post more in coming days.

How can I be useful to the Body of the Messiah in 2013?

Skilled Workman Posted on by

This is my dilemma. I write and my heart is focused on helping my brothers and sisters in the Lord, but what does Jesus want me to do? It’s been interesting as I have become much more involved socially online. Forums like christianwriters.com have been a joy—as is the interaction with several groups on Linked-In and FaceBook. My book sales continue to grow which is satisfying. I continue to work at my craft—both in the writing and … Continue reading →

Skilled Workman Posted on by

Galatians 6:1 Dear brothers and sisters, if one of you is caught in sin, you who are godly should gently and humbly help restore that person. And watch yourself, that you don’t fall. Here’s the practical instruction alluding to the troubles I’m guessing at. Love and restoration are the solution to bad incidents. This is what we should try to do. The perp’s response is not your problem. All you can do is try gently to help … Continue reading →
