This is a blog of my Bible lesson outlines and thought on God Word. I thought I would share them and hope they might be a blessing to some. It helps me study the Word of God and remember what the Lord has opened to me.

Almost forty years ago, I got saved and God called me to Bible College while I was a Marine. I wanted to study math, after getting out of the Corps. But, I remember kneeling by my bunk one night and feeling God wanted me to learn His Word first, even though I didn't feel I was called to the ministry. If I learned everything else but did not know God and His Word, it wouldn't really matter. I realized that the most important thing I could learn was the Bible.

I attended Pensacola Bible Institute and received a Bachelors of Divinity. Fifteen years later, God granted me the opportunity to receive a Bachelors Degree in Computer Science. While I make a living as a programmer, it is my faith and knowledge of the Word that gives me a reason to live. God has used me as a Sunday School teacher and deacon.

I have been taught the Word of God by pastors and Bible teacher. I have heard sermons from preachers and evangelists. I read the Bible and have do personal Bible studies alone and in groups. I do not profess to be a Bible scholar, but a “workman” , 2 Timothy 2:15. These are not great theological doctrines. Rather things God has shown me from time to time.

No Christmas Without Christ

Luke 2:7, And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. The world today is trying to take Jesus Christ out of Christmas. But without Jesus, there is no season of rejoicing. Christ is the reason for the season. A Holy God becoming a Man is the miracle of the holiday. Jesus is the Savior of this world, but the world rejected Him at His birth and crucified its Lord. John 1:10, 11 & 14, He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. I. No Clothes Jesus was born to die. At His birth, His mother wrapped Him in strips of cloth and laid Him in a manger. At His death, Mary wrapped Him in linen and laid Him in a borrowed tomb. Mark 15:46 & 4...

The Forgotten Man of Christmas

More than likely, when you hear the Christmas story, it might begin in Luke 2 with Mary & Joseph journeying to Bethlehem. Some might start the Christmas story back in Luke 1, with the Annunciation to Mary by the angel Gabriel. But seldom do people start the Christmas story with Zacharias, the father of John the Baptist. The main character of the first chapter of Luke, is Zacharias - not Mary, Elisabeth or John - not even Jesus. Yet he is hardly remembered, which is ironic because Zacharias name means "Remembrance of the Lord". But, I going to write on four things about Zacharias, in Luke, that we should remember about the Forgotten Man of Christmas. I. The Office of Zacharias Luke 1:5, There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abijah: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. Zacharias was a priest. His job was to burn incense, which is connected to prayer in the bible. He...
