Psalm 95 and 81: Interrupting Praise with Prophecy?
Byhenry February 18, 2008
A few days ago I blogged about Psalm 95 and how I felt that Matthew Henry had missed the emphasis.

Major on the Clear Stuff
Byhenry October 23, 2014
I get disturbed when I see people around me disturbed by the latest Bible mystery, or obscure interpretation of prophecy. These things sell books, and bring in offerings, but I don’t think they produce better followers of Jesus. I don’t have a problem with discussing difficult or controversial passages, but the church has been living…
