Ephesians 5:21-33: A Short Lesson in Focus

Byhenry June 17, 2007

It often amazes me to notice the difference in what I get from the scriptures when I approach a book or a passage simply asking what message God has for me in that passage as opposed to when I search out various passages of scripture in order to answer a particular theological question. That second…

Gender Accurate Translation and Interpretation

Byhenry January 12, 2007

Wayne Leman has an exceptional post on women and Bible translation.

That’s because there are more men than women involved in translation. I’m in full agreement with what Wayne says in…
