The Importance of Studying Together
Byhenry October 5, 2025
Church and Sunday School are two different activities. Both can be valuable in one’s Christian life, but they do not substitute for one another. Sunday School has generally been in decline over the last few years, but I think there’s something even more important. Sunday School has too often been a light review of scriptures,…

New Translations in Selection Tool
Byhenry February 1, 2006
I’ve updated my Bible Translation Selection Tool to include some additional, older versions. As I add these versions I want to note a couple of things about this tool. The ratings should be regarded as subjective. I make an effort to use objective standards, but especially on the fine points, it can be difficult to…

Byhenry February 24, 2010
Clayboy asks whether “the Bible alone” is an oxymoron. Now I sympathize with the question, because I have been dealing in another forum (the issue arises in the last 100 messages or so) with someone who seems to think that a text can have meaning with no context at all, or more precisely that the…

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.

I don’t have a problem with discussing difficult or controversial passages, but the church has been living…
