One by one, I have been exploring the history and archaeology of the Island of Patmos and the famous Seven Cities of Asia also known as the Seven Churches of the Book of Revelation. These are the congregations represented in Revelation chapter one as lampstands, among which the Son of Man walks. At last I can offer you satellite views of each one, along with close-ups, detailed plans, good descriptions, and the best links on the Web for each of the Seven Cities of the Apocalypse. This is all part of "Bible Atlas from Space," the long-term project to provide excellent satellite views of every biblical site. This should be required reading if you are studying the Apocalypse. Take a look. More>>
Jesus warned that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is an unforgivable sin. But what is it, and could anyone today commit it? Should we just accept uncritically the claims of self-appointed prophets, tongues-speakers, and faith healers to avoid this sin? More>>
Have you ever wondered whether you were an unwanted guest at a big holiday meal? It makes you very uncomfortable when you feel so out of place. At the Lord's table, you can cast away such a concern, because your Host's great gift is so reassuring. More>>
When archaeologists excavating in the ancient harbor of Alexandria, Egypt, discovered what appeared to be a soothsayer's bowl, they were intrigued by the inscription which they translated "through Christ the magician." We examine the evidence and compare this find with another extrabiblical reference to Jesus as an exorcist. Are the archaeologists right, or are they trying to conjure up some headlines for their excavation? More>> You can now access many commentaries on each book of the Bible, including in-depth commentaries. I have recently added links to 11 upper-level commentaries for the Old Testament--identified by "(Hebrew)"--and 35 for the New Testament--identified by "(Greek)". All of these will help you to "go deeper" in your study of the Holy Scriptures. More>>

Despite remaining unmentioned in the New Testament, Sepphoris was the showplace of Herod Antipas and his capital for Galilee. It lay only four miles from Nazareth. Archaeologists from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have just uncovered a pagan temple there, measuring 24 m. x 12 m. Although the deity or deities to which it was dedicated are still unknown, later Sepphoris coins indicate the city hosted a temple to Zeus and Tyche. This discovery reinforces earlier conclusions that Sepphoris (OT Zippori) was mainly pagan at the time of Jesus. Excavations at Sepphoris by several institutions have been ongoing since 1983. More>>
If you only had an elevator ride to share the good news of Jesus with someone, what would you say? Or maybe your curiosity about Christianity only goes that far; you'll allow yourself about two minutes to hear what it's all about. You might be asking, "What's in it for me?" Take a look at a contemporary "elevator speech" about Christ and His message, then "go deeper" by studying some nearly 2,000 years old. More>>
Since we all have trouble controlling our tongue, we would do well to listen to the man acclaimed as "Wisest in the World" as he counsels us about our speech. I've included also are many practical principles for how to tame the tongue. More>>
Lying in in a body cast in a semi-private room makes you think. "I ought to be dead," you say to yourself. "A fall of 100 feet--wow!" My life was spared, that much is obvious. But spared for what? And why? Skilled physicians can mend broken bones, but the deeper, spiritual injuries remain untreated from an earlier fall, a fall from grace. More>>
A golden crown of oak leaves newly discovered at Aigai, the ancient capital of Macedonia, illustrates the "crown of righteousness" the Apostle Paul describes and the "crown of life" in the Book of Revelation. The vital question we must ask is, Who will wear this crown, and why? More>>
Talk about Judgment Day and most people wince. But Jesus pictured it as a time of joy. What made the difference? The quality of the relationship between the Lord and his servants. Listen to Jesus explain how faithful servants anticipate His return. More>> Thanks to Google Books I have been able to expand greatly my linked resources to help you do an in-depth study of biblical teaching about Jesus Christ, including messianic prophecies, his divine and human natures, the virgin birth, his teachings, miracles, trial, death, resurrection, ascension, present mediatorial work, and his return. Why not "go deeper"? Disclaimer: Though I try to find good resources, I can't give a carte blanche endorsement to everything in the linked books. You must exercise your own discretion. More>>
The term "communion" to describe the Lord's Supper comes from 1 Corinthians 10:16-17, in which Paul says the bread and the wine are a "communion" (or "participation," or "sharing," or "fellowship") in the body and blood of the Lord. If we truly are sharing with the Lord in this memorial meal, what does that sharing do to our relationship to each other? Should you partake as if you were all alone, communing with the Lord as an isolated individual? More>>
Going to church has often been compared to attending a football game. But a better analogy would be to make church services the gridiron's huddles. What you do there determines whether you win the game, but the huddle is not the game. Let's take a closer look at the huddles of four teams. Which understands how to use their allotted 40 seconds to win the game? More>>
The new Andrew Adamson film continues the "Chronicles" adventures in a spectacular way. It yanks us from our chairs into Narnia much as the heroes themselves are summoned by an irresistible blowing of a magical battle horn. This time the four Pevensie children don't find Narnia--Narnia finds them, and not in a spare room of their boarding house, but in the unlikeliest of places: a railway station. Narnia needs their help, now that their Golden Age of being kings and queens is over--over so long ago, in fact, that they have almost been forgotten. They are summoned to help a prince reclaim his rightful throne, and they need all the help they can get. But will their friends be help enough? Will Aslan return to set all right? Like the original children's story, "Prince Caspian" forces us to look deep within ourselves. Can we find the courage, do we have the loyalty, is our faith strong enough for the desperate battle ahead? More >>
During a discussion of the Bible, have you ever heard anyone complain, "You're taking that verse out of context"? What is context and how can a contextual analysis help us understand a biblical passage? Would you like a demonstration? More>> New ebook: Was Jesus really unemotional and Stoic in his encounters with human beings as the paintings by El Greco and other master artists would lead us to believe? Or did He experience the full range of emotions the rest of us struggle with? In-depth analysis. MORE>> For centuries, people have been intrigued about the meaning of 666 and the famous "Mark of the Beast." But that puzzle is only a distraction from the main, and much more important, message of Revelation 13:16-18. The real issue is... MORE>>
Have you ever attended a free concert? At its conclusion, or as you walk out in the middle, you might have reminded yourself, "You get what you pay for." But have you ever been to a concert where you sat among the musicians? This one was full of surprises, with the most astounding of them coming after the last musical flourish.

Arriving at the empty tomb of Jesus early Sunday morning, Peter and John found the cloth covering Jesus' face neatly folded. Does this refer to an ancient rule of table etiquette as many e-mails argue? If the answer is no, what significance does it really have? More>>
When 67-year-old Rob Napier walked off the 12:18 from Paddington, he left behind on the luggage rack above his seat a valuable Goffriller violin. What is valuable in your life that you are in danger of losing through inattention or neglect? More>>
