This is an update and clarification for the "Reading Outside The Box" episode. The clarification is to clearly state, and not assume, that the audience will understand Jesus Christ as being both fully God and fully human at the same time. While Christ has both fully human and fully divine natures, He is not split up into two persons. Two natures; One Person.

Ideas have implications. Statements in the Bible have implications as well. In this episode, Hebrews 1:3 is examined alongside Luke 2:8-9 (as well as references to Ezekiel 10). Christ is said to be the radiance of the glory of God. On the night of His birth, shepherds encountered the glory of the Lord. Was Christ specially present to the shepherds as the glory of the Lord while, as a fully human baby, He laid in a manger in near...

This episode examines John 17:23. It is taken from Christ's High Priestly prayer on the night before His death. In this verse, we discover something staggering. The Lord is praying for those who would come to believe in Him. If we are believers, that's us, now. He prays that the outside world would perceive that the love which God the Father has for His Son is the same love He has for us.

This episode examines how we seek spiritual comfort in the midst of sleepless nights. It is even reflected in our online searches. Spiritual counsel is given for looking to re-align our worried thoughts with a godly perspective. Psalms 121 and 139 can be of particular comfort. The episode closes with a prayer for those seeking the peace of Christ in dark nights.

This episode looks at getting back to basics as a believer in Christ. An example of the need for this is explored in two ways. The first is looking at the example of the 20th century golfer Jack Nicklaus, perhaps the best golfer of his era. He would annually visit his first golf instructor to ask him to "Teach me how to play golf." The second is found in the Lord Jesus' letter to the church in Ephesus (Revelation 2:1-7)...

This episode looks at two different types of "Great Commission" found in the Bible. The first is found in Genesis 1:28 when Adam and Eve are instructed to be fruitful and multiply and fill the Earth. The second, found in Matthew 28:19-20, along with texts from Acts 1 and Luke 24 instruct Christ's followers to fill the Earth with followers of Christ. Both commissions involved those being sent as receiving the blessing of...

This episode examines the critical need for us to remember Jesus Christ. Passages from Deuteronomy 8 and 2 Timothy 2 are used to point out how important this is. Some (hopefully) practical ways of doing this are discussed.

This episode examines how the Bible, which contains the God-breathed words of God, contains some unusual texts which point to the power of God's Word as the Living Word.

This episode links together Psalm 119:105 with Revelation 21:23 to point out that the Word of God, both in print (the Bible) and living (Christ) provide light for our journey in life. This video is based on my very first YouTube released in December 2018

This episode looks at an interesting, alternate reading of Isaiah 9:6. Based on the Greek Septuagint translation, the One predicted is referred to as The Angel of Great Counsel. Within the episode, there is a discussion of the history of the Septuagint and a possible explanation for why this wording was chosen. An angel can also be a messenger. Christ, who is clearly not a created angel, has been seen as the Messenger of Gr...

This episode looks at how the New Testament addresses the humbling and exalting of Jesus Christ. It's even seen in how the New Testament writers address Him. We are also reminded that, for followers of Christ, we too, are following a pattern of humbling in this life, and await a glorified exaltation with Christ, in the next.

This episode centers on readings from "The Great Rest Giver" by William Haig Miller. It was published in London about 1891. Walt found a print version of the book in a large Detroit bookstore. The theme centers on Matthew 11:28-30 in which Christ speaks of true, Christ-given rest.

The Christmas season is often a time for nostalgia and looking back to our past holiday experiences. Some are wonderful to remember. Some can be painful. Can we remember the future as well as the past at Christmas time? As we remember the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ just over 2000 years ago, we find that old Christmas carols point us forward in time to the return of Christ. In our memories of Christmas past, we have memories ...

This episode looks at the Lord Jesus' declaration "I am the Light of The World" in John 8:12. It examines how this declaration, made by Christ at the Feast of Booths fulfills the type of the pillar of fire by night and pillar of cloud by day as found in the book of Exodus.

This episode examines the priorities in prayer of the Apostle Paul as found in his New Testament letters. While praying for earthly needs, we should also pray with eternal perspectives in mind. We use a brief review of Ephesians 1:16-17 as a sample lesson in praying with Paul's priorities. My observations were derived from a book by Dr. D.A. Carson"A Call To Spiritual Reformation; Priorities From Paul And His Prayers" Thumbna...

This episode explores John 17:24 and further explores what Christian theologians have called the Beatific Vision. This is the sight of Christ in glory by His people. 2 Corinthians 3:18 and 1 John 3:2 are also introduced as they give us the sense that beholding Christ in glory doesn't start in the next life but begins here. To begin beholding the glory of the Lord here and now gives us "a running start" to prepare for this in eterni...

Two verses from Psalm 119 point to a supernatural, spiritual light from the Bible. Verse 130 is examined in detail using a technique from the 17th century British minister Thomas Manton. We will learn to take in Scripture (by reading or listening), meditate/reflect on it and offer these up in prayer for others and ourselves.

This episode looks at the prophecy of a Moses-like prophet (The Prophet) who would emerge in Israel's history and how the Lord Jesus Christ fulfills being THE King, THE Priest and THE Prophet. There is also an examination of two main factors for why Christ was not recognized in His time and also not recognized in ours today...spiritual blindness and misinformed expectations. Scripture texts used are Deuteronomy 18:14-15, Jo...
