Welcome. These essays follow the people, events, and questions found in Scripture—and the threads that hold the story together.
Each essay stands on its own. Begin with a subject that catches your attention and follow it back to the biblical account. You can pull up a chair wherever you like.
Across these pages, generations come and go. People trust God, argue with Him, defend their excuses, or finally lay them down. Their circumstances change, but His purpose holds.
I want you to see those connections while staying close enough to the people to recognize something of yourself.
These essays accompany my forthcoming book, What God Says Through the Ages. They also explore the understanding of Scripture I call The System of Divine Contrast. Its foundation is explained in its own article. Here, we follow the stories and the questions they bring into view.
Keep your Bible nearby. Read the passages for yourself. Follow what happened, consider what I have written, and check whether the meaning holds up against Scripture.

Thank you for spending some time here. Welcome to the journey.
“Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure.” —Isaiah 46:9–10
