Below is a curriculum for parents to add Koine Greek into their child's study routine. While this is designed particularly to be used alongside Cycle 1 of Classical Conversations, it can easily be used by any parent (whether home, private, or public schooling) and requires no previous knowledge of Greek by the parent. But, you …

I started learning Greek last fall. After beginning to learn Latin (and discovering that I enjoyed it!), I opened a book that had been sitting on my shelf from another pastor's library. The book was John Dobson's Learn New Testament Greek, and I was shocked to find myself understanding and reading Greek. I have since …
I have recently begun reading Milton's Paradise Lost, which I previously attempted to read a bit of last summer at the beginning of my journey through the major epic poems. But I rightly say that it was merely an attempt because I found its style to be far too difficult to enjoy. Now after a …
Oklahoma has recently found its way into the headlines by passing a controversial bill requiring public schools to teach the Bible in their curriculum. Since my wife and I homeschool our children, it may seem as though I have no dog in this fight. I am, however, an Oklahoman, meaning that my tax dollars go …

For the last several weeks leading up to tomorrow's solar eclipse, I have repeatedly seen a post on social media that gives evidence for why the eclipse is a warning of God's judgment upon the United States. To be honest, I haven't read the whole post (nor do I care to), and knowing the Internet, …

The following is a guest post written by my wife as she reflects upon her grandmother's battle with Alzheimer's. Scripture memorization is a highly important discipline that often gets overlooked. Especially since nowadays with access to information at our fingertips every second of every day, we have unconsciously outsourced some parts of our memory to …

As is usually the case, most involve a group of nefarious elites pulling strings behind the scenes of world events. Epstein's island, the World Economic Forum, the Great Reset, the Illuminati, chemtrails, flat-earth, and many …
2023 was a fun year. Our third daughter was born in April, and I preached through Hebrews in less than a year. Both have been inexpressible blessings, yet the Lord has used both to set my hip out of joint, leaving me with a metaphorical limp to remember this year’s wrestlings. I do have a …
1. Providence | John Piper Although I began reading this behemoth of a book last year, I completed it this year. But really the content, more than the page-count, demands that this book be read carefully and prayerfully. Piper tackles deep theological matters with the heart and skill of someone seasoned by decades of pastoral …
Given how topsy-turvy is our society’s understanding of marriage and sexuality, I very nearly preached a standalone sermon on Hebrews 13:4: "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous."
