Pastor's Blogs

Dear Faith-Family member:

If you are following a Bible reading plan or reading through the Bible regularly, plan or no plan, I've created this blog for you.  By the grace of God, I'm trying to read through the Bible every year.  Lord willing, I will be reading four chapters a day, Monday through Saturday. 

I'll be starting in Genesis and working my way through.  That means that I'll be reading in the Old Testament from January to October.  The New Testament will only take a little over two months of time. 

If you've been around Calvary Bible Church for awhile, you already know I can't promise to explain everything in Scripture in a way that satisfies all our curiosity.  I will try, however, to record brief observations that God is teaching me as I read through His Word.  I will try hard to share some insights into how the Old Testament consistently points to Christ for the purpose of bolstering our faith in Him.  I pray that some of the things I'm learning and attempting to put into practice will help you, too.  It is a joy of mine to study Scripture with you each weekend.

Working with you for your joy (2 Cor. 1:24),

Randal

Dear Pastor:

I created the blog, Preaching With Greater Accuracy, for the purpose of recording brief observations on how a particular preaching portion might be preached in church.  I am especially interested in showing how hermeneutics affects the development of a sermon.  This involves showing how theology can be found in a preaching portion, how that theology is relevant for the Church, and how that theology needs to be Christ-centered. 

I trust that some of my observations are helpful to you in your own quest to represent God well in your pulpit.

Your brother in Christ,

Randal
