New Book

5/23/2026

 
Picture
The Tabernacle must have been very important to God. Creation is described in only two chapters (Genesis, Chapters 1 and 2). Yet, the construction and operation of the Tabernacle is described in at least fifty chapters! The Tabernacle and later the Temple were "holy places made with hands" (Hebrews 9:24). They were physical examples (or models) "of heavenly things" (Hebrews 8:5), teaching us many spiritual lessons. 

​Printed copies of this book will be available in the God's Acres Bookstore during the June 2026 camp meeting.

Bible Study Methods

5/1/2026

I think Strong's is the most accurate place to start with its numerical reference to the Hebrew and Greek words. For a more expansive reference, I use several different reference materials. One of the most valuable I have found is Strong's Expanded Dictionary of Bible Words including Vine's Complete Expository Dictionary. For the New Testament, I use Thayer's Greek Lexicon of the New Testament, among others.

Devotion - 2 Kings 15:21

4/30/2026

 
Picture
King David was on the run. His son Absalom had declared himself king and had turned the hearts of the people against David. To protect the people of Jerusalem, David and his household fled the city.  As David watched his servants march past him, he noticed at the end of the procession "six hundred men ... from Gath" (a Philistine city). They were led by their commander, Ittai. Years earlier, while David was fleeing from King Saul, these men had joined him.

To answer this question requires the consideration of other underlying questions. The first one is, What necessitated the development of the King James Bible? Contrary to what some may think, it was not the lack of an English Bible but due to the fact that there were several English versions in use. In England, the Church of England was the established state church, and the king was its head, even as he is today. ​

Devotion - Jeremiah 51:27

2/20/2026

 
Picture
William Harvey Carney, a former slave, joined the Union Army during the Civil War. During the fierce Battle of Fort Wagner, the color guard fell, leaving the regiment's flag in danger of being lost. Carney seized the colors and pressed forward. Though wounded multiple times, he carried the flag proudly until he returned to his own lines, saying, "Boys, I only did my duty; the old flag never touched the ground!"

Devotion - Philippians 4:11

1/12/2026

 
Picture
We live in a culture that constantly tells us, "You will not be happy until you have more." Yet, the Apostle Paul had a much different outlook. While under house arrest and chained to a Roman soldier twenty-four hours a day, he wrote he was content. This was something Paul had to learn.

​Just as learning to walk, tying your shoes, or memorizing the multiplication tables took practice, so does learning to be content—being satisfied with what you have.
