“He [the Spirit of God] will certainly help us to ‘communicate’ the truth of God to other people, but he becomes our enemy the moment we attempt to modify the wisdom of God to fit the ‘cleverness’ of the twentieth century. The stern words of Paul have a peculiar aptness to the modern situation when he says, ‘The foolishness of God is wiser then men.’ (1 Cor. 1:25)”

I am a husband, father, and grandfather. A small, town about fifteen miles west of Pittsburgh is home currently, though several other places have served that purpose before this. I maintain a YouTube channel of Bible teaching videos and a podcast of Bible teaching audio. I like to make things in my woodshop. I like taking photographs and use a lot of them in my blog posts. I go fishing in the local streams and lakes when I can. For thirty-nine years, I served as a pastor of churches in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New York.
