ΙΧΘΥΣ, or Pez--both of them are Fish. The sign of the fish was a symbol of early Christians, and continues to this day. On this site, which I resisted beginning, I will place random thoughts--sometimes about Biblical study, sometimes about current events, sometimes about my family. Welcome, as you consider my random thoughts!
The Chicago Cubs just released a new print ad campaign, highlighting the expected contribution of their new Japanese outfielder, Kosuke Fukudome. It says, "I don't need an interpreter. My bat does the talking."
An eBay seller has a T-Shirt based on the "Got milk?" campaign. It simply asks, Got Fukudome? The Cubs have him. I hope he lives up to expectations. Eamus Catuli in 2008!
After Israel's sojourn in Egypt, God gave His law. Within that law, I found these verses:
Do not mistreat an alien or oppress him, for you were aliens in Egypt. Ex 22:21 (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1996, c1984).
Do not oppress an alien; you yourselves know how it feels to be aliens, because you were aliens in Egypt.Ex 23:9 (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1996, c1984).
When an alien lives with you in your land, do not mistreat him. The alien living with you must be treated as one of your native-born. Love him as yourself, for you were aliens in Egypt. I am the Lord your God. Le 19:33-34 (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1996, c1984).
Was Israel to distinguish between documented and undocumented aliens, in deciding how to treat the aliens that lived among them?
I served as a missionary in Chile, South America from 1976-1994, at which time I joined the faculty of Ozark Christian College in Joplin, MO.
During the Spring Semester of 2009, I am teaching the following courses: New Testament Greek (2nd Year), Anthropology, Perspectives on the World Christian Movement, and a weekend seminar class on Educational Technology.
Ι am trying to finish up a Ph.D program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in Educational Studies. My target graduation date is in 2009. The research for the dissertation will explore the effectiveness of the Consortium for Distance Learning in Restoration Movement Bible Colleges.
