The New Parables: Revelation 22: 18-19
http://thenewparables.blogspot.com/2009/10/revelation-22-18-19.html
Saturday, October 17, 2009. Because of The Bible in Rhyme, in the past week I have been called an apostate and miraculous. But the "apostate" label really bothered me, because that's not a word I think you throw around lightly. Why was this title was thrown my way? Because of Revelation 22:18-19. But here's the catch. In order for us to read any book of the Bible, the translator has to change the words around. There are words in the ancient Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew that don't perfectly translat...If we...

The New Parables: June 2008
http://thenewparables.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 10, 2008. A Response to the 3 Year Plan. My last post was originally for a guest post at http:/ thoughtsofresurrection.wordpress.com/. A question was asked after the post went up:. I really enjoyed your article on making a three year plan. Do you have a template or any type of tool to help with making a three year plan? What an excellent question! I guess I ought to come up with a solution, not just a suggestion! Maybe something like this:. Write down your job. Write down your talents.

The New Parables: June 2009
http://thenewparables.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 25, 2009. I'm amazed. About 24 hours ago we posted the link so that people can download The Bible in Rhyme, and I've already had more than 75 downloads! I've had people download it from across the U.S., South America, and Asia already. Thanks for all the thoughts and comments. You guys are amazing! It's awesome to see the spiritual power that this is causing just by making it available. I hope that people feel God speaking to them in new and powerful ways as they read it. God bless you all!

The New Parables: January 2008
http://thenewparables.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 31, 2008. A volcano is often noted for its massive explosions and its hot, destructive lava flows. But a volcano is just a small exposed area where we humans can see a tiny percentage of the huge amount of magma below our feet. And its destructive nature pales in comparison to its role in providing the land that we walk on and the formation of new islands and lands. If only we would open our eyes. Monday, January 28, 2008. The Big Boy and the Toddler. My son looked up at him with huge e...

The New Parables: May 2008
http://thenewparables.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 20, 2008. Praying for a Better Prayer Life. I fall short in my prayer life. My wife says the same, as do a lot of my friends. Despite the fact that we are called to be in prayer constantly, it is a struggle setting aside time to speak to and listen to God. I feel like a poor example of a good prayer life. But I have a great mentor. 8221; And he wants to make sure we say the right prayer, the one he is familiar with:. Christ tells us that we must be like little children when we come to him, a...

http://thenewparables.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 29, 2007. The Burning of the Money. Two men were out drinking one night. The first man said to his friend, "Watch this." He placed a five dollar bill over a candle and burned the money up. His friend replied. "Well watch this." He took a ten dollar bill out and lit it on fire. The first man took all of the money out of his wallet and burned it. Then the second man did the same thing. Friday, December 28, 2007. To the third runner she said, "The Lord is with you on this day. It is a...

The New Parables: The Bible in Rhyme is on The Index of Perversions!
http://thenewparables.blogspot.com/2009/11/bible-in-rhyme-is-on-index-of.html
Tuesday, November 17, 2009. The Bible in Rhyme is on The Index of Perversions! I haven't posted a blog in two weeks. I've been so busy, and haven't even had time to give TBIR, my blog, or my website the time it deserves. But today was a busy day. It snowed. So that was fun to share with my boys. The first snow is always pretty cool (as is the LAST snow of the year! I had a great review from an excellent blog: http:/ tara sviewonbooks.blogspot.com/2009/11/bible-in-rhyme.html. When it comes to religion, we...

The New Parables: April 2008
http://thenewparables.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 8, 2008. It is with great humility and an obnoxiously loud "Rock Chalk Jayhawk! That Kyle Holt accepts the championship of the Methodist Bloggers bracket challenge. I had a lot riding on the line. Well, not a lot. I mean, just this award. Don't I get any money for this? Holt asked into a Playskool microphone he set up on his couch to conduct a press conference. The press conference was attended by only Holt's two year old son who was crying and asking for his microphone back.

The New Parables: Making Rain
http://thenewparables.blogspot.com/2009/10/making-rain.html
Wednesday, October 21, 2009. I was talking to some of the sales staff at our company today, and one said, "Do you want me to help with the admin stuff? I'm happy to do it, but.". If you help, you're not selling," I finished. "Sales people need to go out there and make rain. The rest of the staff is here to help you harvest it, but YOU have to make rain. So no, I do not want you to handle the admin piece.". I'm committing to using my tongue, my talents, and my time to better reach those who need God and t...
