This is the foundation of what is believed to be the home of the Apostle Peter's home.-----------------------------
We had our home Bible Study last night at my house. I think we had nine students including some graduates of CAK like Warren Pineda, Dan Prince, and Matt Mueke. (Matt gave us a good memory of his distant relatives being hosts for Corrie Ten Boom.) We studied Greek words found in 1 Thessalonians and Ephesians. Then I went across town and helped out with Billy High's Bible Study and we went over a study in 1 Corinthians. I am finding that there is a real honest-to-goodness desire to learn the Bible and only the Bible. I think the days of celebrity speakers and prose books is on its way out.
And you know? I like it! When people start reaching for God's pure Word, then there is hope for our generation.

I met up with my good college buddy Scott Curtis who now works at Bible Broadcasting Network in Charlotte NC. It has been 25 years! We sat at Cracker Barrel and hotted and hollered about old stuff from campus. What a great time.

HOLINESS OF GOD
Often we forget that God is Holy. The Bible is filled with references to His holiness.
1. Habkk 1:12 - He is everlasting and He is holy.
2. Psalm 60:6 - God speaks in His holiness, from His holy sanctuary (KJV)
3. Job 15:15 - He is so holy, even the heavens are unclean before Him.
WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT THIS?
1. We get tough toward sin like Joseph: Psalm 39:9...he realized that the worst thing was that he would sin AGAINST GOD!
2. We become tender like Ezra: Ezra 9:6...when Ezra the prophet saw his people become rebellious against the Lord, he became astonished and ashamed, and the people were moved by his grieving. May we recognize that above all, God is holy!
