BIBLE NOTES

I'm hoping to do something different for the new year. As I take notes for my own personal Bible study, I thought I'd just share them on the blog more or less as they come to me. They won't be sermons or lectures. They may not always be right. There may be more questions than answers. But, I promise you, they will always be one man's efforts to understand God's Word.



Amie & Evan came up with the "dc!" logo. It's based on my email signature. When you see it at the top of a blog entry, you'll know that what follows represents things I've jotted down on my way through the Bible. Right now, I'm reading the Gospel of John for what seems like the very first time. I say that because I just keep finding things in it that I didn't realize were there. It's truly an amazing book.

I hope you'll join me. The nice thing about this electronic media thing is that we can all be together without having to squeeze into the Claiborne living room. You're welcome to comment, offer corrections, share your own views. The Bible can be very simple and yet very difficult. When you hear someone say, "Jesus loves you," well, it doesn't get more simple than that. But, if you're wondering how many gallons of water Jesus turned into wine, or what the connections are between 1John and John, it's always nice to have someone else offer suggestions, or to lend a hand in figuring things out.
