Job 12:7 “But ask the animals, and they will teach you,    or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you.” Here Job is responding to the intellectual conceit of his friends, but this verse and those following express an important … Continue reading

Knowledge; August 29, 2025


Jeremiah 33:3 “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” This is an absolutely amazing offer from our omniscient Creator. Expressed a little differently, He’s saying, “You want to know something … Continue reading

Advice; July 22, 2025

Proverbs 16:20 Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers, and blessed is he who trusts in the Lord. What jumped out at me from this, comparing the English and the Japanese, is that where the NIV says “instruction,” the Japanese says, … Continue reading
