Bible Study Plus: Tools

Welcome to My Website

The purpose of this site is to provide and share some of the materials I have written and produced regarding the Bible and its contents in my 56 years of preaching and teaching. This will take some time, so check back for additional posted tools. If you are using a smart phone, you will need to click on the three layer menu (known as the hamburger and usually located in the upper left hand corner) in order to bring up the major pull down categories. I am a retired pulpit minister and a retired Christian university Assistant Professor (See "Amridge" in menu)
NOTE: All material on this website is FREE.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR and what I believe

KEYS TO BIBLE STUDY: Phillip asked the Ethiopian nobleman, "Do you understand what you are reading?" He responded, "How can I, unless someone guides me?" (Acts 8:30, 31). This website is about providing helpful keys that will open doors of clarity and understanding of God's written word, the Bible. I pray that it will be a profitable journey for you and an honor to God, the author of the Bible. Please feel free to contact me. Below are examples of materials found in the pull down tabs or categories.

"AS A MAN THINKS..."
This material was taught at our fifth annual Young Men's Retreat" in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. The theme was "As A Man Thinks in His Heart So Is He" from Proverbs 23:7. Click on the cover below to download the material.

SOME OF MY FAVORITE STUDIES:
A study on "The Life of Christ" by way off the Book of Matthew." The materials include a study on the background and contextual history of the life of Jesus, an outline of the book of Matthew, and pictures, charts, and illustrations to aid in the study. Click on the cover below for the outline or go to the pull down menu "New Testament" for the outline and charts.
1 & 2 Thessalonians. Click on the cover below for these outlines. The two letters provide details about the Second Coming of Christ. Papers and a Chart on Premillenialism can found under the "Subjects" pull down menu.
I have completed teaching a class on Galatians, and Philippians. Click on the covers below for the outlines and introduction materials or go to the pull down menu tab, "New Testament."

ISLAM: More Material
Christianity or Islam? Which Is True? (See below). I also used Dave Miller's book, DVD, and study material from Apologetics Press plus my Lecture Notes I use for my Amridge University course on Worldviews, which includes Islam. Click on the covers below to download the files. You can purchase Dr. Miller's book and DVD at apologeticspress.org.
NOTE: For additional articles and materials on Islam, go to the pull down menu above and click on "Subjects" and then "Islam."

MEN AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART
This material was used at a Young Men's Retreat. It is a study of David's life and how we can be men who are after God's own heart.

COLOSSIANS:
The booklet below is a study of the letter written to the COLOSSIAN CHURCH. The Colossian Christians were guilty of trying to find truth and spirituality in teachings and lifestyles other than the preeminence of Christ and His written word. Some of the same challenges face us today in our Postmodern world. What is your worldview?

THE COMINGS OF THE LORD:
THIS IS A STUDY THAT REQUIRES TIME AND FOCUS. It includes a study of phrases such as "the coming of the Lord(s)," "the day of the Lord," "the darkening of the moon," "the new heavens and the new earth," and many others.

Portland Church of Christ: Portland, TN

I have had the privilege of preaching and teaching for the Hartsville Pike and Nashville Road Churches of Christ in Gallatin, TN for 21 years each but now retired. These congregations have been a great blessing. My wife and I now live in Portland, TN. and are members of the Portland Church of Christ where Bud Woodall is minister. He is solid in his biblical teaching and powerful in his sermons.

CREDITING SOURCES: An important goal in this effort is to give accurate credit to the many sources I have used over the years to help me teach the Bible and lead others to the truth of God's word. I no longer have some of the earlier resources; however, if you see any material that needs better or proper referencing, please let me know. Much of the materials are my conclusions drawn from years of study. As one preacher said, "I milk many cows, but I churn my own butter."
