Welcome to My Home

Hi, this is my online home, and I want you to feel welcome. My wife and I live in the Dallas area and also spend some time in Colorado. Summers are usually occupied with reading, hiking, exploring new trails, and woodworking. The rest of the year is mostly taken up with research, writing, speaking at conferences, and teaching Bible at First Baptist Church of Dallas.

Having lived for 16 years in Israel and having led dozens of tours to Israel, the Bible has come alive for my wife, Kathy, and me. Consequently, we share a passion for learning and teaching the riches of God’s Word.

By clicking on the following link or the tab above, you can access articles and papers I have written. I welcome questions and dialogue about the topics I’ve addressed.

By February, Wipf & Stock Publishers should be releasing a new book I have written: The Undercover Messiah and His Coming  Kingdom: Messiah as Prophet, Priest, and King. In it, I trace the messianic offices of Prophet, Priest, and King through the Bible for the purpose of gaining a better understanding, not only of Jesus’ ministry in the New Testament, but also of His coming Kingdom. If you want a better understanding of Jesus, the Hero of the Bible and a greater perspective on what the Lord is doing in our lives now, this is essential reading. Dr. Mark Yarbrough, president of Dallas Theological Seminary, has graciously written the Foreword.

A sequel may soon be in the works, that deals with the central role of Israel in the plan of God. I am also working on material for a book on the history of Jewish believers in Jesus from the 1^st Century to the present. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to let me know.

Acutely aware of my need for prayer support, I would be honored if you would sign up for updates and include these projects in your prayers. I can’t wait to hear from you.
