To Love God: Studies in the Scriptures

I am a Christian. The goal of my life is to be hopelessly in love with God.
This is less about my feelings than it is about my understanding, admiration, thanksgiving, devotion, and sacrifice.
I fall deeper in love with God as I see Him revealed in the Scriptures and obey His will.

This area of my web site is where I publish the Bible studies and writings I've done. Many of them are in an intermediate and evolving state. Few are polished and completed. Almost all are substantial and meaty. Periodically, I update one or another. I am always working on new ones. -- Stephen
