Welcome to this new blog.

It begins today, May 10, 2008.  It is a blog about the insight which has come my way through fifty years of biblical study and reflection.  It is inspired by a love for God and a love for the Bible

Entries will be about biblical understanding.  The Bible is a treasury of wisdom and revelation.  We will probe that treasury for an understanding of God and his activity on Earth.

We will explore the mission of Jesus, and the message he has given to humanity.  I think that mission and message to be earth-shaking and eternal.  It is also wonderfully good news for us all.

The blog is named Grace and Agape because these two words and the meaning behind them are central to understanding Jesus and his message.  They contain definitive concepts of the New Testament Christian community.

Welcome!  I pray that you enjoy our journey, and are inspired by it.  You will see ideas that are very familiar to you, and you will see some that are strange to your previous thinking.  Do not be quick to dismiss the strange.  They will be biblically based and will deserve your consideration.

Blessings to you.  May the Spirit seize your heart as we journey together.
