The Great Commission is our Mission.
The last time I wrote about computers, I was happy to have found and fixed a serious problem with my Toshiba computer. I expressed high hopes that it would provide long and reliable service. Those hopes were disappointed as the Toshiba computer froze up a couple more times, one of which cost me about an …
Read More Toshiba Lemon Retired–Long Live the MacBook!The saga of the Toshiba Satellite P35 notebook computer woes continues, but this time I have high hopes that things have turned around such that we will get our money’s worth of work out of this machine, yet. Its warranty has expired. It was working OK most of the time, at least running Ubuntu Linux, …
Read More Loose-brained ToshibaFor though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh; for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds,throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into …
Read More The Battle of the MindYou may think you have freedom of speech, just because you live in the United States of America. I have news for you. There are people elsewhere who have more freedom of speech. There are also many who have much less freedom of speech. I know of a man who was just yesterday arrested by …
Read More Freedom of SpeechI still remember when I first found out about the World-Wide Web and HTML-based web browsers. I had know about the Internet, text-based email, ftp, and Usenet, but this was a new thing, still highly experimental. By that time, the Lord had already directed me to start work on the World English Bible for free …

I could have continued uploading more pictures and captions in the same place and style as we did at http://ebible.org/Johnson/gallery/, but the people who wrote the programs behind Flickr.com have already solved some problems of making a useful web-based photo gallery fairly …
Read More Sharing Photos OnlineOver the recent holidays, I spent some extra time in prayer about what the Lord wants us to do. I came away with some clear direction to start off this new year with. Our plans have changed. What is amazing is the way the Lord is opening doors. It is too soon to give all …
Read More Faith, Family, and FlexibilityI watched way too much TV when I was a child. Now, I don’t watch much, but during Christmas vacation time, I watched some. While visiting my parents, I took advantage of their satellite TV subscription and watched The Discovery Channel and The National Geographic Channel a while. One thing that struck me about National …

His life and teachings were documented very well, and many people saw and heard how He lived among us. He spent much of His time in public, openly proclaiming …
Read More Transparency vs. PrivacyLast year at this time, I was in Manila, staying at a guest house with a precious 10-month-old baby girl, waiting for the legally-required 5 days to pass before I could fly her home to meet the rest of her new family. A couple of years earlier, my wife asked me to pray about applying …
Read More Miracle Tale of a Christmas BabyI find comfort in the moral absolutes in the Holy Bible. I really do. I like to know what is right and what is wrong. The Ten Commandments are pretty clear to me. So is the Law of Love proclaimed by Jesus Christ. If you search the Scriptures (as I did) on modesty and clothing …
