New Ministry

I’ve started a new ministry. On January 15, 2009 I took the position of Pastor at Sunrise Baptist Church in El Paso, TX. The church is located next to Fort Bliss army post. We are located at 4225 Volcanic Ave, off Patriot Highway.

It is a small church with lots of heart but needs a great deal of re-building, prayer and tender loving care. Our mission is to all of El Paso, but has a special love for military personnel and their families.

I’ll continue to add studies to www.Biblestudies-online.com and post on this blog. I will also continue to teach Philosophy online at Ouchita Technical College (online) throughout the summer. The site www.philosophycorner.us will continue to be posted. It will be revised as changes are made (if I teach in college classroom). If I don’t return to teaching philosophy in the classroom, it will probably become more apologetic in it’s structure and content.

Although not complete, you can visit our church website at www.sunrisebaptist-elpaso.org to learn about my new ministry. We plan to have powerpoint sermons available on the site in the future.

Planned future studies to be posted at www.Biblestudies-online.com and open for discussion at this site: Role of Women in the Church; People of Proverbs; Issues on the End Times; A continuation of studies in Ecclesiology (the nature and structure of the Church); others.

Chapter 8: Examination of Universal Passages

Biblical Terms supporting God’s Wrath Postponed: Chapt. 7

We are now coming to the evidence for God’s Wrath Postponed. Chapter seven looks closely at the Biblical terms that are most essential to any discussion regarding the extent of the the Atonement. Atonement, Redemption, Reconciliation, Propitiation must be defined before we will be able to discuss universal passages (Chapter Eight) that use these terms.
