New Testament Verses
I may be the only one who will be helped by this post, but I have found myself any number of times wishing that I had a listing of how many verses are in a particular chapter of the Bible. I decided that I would quit wishing and just do it. With the help of a Bible App on my iPod, I have gone through the 260 chapters of the New Testament and listed how many verses are in each of those chapters. Maybe someone else will get some use out of this venture as well.

Self-Condemned
I have a copy of Class Notes on Romans, written by the late Roy H. Lanier, Sr. On the front cover of that book is this amazing poem of praise for God’s Word. Please read it and think about the VALUE of the Bible, and please be sure not to stand Self-Condemned…
- The Bible is a message of instruction; a message of warning; and it is a message of hope.
- All men everywhere should rejoice at hearing and understanding that message.
- It is a light to our feet, a chart for the traveler, and a compass for the sailor.
- It is food for the soul, balm for the aching heart, and medicine for the sick.
- It is a sword for the soldier, seed for the sower, and a girdle for the weary.
- It comforts the sorrowing, encourages the faint, and gives hope to the discouraged.
- It rebukes the ungodly, reproves the negligent, and corrects the wanderer.
- It is to be studied in life, cherished in death, and answered in the judgment.
- Let us rejoice in every opportunity we have to read it, appreciate every explanation we hear of it, and put into practice every lesson we learn from it.
- To obey it is to build on the Rock eternal.
- To disobey it is to build on the shifting sand.
- To neglect to learn it is to stand self-condemned.
My First Sermon at Maple Hill
Title: Is the Sword Dependable?
Place: Maple Hill in Benton, KY

I have now set up a page, (SERMONS), on which will be listed links to sermons preached at Maple Hill. The first one listed will be the first sermon I preached at Maple Hill on the 7th of August 2011 (i.e., FIRST as the regular preacher). You can click to listen H-E-R-E.
What is a Pericope?
I was looking around in some files on my computer and found one that contained the phrase: “Pericopes in Mark” in the title. This is a word that non-Bible-scholars might have difficulty recognizing. Since I wanted to post the file that I found because I thought it would be useful to those who might be studying the Book of Mark, I thought I might first search around to see if I could find a good definition of PERICOPE. I think Adam Thomas did a pretty good job with the word in a rather humorous way…
Biblical scholars have an especially silly sounding word they use for “passage from the Bible.” It is pericope, and if you type this into Microsoft Word, Bill Gates will try to change the word into periscope, because (apparently) the latter is much more frequently used. ‘Pericope’ may look like a three-syllable word (like periscope without the ‘s’), but it has four syllables and rhymes with calliope.* If you are at a Bible study and drop the word ‘pericope’ your companions will probably stare at you and wonder how you got your hands on the Anchor Bible Commentary.
Pericopes are important because they define the amount of text you are going to study. The word is a mash-up of two Greek words meaning “to cut around,” so when you pick a pericope you are figuring out how much text you want to swallow at one go. If you pick too little, you may be in danger of ignoring the context of the bit you pericopized.** If you pick too much, getting your head around it all may be a difficult task.
If you want to impress someone, you will surely want to learn how to pronounce PERICOPE. That can be accomplished by clicking H-E-R-E.
The file that I found is a listing of all of the pericopes of the New Testament Book of Mark as seen in the New King James Bible. These are especially helpful because they also include references to parallel accounts in the other three accounts of the life of Christ. If you are studying the Book of Mark, this file should be a big help. You can find it by clicking H-E-R-E.
