    About this ebook

    "Dust On The Bible" is a layman's view and opinion of Bible topics. These essays are formed around what I have read and learned throughout my life, with a good application of common sense.

    There are no great, earth shattering theological discussions or debates to be found here. No declarations of a new religion or some unknown truth that I discovered. No call to arms to tear down our current established religious hierarchy. There is no attempt to start a new religion or cult.These essays on the Bible are just that, essays on the Word of God written by a somewhat, and sometimes, educated person.

    Hopefully these short essays they will at least make you think for a little while. Something I have written may touch a nerve, good or bad. Maybe you will like what I say, maybe you will not. Either way, God bless you for being you.

    No matter what, it is all about the conversation. God talking to us, us talking to God, and us talking with each other.

    I am a former Marine and a graduate of the University of South Carolina. I have travelled extensively during my life but now make my home once again in rural South Carolina. I write because it's my release. Writing helps me to clear my mind, to wipe away the cobwebs. I have found that by writing I can turn my daydreams into something tangible, something others and myself can read.

      What Does The Bible Say About Fate / Destiny?

      Jan 1, 2021

      This is a very complex issue, and we will start with what the Bible does not teach. Fate is usually thought of as a predetermined course of events beyond human control. A typical response to a belief in fate is resignation—if we can’t change destiny,

      Caught in the Storm: Jonah and Jesus

      Our lives have storms. Whether they be personal, financial, emotional, spiritual, or of any other category, our lives have storms. Some just seem to occur, some are brought on by others, and some, if not most, are of our own creation. Our lives have storms. The way we face them tells a lot about our Christian character.

      Two men of the Bible faced literal storms in their lives. These two stories, of Jonah and Jesus, are probably the best known stories of storms at sea in recorded history. There are similarities and differences between these two stories. In some aspects Jonah is displayed as a type of Christ while Jesus is displayed as the true Christ.

      Jonah’s storm was of his own creation. It was brought about by his willing disobedience to God: But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord (Jonah 1:3a). What was he fleeing from? Oddly enough, he was fleeing from God’s commands to call sinners to repentance: arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come before me (Jonah 1:2). If Jonah would have had his way then the souls in Nineveh would have not heard God’s call to repentance, at least not from Jonah.

      Jesus’ storm was also of His own creation simply because He is God. Yet the storm of Jesus was not about punishment but about testing, testing the faith of his disciples. Why test them? The twelve disciples had been witnesses to the physical, mental, and spiritual healing power of Christ. They had heard His sermons and discourses. They had answered His call to follow Him. All had been going pretty well. How would they react when it was not?

      There is one striking
