A Psalm 50 Commentary

I added a commentary on Psalm 50 to my Through the Bible project. It created a need for several other pages, so I may not get back to Through the Bible for a couple weeks.

Thank you to everyone who has prayed for my health. After achieving remission from lymphoma, my second blood cancer, by your prayers and the mercy of God, my blood counts never recovered. Since February I have been clear of cancer, but also mostly clear of a functioning immune system.

The doctors have been trying to keep me well with shots that boost the immune system, but since February I have had at least five emergency room trips with fever.

On Friday, four days ago, my neutrophil count jumped phenomenally. (Neutrophils are the main component of your white blood cells, which are your immune system.) Yesterday (Monday), they were down, but still much higher than they have been since the lymphoma. I would love to have energy and time to devote to teaching, writing, and running my warehouse business—or at least to encouraging the managers who really run it—and I am having a LITTLE hope that my immune system will come back and keep me from living too big a portion of my life in the hospital.

Again, thank you for your prayers in the past. Please offer a prayer to God as it crosses your mind.

Divine Healing and a Psalm Commentary

I finally fought off hospital stays, fatigue, hemorrhoids, and the source of all of those, a low immune system, enough to finish some articles I had started.

Any recent ones you missed will be “What’s New” in the Navbar when you get to the site.

Isaiah and Israel, God’s Servant

I wrote an overview of Isaiah, and I even loaded it up on paulfpavao.com. Then I managed to land myself in the hospital again.

So this is the notification for that page.

The next article is going to be on divine healing. It will be an eminently practical discussion, but it will also be an exposé of my multi-year experience among those who believe God wants to heal everyone every time.

It’s one thing to claim something; it is quite another to produce results.

Isaiah 1:21-23: Widows and Orphans

I have written a lot over the last three or four days. Those articles are starting to come to fruition. Rabbit trails made them long, and I have started separating those rabbit trails into individual articles.

I could give you two more articles today, and then follow tomorrow with two more, I’m sure.

I’m not going to do that. Let’s stick with just my next Isaiah commentary, on 1:21-23, addressing widows, orphans, and how to get what God has for you from a seemingly dry passage.

I’ll leave the other article that is done for tomorrow, and then the other two I’ll spread out over a few days because I don’t think I’ll be writing this weekend. (I have to take some time off for the family.)

Some Beginning Articles on the Church

For some reason, I ended up on the subject of church life on my new site. It took a while to pull all three of these posts together, even though one was once previously written on this blog. That article, Evangelism and Missions is now updated.

I also wrote:

What Is a Church? and Preaching, Teaching, Evangelism, and Pastors.

For those of you that end up wanting to comment back to me, you can email me from the new site, or you can comment here. If you right click on the links, they will open up in a new window or tab so that you leave this page, with its comment form, open.

God, Money, and Mammon

I spent an inordinate amount of time writing today’s article. I’m not sure why it took so long, but I am very happy with the finished product. I hope you are, too, and I hope you are inspired by it to overthrow the power of Mammon in Christian lives.

The article is here: God, Money, and Mammon

I also updated my page that was previously called “Evolution and Fundamentalism.” I have no idea why I thought it was ready to go on my web site. It is now twice as long, though still short, and much easier to understand. I have also changed the title.

Evolution and Slander

Several New Articles/Posts

I have been updating paulfpavao.com as well as trying to write some blogs. That is why it has been so long since my last article or set of articles.

Here’s what’s new:

Correction to Through the Bible Links

Sorry, everyone, for the mistake on the last post. I didn’t put in the links at all. Here’s how it should have read:

I completed my first new Through the Bible post, on Isaiah 1:1-3.
