I don’t do much scrolling through Facebook. For years I avoided FB because I thought it would be a waste of time. This means when I do take some moments to see what’s happening in the world of social media, there’s a good possibility I will discover interesting and useful information for the first time. I had that experience earlier today when I came across an excellent blog post written by David K. Bernard. I admire our general superintendent and pray for him regularly. I believe God has raised him up to provide the leadership we need in the United Pentecostal Church International.
What I discovered today was a blog titled “David K. Bernard’s Recommended Tools for Studying the Bible.” To access the blog, left click on the following link. (This will bring up another link that includes “David K. Bernard.” Left click on that, and the page will open to allow you to read the entire post.) https://blog.pentecostalpublishing.com/2022/01/24/david-k-bernards-recommended-tools-for-studying-the-bible/
In his blog, Brother Bernard discusses the Apostolic Study Bible, Translations, Introductory Studies, Word Studies, Bible Dictionaries and Encyclopedias, Commentaries and Internet Resources. His recommendations are clear and thoughtful. Many of them would be found as required reading on the graduate level in conservative seminaries.
As I read his comments on the Apostolic Study Bible, I saw my name listed as a contributor to this first study Bible produced exclusively by Oneness Pentecostal scholars. I knew, of course, that I had written the study notes on Psalms, Proverbs, Hebrews, James, I Peter, II Peter and Jude as well as the signature articles on The Holy Spirit and the Gifts of the Spirit. Out of curiosity, I clicked on my name and, to my surprise, three pages opened before me displaying all forty-nine of my products available from the Pentecostal Publishing House. You may view these products by following the same instructions given above. (Click on the link below, then click on the next link that comes up.

I have twenty-one books in print. In addition, there are several digital resources including video and audio recordings on subjects including, but not limited to, “Elohim and the Plural Passages,” “Binding and Loosing: The Authority of the Church,” “The Influence of Hellenistic Philosophy on the Development of Christianity to Chalcedon.”
What’s the thing I didn’t know about myself? The Pentecostal Publishing House offers an audio file of mine titled “History of a Student.” I don’t have a clue what it’s about or when I did it. But you can buy it for $5.00.
If you decide to purchase what is apparently a talk I gave at some time and place, let me know what it’s all about. I hope you enjoy it!
