God’s Word: More Precious than Gold and Sweeter than Honey

February 15, 2020 by Tony Miano Leave a Comment

King David, the psalmist, loved God's Word. He likened Scripture to fine gold and sweet honey. In Psalm 19, he uses six terms, descriptions, and effects to make his point. In doing so, David produced one of the most beautiful stanzas ever written about the inerrant, infallible, God-breathed Scriptures. The Text "The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the … [Read more...]

Enoch the Prophet and the Patience of the Wrath-Filled God

August 6, 2018 by Tony Miano Leave a Comment

This article was inspired (for lack of a better word), by a recent sermon that was preached by my pastor--Mike Reid. In the sermon, he touched upon the prophetic nature of the name Enoch gave his son, Methuselah. I learned something that was new to me, but not actually new (it has always been in the Bible). My eyes open wider to the perfect tapestry of God's progressive … [Read more...]

Word Study: “Life” in the Gospel of John

April 2, 2018 by Tony Miano 7 Comments

The word "life" appears 47 times in the ESV translation of the Gospel of John. "Life" is translated from three primary Greek words--"Zoe," "Psuche," and "Bios." One appears in the Gospel of John more than any other. One appears only a few times. And one doesn't appear at all. The Reason for This Study I recently returned home from my second trip to Kenya. God has graciously … [Read more...]

This verse was the foundation for a letter of encouragement I recently wrote to a young man. What follows is not a verbatim reproduction of the letter I wrote to the young man.
