TRACES OF CREATION
Bible Study Chat Transcripts

Over the past couple years, I gave a series of Bible studies in a then-popular internet chatroom on Friday evenings. The theme of the series was "Traces of Creation," showing that even the contemporary principles of Christian life date back to the very first book of the Bible. The audience for these studies was drawn from many different forms of Christianity, so I endeavored therefore to make the subjects and their delivery as general as possible without diluting the impact of the call to true holiness.

Perhaps the readers of my site can benefit from these works as well, and so I present them here. Originally they were listed by the dates on which they were actually given, however readers may benefit more from the current arrangement of chapters based on general topics.
