The Bible Sherpa

Hello faithful Bible Sherpa readers! This note is a quick apology for my temporary leave of absence. Sometimes other things in life take precedence over a blog. I know – it’s hard to believe, but it’s true. So here’s an update on what’s going on with me that has taken all of my focus of late:

1) I am now the senior pastor at Calvary Chapel Bay St. Louis. How exciting is that?! Sunday morning May 10th I preached my first message as the church’s pastor. I am so thankful to serve God with such amazing people in the midst of an awesome work of God’s love and power. Seriously, I love my church. Pastor Frank Griffin served faithfully with great integrity and sincere love over the past few years, and I am honored to take the baton and run the next leg of this awesome race. Thanks to all of you for caring and thanks for praying for me! If you ever find yourself in South Mississippi, come and enjoy some good old fashion southern hospitality at one of the friendliest churches you’ll find anywhere.

2) I just sent in my very first book proposal to a publishing house. Yes, it was the same week as the pastoral change. It’s been a busy week! The book is called, “Why Did God Make Life So Frustrating?” It’s about learning to trust God for His plans when yours don’t work out. In other words, it’s the theology behind Murphy’s Law. The book proposal was a pretty big undertaking, so I decided to take a break from the blog and focus my writing time on that. Now that the proposal is in, you should start to see some blog-posts on the topic of frustration pretty soon. As for the proposal itself, it is in the hands of the publisher now. Again thanks for praying for me!

3) I am still working on the chapter by chapter Bible Guides, and the podcast as well. Those are the main focus of the Bible Sherpa website, so stay tuned. The first guide that will be coming to you is Ezra. I keep you up to date as we get closer.

I guess that’s all the updates for now. I hope and pray that this finds you all well. I read all your comments so keep them coming. Your next real blog-post will be coming very soon. You’ll get the rest of the Love Lie countdown on the way, but first I want to introduce a new topic. See you soon (well, sort of).

Always in the unfailing love of Christ, 

 - Pastor Kris  ( =
