The Bible Sherpa

So this site is pretty new, and those of you who happen to stop by may be wondering what you can expect to see in the future. So here’s a basic overview of the big plan. Remember, all this stuff is in the works, so be patient as we move toward setting it all up.

The goal of the Bible Sherpa website is to guide you on your expeditions through God’s Word, one book at a time, one chapter at a time. We want to help you get the heart and soul of God’s message in each chapter. It comes down to a daily plan: you read a chapter of the Bible, we help you get what it’s saying. The next day, we hit the next chapter and do it again. 

PART 1: THE BIBLE SHERPA PODCAST  To guide you on your journey, we’re planning to provide a daily podcast with a ten minute intro to the day’s chapter. It’s not a full sermon or anything like that – just a short intro that’s fun and informative to give you the big picture and help you find the heart of God’s message for you that day. Subscribe to the podcast and you’ll get your daily dose automatically. That’ll keep you going on your reading. Once you’ve listened, you can read the chapter on your own, or for more help you can download … 

PART 2: THE DAILY BIBLE GUIDE  We are busy creating pdf Bible Guides that walk you through the chapters of the Bible one at a time. They’re designed to help you understand what you’re reading by giving you background info, pointing out key verses and connecting the chapter you’re reading to the bigger picture in the Bible. Like a good Sherpa, the Bible Guide will make your journey clear by explaining prophecies, pointing out (more…)

Welcome to the Bible Sherpa blog! This is post number one, entered while  just about no one in the world knows I’m here. If you’re here and this is the only post, I must say that you are dreadfully early. How did you get here so fast? Seriously, you’re like one of those people who show up for a dinner party two hours early. The host has to pretend that he doesn’t mind at all as he vacuums around you like you’re a piece of furniture. His poor kid has to keep you entertained while dad cleans the bathrooms and you eat all the appetizers. Thanks a lot!

Okay, just kidding – you’re not really that bad. And as long as you’re here, how do you like my site? I know, there’s not much here yet. In fact, this is about it. So I’ll try to make this one worth your while (then maybe you’ll come back when I have something decent).

I still have to wonder how you got here, though. I haven’t advertised the site yet, which means that you either know me, or you somehow mysteriously decided to search for the words Bible and Sherpa at the same time. What on earth would inspire you to search for Bible Sherpa?!?! On the other hand, you might ask me what on earth would inspire me to make a Bible Sherpa blog. Good point. If you’ll just give me a couple days to get my site in order, I’ll get to that. For now, here you are and here I am, and we’ll just have to make the best of it.  Hmmmm….

Alright, I thought of something to make your stop here worthwhile. (more…)
