The Texodus
Blogging about what’s on my mind.
I’m a bit of a nomad, having been born in Virginia, grown up in Michigan, gone to college in Ohio, served three churches for 40 years in California and Ohio, and now live in Texas. And while this is my address, I work with an agency that takes me overseas regularly and has me traveling in the U.S. as well. Life has been, and continues to be a journey! Along the way, I experience things that prompt me to reflect and sometimes to write—below are links to some of the results.
And the blog name? It’s a tribute to where I live, the path that brought me here, and the reminder that wherever I am, I am still on the way to my real home.
“Craig Miller is one of those rare individuals who always has something worthwhile to add to the conversation. He’s a careful Bible scholar who teaches the Word so compellingly that you sit up and take notice. He reads broadly and thinks deeply. Craig is a mature follower of Christ whom I count on for solid and biblical advice, thought-provoking challenge, and wise counsel. Plan to bookmark his online work; it’s worth your time.”

Bearing Each Others’ Burdens, Carrying Our Own Loads
A friend’s Bible question prompts a bit deeper examination of a familiar passage.
What David (and the Lord) never said.
When we read David’s psalms of repentance, what lessons should not be drawn?
So much material, so little written…
This new webspace is about to launch, but in a time of great opportunity for comment, there’s been silence. Why is that?
