Jim Fleming Seminar

Two weeks ago my wife and I were at a seminar in downtown Houston (almost) conducted by Jim Fleming. The day was very educational and very enjoyable. His title was "The Difficult Sayings of Jesus." A number of Jesus' sayings became much more understandable after they were put into historical and cultural context.

Fleming comes to Houston about this time every year to speak. We try to make it when we're able. We were there two years ago, but missed last year.

He splits his time between Jerusalem and LaGrange, Georgia (an Atlanta suburb maybe?). There, his organization is building a Bible era museum called "Explorations In Antiquity Center." From their brochure and the slides he showed at the seminar, it looks like it would be great to go through.

Both today and last Saturday my wife and I have longed for something like Dr. Flemings presentation to take part in. We hunger to be taught, to be taught truth. Two weeks ago we certainly were.
