About

This site is designed to provide you with comprehensive studies on Jesus, discipleship, and the basics of the biblical faith. The overall stress is on Jesus of Nazareth, the center of the disciple's life.

In Jesus Christ, God has and is bringing His promises to fruition. The most decisive moment in History has occurred already in his death, resurrection, and exaltation.

My name is David Maas. I have been a student of the Bible since shortly after my conversion in 1971. My goal on this blog is to share with others what I have learned over the decades. Currently, I reside in the city of Gardnerville near Lake Tahoe in the state of Nevada.
