About

Who is Six Pence Song?

I am a Christian, a father, and a patriot.

I am a strongly conservative, traditional, fundamentalist (with a lower case 'f'), Bible believing Christian who values biblical orthodoxy, holiness, temperance, and common sense in faith and life.

I am strongly conservative politically, but no politician or government saves us - only Christ. However,  government and leaders are determined by God and very important.

I am on fire for Christ, and Christ is my All.

I am a retired software engineer in my early sixties. I live a quiet, peaceful, and contemplative life in the Great State of Oklahoma.

I really enjoy biblical studies and languages, as well as linguistics in general (especially the English language and its history) and history of Christianity and other religions. Over time, I have found that studying biblical languages as I prayerfully study the Bible is the best way for me to learn both. I like to study not only the Bible but all the various disciplines that enhance my knowledge of it to deepen my faith and to help me grow in relationship with God and others.

I love to write and teach, and one day hope I will have the opportunity to materially contribute to biblical scholarship in a positive way as well as teach.

I believe that the only reasons God would leave Christians on earth after salvation are to grow and mature in faith and Christlikeness and to be the hands and feet of the Lord, especially in evangelizing the lost and doing compassionate ministry. So, being able to do those things is my primary goal in seminary and in life.

My hobbies are studying the Bible and the many other disciplines which relate to, illuminate, and support that study; writing prose and poetry; listening to music (I am a musician, but no longer play); dining out; weight lifting for health, fitness, endurance, and strength; engaging with others in meaningful dialogue; and taking naps.
