The Preacher’s Desk

Like all desks this one is often cluttered and messy… but carefully scan the contents and you will find a host of Bible-related information.

This website will help you in your pursuit of a better understanding of God’s word. Always compare the things shared here with the Sacred Text of God… This preacher does not claim inspiration or infallibility. Be like the Bereans who carefully searched the Scriptures.
