I hope the material is, and continues to be, helpful to you and that God might be glorified through these efforts (1 Peter 4:11).

August 1, 2005 was the official launch date for the Plain Bible Teaching website. Six years later, we are now beginning the seventh year of Plain Bible Teaching. Coincidentally, this first post of year number seven is also the 500th post on this site. To all those who have visited the site over the first six years, thank you.

As we begin the seventh year of Plain Bible Teaching, I am adding a new feature to the site — a weekly email newsletter. Each week, the newsletter will contain several items, including the latest content on Plain Bible Teaching, featured articles from the PBT archives, new outlines added to my DIY Sermon Outlines site, helpful links to Bible topics from around the web, religious news stories, and more. To sign up, enter your email address in the sign-up form to the right. The first issue will be delivered to your inbox on Friday.

Welcome to the new and improved Plain Bible Teaching website. If you were wondering why the blog fell silent, this is the reason. I took a couple weeks off from writing articles so I could rebuild the site. I still have some minor changes to make here and there. But I was close enough to being finished that I could go live with the new version.

So what’s new with the site?

If you visited the site before, then you probably first noticed that the layout is different. Previously the main site and the blog had two different layouts. Now they’re the same and hopefully an improvement visually.

The biggest change is that this site is now just a blog. I have combined the main site and the blog into one. This means that I will no longer be operating Plain Bible Teaching as a monthly publication. I still plan on posting about the same amount of content as I was before between the main site and the blog. But now all articles will be posted to the blog and will be posted when they are ready. So if I have an article done, I won’t hold it until the first of the month. I also won’t have to rush to meet a first of the month deadline. Overall, this should make things easier on me and hopefully will result in better content.

All of the articles that were on the old site and blog have been moved over, with the exception of the study section devoted to the topic of human organizations engaging in spiritual works. That material has been moved over to one of my other sites – Truth Magazine Lectures. Since I have switched everything over, each article’s URL is different. So if you had a particular article bookmarked, you’ll have to update the link. You can use the search box in the right column to find it again.

I will be making some more changes along the way. I plan on adding some way to browse for articles by tags. Sometimes the search box is the best way to find something. Sometimes browsing by tags works better. So I’m planning on adding something along those lines soon. There are also a few design tweaks that need to be made.

If you haven’t subscribed yet, you can do that to receive updates when there is new content on the site. You can either subscribe to the RSS feed or by email, whichever you prefer. I plan to start adding content again on July 1st. To help kick off the newly relaunched site, I’m planning on doing 7 posts in 7 days – one new post each day for a week starting July 1st. After that, I’m hoping to have new content posted about 2-3 times a week. If you subscribe, you’ll have the new content automatically sent to you.

So that’s what’s new. I hope you like the new site and find it useful. I’d be happy to hear any comments or suggestions you have.

I had been using Blogger for this blog for over 2 years. Now I’ve switched over to WordPress. As a result, the blog at the old address will no longer be updated. If you have the page bookmarked, please update to the new link.
