I think this is the most disorganized and ill-prepared I have been for international travel. Your prayers for my family who are holding down the USA home front, for my travel and for my classes would be greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to my disorganized travel, I had a major set back on my PhD. One of the principle sources for chapter 5 was Andreas K\u00f6stenberger&#8217;s commentary on John written in 2004. Until October of 2017, this was considered one of the best evangelical commentaries on John. Very unfortunately late last year K\u00f6stenberger announced &#8220;that there are some unacknowledged similarities between my John commentary &#8230; and DA Carson&#8217;s Pillar commentary&#8221; (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblicalfoundations.org\/letter-dr-kostenberger\">K\u00f6stenberger&#8217;s Statement<\/a>). In short, K\u00f6stenberger plagiarized Carson and his commentary is marked &#8220;out of print&#8221; by the publisher. What all of this means for me is that I cannot have K\u00f6stenberger as a principle source and have to start over on chapter 5. This has been discouraging and demotivating. Pray for my attitude and motivation.<\/p>\n<p>Grace &amp; Peace &#8212; Paul<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-726 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cox-net.com\/prayer_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2018\/05\/RPC_Airport-500x330.jpg\" alt=\"Paul at Airport\" width=\"500\" height=\"330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cox-net.com\/prayer_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/RPC_Airport-500x330.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.cox-net.com\/prayer_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/RPC_Airport-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cox-net.com\/prayer_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/RPC_Airport-768x507.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cox-net.com\/prayer_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/RPC_Airport.jpg 1250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a quick trip to visit friends and supporters in New Mexico, I am on my way to Kenya to teach three classes: Apologetics, New Testament Biblical Theology and Elements of Greek.
