Writing gives me the privilege of teaching the Bible, which I feel I was created to do.

The pages and the passages of the Bible provide enough material for a lifetime of writing. The challenge for me is to express biblical teaching in ways which make the meaning of the Scripture passage easy to grasp but still display the power of the original text. My greatest sense of satisfaction comes when I believe my writing has encouraged my readers from the Scriptures and has given them a new or deeper understanding of the Bible.

Dramatically converted to Christ at age 31, I spent three years as a missionary in Russia, married a widow (my beautiful wife Lisa) with three children when I was a 46-year-old bachelor, obtained a seminary degree when I was in my late-40's, and have taught the Bible countless times, either one-on-one or in front of a group.

Most of my writing now ends up on my blog site, www.roysreflections.com, or in a book that I am hoping to publish soon.
