This is a place where I am study God's Word for myself. I am a bit of a historian so also including some research into the culture of the times and people that I come across as I read the Bible will be here too. This is just a way for me to share what I learn with others as well as feel like I am being held accountable for keeping up with my devotions. I am lazy by nature and need that small check and balance.

Philemon 1:11
Onesimus is what we know this fellow as. Yet the play on words here between his name and "unprofitable" or useless makes one wonder if that had just been a nickname. It doesn't matter. What is important is his character. He evidently was quite the trouble maker. Yet something happened when Jesus entered his life. He became worth something. Not just as a follower of Christ, but in the secular sense. He wasn't an annoyance anymore. Just is the outcome when Jesus is in our heart... our character improves.
