This page reports my work on simplybible.com for the information of those who take a special interest in this work.
Just before the new year, simplybible.com had another birthday. It is now in its 24th year.
In the 1st Quarter of 2026, I prepared 6 new study pages and installed them on the website. This brings the number of study pages on the site to 1,655.
The new pages are all lessons in 1Corinthians...
⚙ New: The cup of Demons
⚙ New: The church of Moses
⚙ New: The Self-denial of Paul
⚙ New: The Dangers of Nothing
⚙ New: Principles of Marriage (1)
⚙ New: Principles of Marriage (2)

One person wrote, "Great work in creating and maintaining the site. It's very easy to read through. God bless".
I try to make the lessons on the website easier to understand when English is not the reader’s first language. This also helps automatic language translation to work well.
In this first quarter of 2026 I used Google Analytics AI (instead of Awstats) to generate information for this report. Awstats has been showing unreasonably overstated figures. So I am switching to Google Analytics even though their stats may be understated.
On March 5th there was a major server upgrade which caused the site to go down for half the day. It turned out that there was a simple error in one of my files which has never bothered the server software before, but caused the new upgraded and stricter software to object. A temporary patch got the site running again and I used Bing Copilot AI to help me make a new clean and correct file, which works fine.
We continued to hold Sunday morning services in our home every Lord’s Day. On one of those occasions a young Christian in the family met with us.
Once again, thank you for your help in the Lord’s work, and your continued interest and prayers. We appreciate your partnership with us in fulfilling the great commission.
Love and best wishes in Jesus,
