Welcome to the Faithful Men website hosted on The Tuinstra’s URL. I (Roger) have had the opportunity to teach adult Sunday School classes and Bible studies for almost 60 years. Before I retired, I seemed to have enough time to post to my blog here quite regularly. For a while, a very short while, I thought I could post once a day like Challies does. But that dream didn’t last a week! Since retiring, I have even less time to write regularly, although I have kept up with my Bible study and teaching responsibilities.

As many of you retired folks can attest, we men often struggle with our goals and purpose in life after retirement. God reminded me of what Paul wrote to the Philippian Christians in Phil. 1:25. Here is my paraphrase: Since God has me still here, I know that I will remain and continue here for the progress and joy of faith in the lives of my brothers and sisters in Christ.

With all of that having been said, I welcome you and invite you to browse around the website. I will write a blog post once in a while, but more importantly, I have provided most of the Bible study notes I have developed over the years. Some of them are ready to use in your teaching or personal study. Some are more like, well…, notes, just jottings and thoughts about various topics. All of the things here are free. Use them in whatever way advances the kingdom the most. I just ask that you not pass them off as your own creation. That would be dishonest. You can just say you’re using them with permission of Thetuinstras.net website. I hope some of the things you find here will be helpful to you.

God Bless!
