As I was working my way through Isaiah 9 and 10, I couldn’t help but notice that the description of the doom that was coming to Israel/Judah was punctuated by the repeated phrase “Despite all this, His anger does not subside, and His hand is ready to strike again.” (Isa 9:12, Isa 9:17, Isa 9:21, […]

Why do we read verses in Olde English, but then discuss, preach, ask questions and give answers in Moderne English? Just wondering. Therefore, should we not also ask according to the manner in which the verse wast given; Verily, should we not likewise answer of the same accord? Can the answer say to the word […] I have to admit I’m more than a little befuddled by the way Isaiah 6 is handled in general. In poking around the web and in my commentaries on this passage, I see several disturbing consistencies: People keep avoiding the main issue They reinterpret Isaiah’s commission to say things it doesn’t say They conclude things […] In the New Testament, there are over 300 direct quotes from the Old Testament (depending on how you count the verses). If you count the allusions and possible allusions, the number jumps even higher: According to Blue Letter Bible, if you count the allusions, there are 799, and if you count possible allusions, there are […] As we try and develop our doctrinal views, somewhere along the line we pick up a notion or two.

Check it out (Isaiah 1). So now […] The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard. Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end […] Paul said that all Scriptures are inspired and profitable for doctrine (teaching people), reproof, correction (correcting yourself and others), instruction in righteousness. With it, a man of God can become perfectly prepared for every good work (2 Tim 3:16-17). Although many of us memorized that verse as kids, many of us did not also memorize […] If logic can be used to explore reality, here are some questions that may be worth kicking around: God is infinite (and we know He is), and He shows infinite love to those who trust in Christ to save them from the wrath of God to come by giving them infinite/eternal heaven (and we know […] 
While hopping around Jordan with Dr. Dave, he brought our attention to “ancient Sodom” (click here for Google map), where we all got out and took a look around. Yes, Sodom as in “Sodom and Gomorrah” from Gen chapters 14 and 19. DSC_3305 Image 1 of 4 Remains of an ancient gate at Sodom […] |
