a blog of theological reflections
From the monthly archives:
Chapter 24 contains an account of a man who had “blasphemed the Name.” The judgment God declared upon him was stoning! Now, to me, that is a hard passage to reconcile in my mind. In our day, someone who had cursed or blasphemed the name of God would not be stoned to death. In fact, [...]

Chapter 19 starts out listing various laws – it sounds much like the 10 commandments, just more detailed. I found verse nine rather comforting.

He diagnosed sicknesses and healing, he inspected homes for mold, quarantined people and places which were “unclean,” offered sacrifices for many different reasons, etc. He dealt with so many [...]

If you will, there is a pressing prayer need that my family has. My dad, Pete, has been suffering these last several days from severe shoulder (right) and upper back pain. He has been a construction worker for many years and, therefore, is impacted seriously from such an injury at both work and home. [...]

For all the Mark Driscoll readers/listeners out there, christianaudio.com offers his book – Religion Saves: And Nine Other Misconceptions – as the FREE audio download of the month (courtesy of Mark and Crossway Publishers). While I disagree with various (significant) theological positions which Mark holds, he nonetheless is a brother in Christ who is determined [...]

Hey folks,
Just a heads up concerning a great resource that’s now available. A dear friend of ours just finished a commentary on 1 and 2 Corinthians that has been published through SPCK. D and I had the wonderful opportunity to contribute to the resource by working on the study/discussion questions at the end of every [...]
