Thought For The Week

Being Right – Does it matter?

Imagine with me a cool but sunny day in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. You have been working alongside your brother Wilbur for a number of years on a major project. Finally in 1903 all of your training, practice, experience, and trials come to a head as you attempt to get your flying machine into the air. You start the engine

Understanding Extra-Biblical Theology Writings in Light of Scripture

God has given us one inspired book, the Bible, containing everything He chose to reveal in writing of Himself, His eternal purposes and His will for our lives in time and eternity. Over the past ca. 1,925 years, however, people have written countless thousands of non-inspired documents and books of practice and theology (“the study of God”) which millions of

Not a Conspiracy

We hear many conspiracy theories these days. Some of them may be true. Some are completely outlandish, even laughable. Most are in the political realm. But a few are on important subjects. About twenty years ago, Dan Brown (and some others) made a lot of money promoting the claim that there was a conspiracy to supress the apocryphal books of

The Church as a Book Club

Imagine that you have joined a book club that meets weekly. For the first month, readings are drawn and discussions based on Shakespeare’s first folio of Macbeth published in 1623. The next month, readings are shared from the first edition of ‘Gray’s Anatomy’ published in London by John W. Parker and Son (1858) with discussion following. In month three attention

APOLOGETICS FOR EVERYBODY

Chad Ramsey (Published Gospel Advocate, February 2012) The term apologetics refers to the reasoned defense offered by an individual in support of his beliefs or actions. Derived from the Greek apologia, the word pictures one who is presenting his case before a court of law. This is how the apostle Paul used the term in 2 Timothy 4:16 when he

Of Godhead and Gender

In 1980 Francis Shaeffer and J. P. Moreland published a book entitled “He Is There and He Is Not Silent”. The title of that work suggested something profound about the existence of God and his self-disclosure. There are of course, many things about God and his ways that he has chosen not to reveal. But God has not been silent

GODLY TEACHERS

James 3 James has provided us with one of the Bible’s great chapters about the blessings the human tongue can give and the troubles it can inflict. While it is often profitably studied as a general presentation of the nature of the tongue, it is meant for teachers. He points this out in the first verse, “Let not many of

Overcoming Temptation (James 1:12-18)

Introductory context and structure: James the brother of Jesus wrote what is probably the most ‘Jewish’ book in the New Testament. In structure and in it’s treatment of subject matter, it sounds rabbinic. While the book was addressed to the church at large, the church at that time was mainly Jewish. It had been scattered by the persecution that arose

A Well-Tempered Faith

James 1:2-4 “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.” (ESV) Sometimes I am tempted to say, “Brother James, you must be kidding!” The Merriam-Webster

The Letter of Jacob: Restoring His God-Inspired Name

How did the letter of Jacob come to be known as the letter of James when Jacob (Ἰάκωβος) is the author’s name in the Greek New Testament inspired by God? What are we missing by this change that occurred many centuries after God inspired him to write this powerful letter? What are some of the benefits of restoring title of

The Heaven’s Declare the Glory of God – Part 2

“Living Clay” Psalm 19:7-14 In our first article we observed that It was obvious to David, that God had made the world. He knew it – because of what he saw in creation, and he knew it because of what he read in God’s word. Psalm 19 spends equal time talking about these two ways that God speaks and through

An Appetite for Life

Several months ago, our family was watching the Disney movie “Tangled”, which is the Disney retelling of the classic Rapunzel fairy tale. As we were watching, a peculiar parallel to a Biblical story jumped out at me — a parallel that I had not expected to find in a fairy tale. In the Biblical story of the Exodus, God provides
