Exodus 34 – Praying through the Bible #34 – A Prayer for a Second Chance Again

| February 28, 2013

Everyone deserves a 2nd chance, a 22nd chance, and even a 222nd chance; until God decides no more. God not only is the giver of grace, He is the only one qualified to decide when the last chance is. No human sinner is authorized to arbitrate the end of grace because we don’t know how […]

Historical Presuppositions

| February 28, 2013

Historical Presuppositions – When reading secular history, we sometimes think that facts are facts with no colorization. But history is more than names, numbers and dates. I got reminded of this in reading “Events that Changed the World.” You can learn a lot just by reading the table of contents. It concludes with Barack Obama […]

Exodus 33:7-23 – Praying through the Bible #37 – A Prayer of Closeness

| February 26, 2013

My imagination is not vivid enough to paint the picture of Exodus 33. That might be why this scene has always been intriguing. I wish I could hide with Moses. But if I focus on seeing what was seen, I will miss seeing what is really there. It begins with an amazing proclamation of fellowship. […]

The births and childhoods of the cousins John and Jesus are told in remarkably similar fashion by Luke, and ultimately by the Holy Spirit. The question as it often is, is why? A1 – Gabriel Predicts John’s Birth (1.5-24); A2 – Gabriel Predicts Jesus’ Birth (1.26-38) B1 – Zechariah’s Response (1.18-24); B2 – Mary’s Response […]

Exodus 32:1-35 – Praying through the Bible #36 – A Prayer of a Peacemaker

| February 25, 2013

“Blessed are the peacemakers for they are like the Son of God.” Not an exact quote, but fitting since brokering peace can cost us personally. It did for Jesus; will it for Moses? Geographically, we are at Mt. Sinai, the place of the Ten Commandments and the Golden Calf. Israel is worshiping Yahweh (Ex 32.5-6a); […]

Blameless (3.10) in Character – honorable (3.8); not greedy (3.8) Blameless (3.10) in Behavior – not hypocritical (3.8); not addicted to wine (3.8) Blameless (3.10) in Family – husbands of one wife, managing their children and their own households competently (3.12) Blameless (3.10) in Doctrine – hold the mystery of the faith with a clear […]

Theism versus Atheism – Creating God Through Evolution

| February 23, 2013

If given enough time, which is the panacea for all evolutionary, non-theist positions, a non-life form can evolve into a simple life form, which can form into a higher form including a thinking, powerful human being…then given enough time what would keep the non-theist evolutionist from admitting that a thinking human can become omniscient given […]

Perryism – Nowadays they don’t stone the prophets, they just fire the preachers.

Perryism – Grace is “unlawful” which is why it is grace.
