Making the Most of Your Craft Time (Gail Schoonmaker)

By admin | April 30, 2018 | 0

As a Sunday School teacher, I have three goals: 1) to infect my students with an exuberant and contagious love for God, 2) to teach my students to know and love the Bible, and 3) to make church attendance irresistibly exciting. For my preschool-age students, creating weekly Bible-themed crafts helps with at least the second…

Are You Really Taking the Lord’s Supper?

By admin | April 27, 2018 | 0

I joined a “social club” at the Baptist university where I went to college. “Social club” is just private Christian school lingo for fraternity and, like any fraternity, our group had its unique rites and rituals that came as a part of participation in the group. One tradition, taken by some to be the most…

Book Review: How to Understand and Apply the Old Testament

By admin | April 26, 2018 | 0

While there are many introductory books on the Old Testament (OT), there are few which walk both beginning and advanced students together through each step of the exegetical process leading into theology and application. Jason DeRouchie does just that in How to Understand and Apply the Old Testament: Twelve Steps from Exegesis to Theology. The book…

What Is Simplicity and Does it Matter?

By mereagency | April 25, 2018 | 0

What does it mean for God to be unity as opposed to a God who is compounded of parts? Are God’s attributes and essence identical? How are immutability and eternity compromised if we reject simplicity? In this episode, Dr. Matthew Barrett is joined by Dr. James Dolezal to discuss divine simplicity, the attributes of God, the importance of…

I Resigned as Pastor: Personal Reflections and Congregational Encouragements

By admin | April 25, 2018 | 0

In October 2016, I was asked to resign the church I’d pastored for seven years. Though my resignation was the result of theological differences and not any type of moral failure, it was still the most difficult experience of my life. But, as God has promised to do, he’s used this experience for my good…

Captured by God’s Beauty: The Ultimate Remedy to Pornography

By admin | April 20, 2018 | 0

As important as Jesus’ extreme instructions about lust may be, they cannot and should not be taken out of the context of the Bible’s big story line. You can gouge out your eyes and still be enslaved to lust. (Literally. That’s why there are pornographic magazines in Braille.) You can cut off your arm and…

How to Study Theology: Eighteen Specifications

By admin | April 19, 2018 | 0

Everyone is a theologian. This is not to say that everyone is a good theologian. It only means that whenever someone asserts a truth about a topic dealt with in the Bible, they are stating a theological proposition. I assume most reading this article, however, are seeking to be good theologians. How can we study theology in the…

The Violent Showdown: The Exodus in Isaiah (Andrew Wilson)

By admin | April 18, 2018 | 0

Isaiah is a prophet of the Exodus. His rich and beautiful prophecy contains a dramatic exodus triple-whammy, as he promises first rescue from Assyria, then redemption from Babylon, and finally redemption from sin itself, in a fashion that echoes the exodus but turns it completely on its head. Those who know the story of Moses…

The Big Thing Seminary Did Teach Me: I’ll Never Graduate from Learning

By admin | April 17, 2018 | 0

The man who would eventually become my doctoral supervisor, Tom Nettles, taught me three profoundly valuable words for ministry during my first week as a seminary student: “I don’t know.” Those words came in reply to one of my fellow MDiv student’s questions about Baptist history, a topic on which Dr. Nettles has written thousands…

Theophanies

By admin | April 16, 2018 | 0

What is a theophany? The word theophany derives from two Greek words, which mean “God” and “appearing.” A theophany is a special case when God appears to human beings. God appeared in thunder and fire to the people of Israel at Mount Sinai (Ex. 19-20). God appeared to Isaiah in a spectacular vision where Isaiah…
