Here are a few good posts I read this week.
Old Testament
Rightly Dividing the Red Sea
I probably would have skipped right over this post if this week’s lesson in a class I’m taking hadn’t been on the Israelites crossing the Red Sea. I’m not sure I buy everything in it, but it did help me see that the Red Sea story fits a historical pattern and also draws a picture of the deliverance that will later come through Christ.
New Testament
Context Matters: Jesus Came to Give Abundant Life
What exactly is the abundant life Jesus came to give?
Theology
Why Church Members Must Be Theologians
“Local churches define God’s character to the watching world and display His character in their lives together (Eph 3:10). So good theology isn’t a matter of having our i’s dotted and t’s crossed – it’s a matter of life and death. Good theology, for the church member, is how we tell the truth about God and how we dwell together in a way that honors the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Why does an omniscient God test people?
A excellent answer to a common question.
