I have posted on the Sabbath and the Law of God a lot recently, as it is been a particular area of my study as of late. But whenever I’m infatuated with any particular study of theology, whether that be the Law, or eschatology, or thematic Biblical Theology, I always come to a point where [...]

My daughter, Hannah Grace, turns 2 years old next week, and she is just now starting to put sentences together as opposed to just fragments of words (a BIG step!). Having already established in her somewhat of an understanding of Jesus, God, prayer, church, singing, preaching, reading the Bible, worship, etc. (it is adorable to [...]

Why do we term our basic understanding of scripture as ‘Covenant Theology’? What is meant by this term? Why do we stress studying the covenants of scripture specifically, rather than just ‘dispensations’ or biblical history in general?
I think the paragraphs below, particularly the last one, aptly demonstrates how biblical history is bound up and structured [...]

“For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. For when Gentiles, [...]

I don’t know what it is, but I can’t stand ‘daily’ bible reading plans that aim to get you through the whole bible in one year. It’s not that there’s anything wrong with them, it’s just that I inevitably get behind, and am left staring at large sections of scripture just to get caught up [...]

There is most certainly a fine balance between abstaining from sin and avoiding situations where temptation may come, in contrast to being ‘in the world but not of the world’ to the extent that our influence on the world is still effective.
And there are always those who will seek to make excuse for their sin [...]

“Although there is not a single passage in the Bible that tells us what Jesus would do on a whole host of personal and social issues of morality, economics, politics, and law, we often hear confident jeremiads and assertions by the same people who express ambiguity (disguised as humility) about matters clearly addressed and treated [...]

It has only been within the last two years or so that I have been introduced to Biblical Theology, and I have quickly come to enjoy it immensely. In my own experience, it has produced a Christ-centered, Gospel-centered view on scripture that has rescued me from many errors.
I have found, however, that few people understand [...]

One month into my bibliography for 2009, and I’ve only read one book on my list! That’s just the way things go, I guess.
But because I am way behind on doing book reviews (they take a lot of time to write), I thought a couple of quick thoughts on this month’s reading will suffice.
