  • On Men and Women: Considering Mosaic Law

    On Men and Women: Considering Mosaic Law

    We have now seen manhood and womanhood from Genesis 1-3. The principles we saw in the narrative drive the distinctions we see between men and women in the remainder of Scripture. The most basic truth we have received is that men are the direct picture of God in relationship to His creation. Women are the…

    On Men and Women: The Blessing of Genesis 3

    After people are created, they live in a luxurious garden (the literal translation of Garden of Eden). It is a paradise, but people sin against God. I am not going into all the details of the text, here, because we have a specific focal point–Biblical manhood and womanhood. There is much to be said about…

  • Gethsemane

    Gethsemane

    After having the Passover meal and clarifying the true meaning of the cup, Jesus goes with His disciples to Gethsemane. Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to His disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of…

  • The Eucharist According to Matthew

    The Eucharist According to Matthew

    It is the eve of Christ’s betrayal into the hands of Israel’s chief priests and elders. From the beginning of His public preaching ministry, Jesus has been teaching that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. At the end of Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus declares that the kingdom is here. Since Matthew is the most Jewish…

  • Is Anything too Difficult for God?

    Is Anything too Difficult for God?

    In Scripture, God is one who does miracles. I want to take a moment and talk about those miracles. There are many people who get very mystic when they talk about miracles, but I do not believe that the Bible in any way promotes a mystical belief system. Further, there are people who wish to…

  • On Losing Faith

    On Losing Faith

    God has just destroyed Sodom, whether by miracle or providence. Lot, Abraham’s nephew, has escaped to Zoar. Abraham has witnessed Sodom’s destruction after talking with Jesus about sparing the city. With the absence of anyone righteous, Jesus justly destroys the city. Abraham’s heart and mind were filled with compassion. Jesus did something that seemed mean…

  • Daily Devotional- Ephesians 6:1-9

    Daily Devotional- Ephesians 6:1-9

    If the husband and wife are the picture of Christ and His church, where does that leave children? Paul answers. Children are to obey their parents in the Lord. He quotes form Exodus 20 and adds a general promise—that it may be well with you and that you may live long on the earth. There…

  • Daily Devotional- Ephesians 5:22-33

    Daily Devotional- Ephesians 5:22-33

    Paul instructs saintly wives. Wives are to be subject to their own husbands as to the Lord. He explains what he means and why. According to the created order, the husband is the head of the wife like Christ is the head of the church. Christ is the savior of the church body, so the…

  • Daily Devotional: Exodus 17:1-7

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 17:1-7

    Moses strikes the rock and Horeb, and water springs forth. This could be miraculous, or as has been normative for God with Israel, He could have revealed the location of a hidden spring that was covered by a rock. There is a split rock in Horeb today, and many people want to claim that it…

  • Daily Devotional: Exodus 16:22-36

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 16:22-36

    God kept the manna from appearing on the sabbath day. Even though they had enough, some Israelites go out to gather more on the sabbath day despite God’s instruction for them to rest. Before the Law is even given, the people refuse to keep God’s instructions. God has given the people the sabbath and provided…
