Imprecatory Prayers Make Me Cringe

Posted on May 25, 2014May 25, 2014 by Alan

Okay, I’ll admit it. As much as they are biblical, imprecatory prayers make me cringe. I ran into this one today as I continue to read through all 66 in one year: Hear, O our God, for we are despised. Turn back their taunt on their own heads and give them up to be plundered…

Did Jesus Waver at the End?

Posted on May 24, 2014May 24, 2014 by Alan

Interesting thought from the introduction to “Theological Essays” (published in 1867) regarding how Jesus showed a couple moments of “distress of mind”: Panegyrists have described the bravery with which some martyrs have endured their sufferings before the eyes of their admirers. Jesus, who suffered not with a view to human applause, but to human consolation…

Meriam Yehya Ibrahim Ishag

Posted on May 17, 2014May 31, 2014 by Alan

UPDATE: It looks like Meriam will be released?: Sudanese authorities are to free a woman who was sentenced to death for having abandoned the Islamic faith, a foreign ministry official says. Meriam Ibrahim, who gave birth to a daughter in custody, will be freed in a few days, the official told the BBC. Abdullahi Alzareg,…

“For You, You Only, Know the Hearts…”

Posted on May 13, 2014May 15, 2014 by Alan

Ran into this during today’s reading (wise words from Solomon): “…for you, you only, know the hearts of the children of mankind” (2 Ch 6:30, ESV, in part). The “you,” of course, being God. As I’ve often said, including to employees at work, you can comment on what you observe and how it affects you,…

Random Thoughts

Posted on May 10, 2014 by Alan

Random thought #1: It may seem unfair in the Old Testament that the firstborn was afforded extra rights. What better alternative would prevent jockeying for position? Random thought #2: Intellectual honesty requires being able to admit that some questions don’t have definitive answers. Intellectual maturity includes being able to identify those questions.

Are Your Ears Itchy?

Posted on May 2, 2014May 2, 2014 by Alan

What is the saying? A lie can travel halfway around the world before truth gets its shoes on (or something like that)? “How the ‘Jesus’ Wife’ Hoax Fell Apart” (Subtitled “The media loved the 2012 tale from Harvard Divinity School.”) What is the likelihood the truth will get the same press as the lie? The…

I’ve been building up some links-of-interest for a while…and waiting for my flight to Manchester, New Hampshire here in Baltimore, Maryland may give me time to finally post them. 🙂 In newest to oldest order… Case studies in cognitive dissonance: “Methodists OK same-sex benefits for employees” How’s this for a “What does it say about…

Choose Your Train (You Must)

Posted on April 27, 2014April 28, 2014 by Alan

Recently I heard the track “Dark Passenger” by the group Fozzy. It starts off with: Jesus is my co-pilot Or that’s just what they say But it’s not the Savior Who guides me every day Although the lyrics are a bit ambiguous, and it almost sounds like the anti-hero of the song wants to repent,…

Good “Happy Easter” News

Posted on April 20, 2014April 20, 2014 by Alan

Some good "Happy Easter" news: "China on course to become ‘world’s most Christian nation’ within 15 years" And, on this day we celebrate the empty tomb, may we all be as wise as those described by… Officially, the People’s Republic of China is an atheist country but that is changing fast as many of its…

“A Man After My Heart”

Posted on April 14, 2014April 14, 2014 by Alan

During a Sabbath visit to a synagogue in Antioch, the apostle Paul notes of David: And when he had removed [Saul], he raised up David to be their king, of whom he testified and said, ‘I have found in David the son of Jesse a man after my heart, who will do all my will’…

Do You Know What Your Sin Is, Balaam?

Posted on February 23, 2014February 23, 2014 by Alan

As seems so often true, if I really like a television series it only lasts one season (or less). Firefly fits that category perfectly (although I don’t know if I actually watched it while it was first airing). The good news is that it was followed up by a tremendously entertaining movie, Serenity. (If you like…

Doubling Down

Posted on January 20, 2014 by Alan

As I continue this year’s trek through all 66, I ran into the incident where, when asked by Moses to allow the Israelites to go worship in the desert for three days, the Pharaoh wasn’t so inclined. Not only did he say no, he decided to double down: 6 The same day Pharaoh commanded the…

“Evolution Is Most Certainly a Matter of Belief—and so Is Christianity”

Posted on January 16, 2014 by Alan

Albert Mohler once again puts my thoughts into words a lot better than I do, this time with regards to how a belief in macro evolution requires just as much faith as Christianity: "Evolution Is Most Certainly a Matter of Belief—and so Is Christianity" Hopefully to encourage you to read the whole thing, here is…

Normative Versus Descriptive

Posted on January 11, 2014January 11, 2014 by Alan

As I continue my blessed journey through all 66 books in the Bible, I ran into what I thought could be a humorous example of why you want to make sure whether what you are reading is normative or descriptive. What is normative? Per my Mac’s dictionary: normative |ˈnôrmÉ™tiv| adjective formal establishing, relating to, or…
