Belief vs. Believe Part 2 2008-08-14 10:54:01 This is the follow up to Belief v. Believe where I discussed the difference between a belief in God and believing God. I apologize for the post in between, but I couldn’t resist tossing a little Kudos to the ESV and the ESV Bible Blog for acknowledging my post on Bible Translations.
So, how do [...]
Kudos to the ESV and the ESV Bible Blog 2008-08-13 14:07:40 In my post, So Many Translations, So Little Time, I made reference to my recent purchase and study of the English Standard Version (ESV), which I highly recommend (even more highly now). For those of you familiar with my sense of humor, I jokingly included the following remarks:
Now, if only the ESV’s publisher would [...]
Belief vs. Believe 2008-07-28 16:42:25 Without trying to define or redefine faith, I do think it is imperative that Christians appreciate at least one distinction in the whole discussion of faith: the distinction between belief in God and believing God.
It seems that too many of us get caught up in whether someone believes in God. And, if that someone [...]
Sharing in Spiritual AND Material Things 2008-07-28 13:57:38 As many of you may know, I also write guest posts for Eved of Hashem, the blog of Gilal Burgos, a Messianic Sephardi Jew from New York. Gil is the founder of the Lion of Judah Fellowship (LOJF) which ministers in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Florida.
I recently published Sharing

So Many Translations, So Little Time… 2008-07-24 21:51:52 As you may know, the Hebrew language and the ancient Hebrew alphabet in particular are the subject of many of my posts. I do not pretend to be an expert in Bible translation, so I try to avoid making critical distinctions between the numerous Bible translations on the market. However, one question does [...]
Guest Post on Eved of HaShem 2008-07-17 11:52:12 I was honored to have recently been invited to write a guest post for the blog Eved of HaShem. My post was entitled Restoring the Tents of Jacob, and I invite my readers to check it out. It is not typical of my writing, but it is a brief account of our recent [...] Read more:Guest
To Which Well Are We Drawn? 2008-06-04 15:53:58 My wife, my mother and I were returning from a trip to Dallas a couple of weeks ago, and we began discussing John 4. The question was posed, “Why do we still thirst?” It’s clear from the text of John 4 that if we drink of the water provided by Christ, we will [...]
The Believer’s Journey 2008-04-23 20:45:00 While the experience of each person who comes to faith in Jesus Christ is unique, I have observed a few characteristics that appear to be common to most, if not all. This, in itself, should come as no surprise, but what might be is where else this pattern is found.
Birth: This one is obvious, [...] Read more:Journey
The Word Became Flesh 2008-03-21 15:41:00 “And the word became flesh…” John 1:14.
I have spent a good deal of time lately meditating on this scripture. I had no intention of writing on this yet, it just didn’t seem to have that Easter feel. When I think of Easter I think of the Passover, the crucifixion, and, of course, the resurrection. [...]
The Lesson of Nicodemus Continued. 2008-03-11 19:10:00 Last time, we began The Lesson of Nicodemus and learned that there’s a little of Nicodemus in all of us. We also learned that Nicodemus didn’t quite get what Jesus was trying to teach him about the “victory of the people” not coming through the “ruler of the people.” Do you think he ever got [...]
Digital Apologetics Study Bible 2008-09-06 07:41:35 I want to thank Kent from Logos Bible Software for making me aware of the new digitized ApologeticsStudy
Bible (ASB) that is a part of the Holman Reference Collection available from logos.com.
In my post So Many Translations, So Little Time, I wrote that my next big project would probably be the Apologetics Study Bible [...] Read more:Digital
What’s in a Name? On Ishmael and Isaac 2008-08-27 20:29:42 Most believe that the alphabet as we know it is a human invention. I do not. I have come to the sincere belief that every single word (or jot) in the Bible is divinely placed and meaningful. Additionally, I believe that the language in which the Old Testament was originally written is also divinely created [...] Read more:Isaac

Bible, and now the ESV is preparing to release an ESV Study Bible October 15, 2008.

The Salvation of “the earth” 2008-08-19 16:42:43 When I first began writing this blog, I began by showing Genesis 1:1 in the ancient Hebrew pictographs and the beauty revealed therein. I showed that Jesus’ redemptive work on the cross was revealed from “In the beginning…” The last such entry was about “the heavens” and the various revelations made about Noah, [...] Read more:Salvation

A Week With the NLT Study Bible 2008-09-15 12:22:09 It has been one week since I received my New Living Translation Study
Bible from the NLT Bible Giveaway, and I want thank Tyndale and the NLT Blog for the free NLT Study Bible.
Before I get into the meat of this post, I want to repent of my earlier prejudice against the New Living Translation. [...]
Genesis 1:1 and God’s Great Ambiguity 2008-09-08 15:01:11 This month marks the one-year anniversary of the beginning of my study of Genesis
1:1. When I first began studying Genesis 1:1 in the ancient Hebrew, I remember being amazed at how after 2 months I had yet to exhaust the remarkable wisdom and revelation contained in this one seemingly simple verse.
The one-year older [...] Read more:Great

Cool Bible Stuff 2008-10-13 17:02:51 I come across a lot of cool stuff in the blogosphere. The problem is that I don’t always remember what it was, where it was, or why it was so cool.
So, to help me remember stuff and find it (because my bookmark files are about as cluttered as the web), and because I always [...]
What Makes a Bible Translation Authoritative? My Top Five 2008-10-09 14:23:42 ElShaddai Edwards at He Is Sufficient posed this question: What makes a Bible translation authoritative?
It’s a compelling question, and one that has stuck with me for about a month now. I meant to tackle this question three weeks ago, but I have been swamped lately, so I have a lot of catching up to [...] Read more:Translation
