On Reading Larger Portions of the Bible
/
A few weeks ago, I suggested that we should read larger portions of Scripture at a time. In this post, I want to consider a few questions pertaining to the issue: 1) why does it seem unnatural to read like this and 2) how, practically, can I read larger portions. On the one hand, reading... Read More

Synthesizing Indwelling, Omnipresence, and Sanctification
/
The question of the absence or presence of the indwelling ministry of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament is a relatively new question in theology. Prior to the twentieth century, the question is almost entirely absent from the literature. In fact, one is hard pressed to find a treatment of “indwelling” at all—it was... Read More

Miracles: Then and Now (Part Two)
/
[See Part One Here] NEW TESTAMENT MIRACLES In the decades of the New Testament Gospels there was a huge break-out of miracles (e.g., Matt 4:23-24; 8:16; 9:35; 12:15; 15:30). (Interestingly John the Baptist performed no miracles–John l0:41.) These surrounded mainly the person of Jesus Christ and His claims to be God in the flesh and... Read More

Online vs. In-Person Education: The Superior Value of In-Person Education
/
A couple of weeks ago Dan Wallace wrote an article questioning whether or not online education is equal in quality to in-person education. (Tim Miller offered some of his thoughts on the article here.) I’d like to consider two of the issues he raises in comparing in-person/residential to online/distance education—one in this post and the... Read More
