A paradise lost, with more tragedy to come, all of God's prophecies proved true ... including the Evangelium
‘Ezer Kenegdo: Eve, Part One
Her story reveals Godโs great love and joy as the Lord anticipated the climax of Godโs creative undertaking.
“Jesus Human,” by Leonard Sweet
This book, taken as a whole with all its many conversations and observations laid next to each other in mindful contextualization, brings meaning. It is experiential, becoming its own metaphor for the fractals and diversity of every Jesus human, and the Body of Christ. I deeply appreciate being taken on this journey in this way.
Women from the Dawn of Time
Each podcast is designed to offer background scholarship on the topic, including setting, culture, original language, and archaeology, as well as a theological study.ย
Isaiah 24: The Lye of Sin
The Lordโs deliverance would be severe mercy in the storm of Godโs wrath, destroying all that is wrong, and leaving only what is good, pure, and right.
Isaiah 1: Court is in Session
This first chapter provides the foundation for the rest of the book: Godโs love for God's people, holding them to account for their sin, warning them about judgment and promising them forgiveness, redemption and restoration.
Eve, Part II
Women have been rightfully restored to the blessing and commission God has given to all humanity. Let us now reflect that truth, and live as equals in the liberty of love Jesus holds out to us. ย
Eve, Part I
Eveโs story is perhaps the most iconic for all women, as she is the first of us, the one from whom all of us have come, and her story becomes, in a certain sense, the source of our stories as well.
The Book of Generations: Two Beginnings
And my next question to myself is how what I support reflects that truth? How much of my churchโs budget, for example, a budget I regularly contribute to, is spent on a terrific worship service Sunday morning compared to developing, sustaining, and handing on depth and breadth of relationship with our Lord? Compared to caring for our community, and our earth? What concerns our church governing board the mostโmoney? Numbers of people on a Sunday morning?
“His Death Shall Bring It”
But though Godโs judgment was delayed, it was no less certain. It was inevitable; that day had already been marked down on the calendar. Assuming the chronology of Methusalehโs life corresponds with Noah, then the very year Methuselah died, thatโs the year the Flood cameโyou see, if you tot up the years from Lamechโs birth, to Noahโs birth, and Noahโs age when the Flood came, you get the same number as Methuselahโs age when he died.
