“We Have a Law”
During the time devoted to the Lord’s supper during our worship service each week, I have made it a practice to read something that keeps my mind focused on the unjust trials and the crucifixion of Jesus. Sometimes the material that I read is from a book of devotional thoughts I have downloaded on my iPad. Those thoughts are focused on those events. Most of the time, though, I am reading about those events from one of the gospel accounts. Recently, as I was reading from the Gospel of John, some words caught my attention. I had read them many times before, but they made more of an impact this…

A Lesson Learned from Teaching the Song of Solomon
I’m only a couple of weeks away from finishing teaching a Bible class on the Song of Solomon. This is actually the second time I have taught through that book, and, while challenging, it is a joy. Since the book is quite short, we are able to throw in a few “special studies” on marriage, but they all come from the concepts found in that great love poem. Overall, though, the vast majority of the class is just going through the poem and being encouraged by what is there. It is interesting to me that, while Song of Solomon is “famous” for its very descriptive language, that part of the…

The Most Important Thing I’ve Learned by Preaching Through Mark
It has been quite an odyssey, and Central has been great to be along for the ride. At the beginning of 2023 (notice…not 2024), it was announced that Noah Davis and I would be preaching through the Gospel according to Mark. We made it clear that it would not be every Sunday morning, but that we were going to take two years to go through that book. Now, as November 2024 approaches, we are about to land the plane. Lord willing, the four Sunday mornings of November will be spent bringing this study to a close with sermons on (1) the second part of the crucifixion, (2) the burial, (3)…

Making Connections
Sometimes people try to discredit the Bible by saying that the God in the Old Testament is not the same God we read of in the New Testament even though He claims to be the “same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). Others try to use the same argument but to make almost the opposite point: that it is much easier to please God today because He is more loving now. They usually point out actions recorded in the Old Testament that seem more harsh while highlighting verses from the New Testament like 1 John 4:8 which reads, in part, “God is love.” My son Daniel is extremely good…
