• The power of faith

  
  Mark Horne — Authority: 139
  Abraham described in Romans 4.19-21: He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead (since he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah’s womb. No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as ...

  Better Living: Thoughts from Mark Daniels — Authority: 135
  I fully expect to witness the convergence of Venus, Jupiter, and our moon on November 18, 2052. Ill be 99 years old on that date, my birthday. Be that as it may, the reliability of Gods physical universe and our certainty about when this convergence will next happen, reminds us of the complete reliability of God and ...

• Psalm 2: Vanity or Peace

  
  Diary of a Broken Vessel — Authority: 116
  1 Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? 2The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against his Anointed, saying, 3″Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.” 4He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord ...

• Romans 7 and the natural reading

  
  Mark Horne — Authority: 139
  Is Romans 7.7ff simply Paul’s personal experience battling with sin either as an unregenerate person or a believer? Or is it really about something different? The idea that Romans 7 represents the struggle of corporate Israel after Sinai and before Pentecost seems ridiculous unless one makes some kind of ...

• The Righteous Shall Hear the Word of Christ

  
  Voice of the Sheep — Authority: 121
  Behold, as for the proud one, His soul is not right within him; But the righteous will live by his faith. – Habakkuk 2:4 That truth, that the righteous will live by faith, is quoted at least three times in the New Testament: Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:11, and Hebrews 10:38. According to Martin Luther’s son, this ...

• So you sent me an email... big whoop.

  
  The Squid Zone — Authority: 121
  This post is related to the previous one regarding email-o-phobes. Many of them will say they dont want to become a slave to their email, or some similar argument. Thats a lame argument because becoming a slave to your email is a choice, not a requirement. Only you can make you a slave to your email. However, you dont ...

• On Mortification

  
  De Regnis Duobus: Cult, Culture, and the Christian's Dual Citizenship — Authority: 496
  I just began teaching an adult Sunday School class on John Owens classic work The Mortification of Sin in Believers, and this morning we looked at chapter 1 in which Owen lays out some opening remarks about the discourse. The whole treatise is an exposition of Romans 8:13b: "If you mortify the deeds of the body, you ...

• Christ the King of the world justifies the world

  
  Mark Horne — Authority: 139
  Zephaniah 3.15: YHWH has taken away the judgments against you; he has cleared away your enemies. The King of Israel, YHWH, is in your midst; you shall never again fear evil. Peter Leithart has some excellent commentary on this verse , but I am surprised he doesn’t tie in Romans and the inclusion of the ...

• Do Evil that Good May Come

  
  Mark Horne — Authority: 139
  Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision? Much in every way. To begin with, the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God. What if some were unfaithful? Does their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God? By no means! Let God be true though every one were a liar, as it is written, ...

• N. T. Wright on the “boasting” of Romans 5.1-11

  
  Mark Horne — Authority: 139
  Wright notices in his lecture C1 of his “Roamns in a Week” seminar, that Paul uses the same word for Christian behavior (“we boast”) that he condemns in chapters 2 and 3 or Romans regarding “boasting” in the Law.  He expresses a wish for an English word that could be used in all cases but that worked ...

  The Cruciform Life Blog — Authority: 471
  [A young] boy down in my Southland years ago, wanted to join a church.  So the deacons were examining him.They asked, “How did you get saved?”His answer was, “God did His part, and I did my part.”They thought there was something wrong with his doctrine, so they questioned further, “What was God’s part, ...

• The Gospel Drama

  
  Wilderness Fandango — Authority: 125
  Here are a couple of things I want to keep in mind as I read through Romans. Octavius Winslow: "Search the Scriptures, my reader, with a view of seeing and knowing more of your Redeemer, compared with whom nothing else is worth knowing or making known."  [Thanks to the Foolish Galatian for this quote.] To know ...

• Romans 1.18-25

  
  Mark Horne — Authority: 139
  For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been ...

• The Year of Reading (and living) Romans

  
  Wilderness Fandango — Authority: 125
  As I mentioned yesterday , I plan to read Pauls Epistle to the Romans once a week for all of 2010. This morning was my first read-through. I have read the epistle often enough, but usually focusing on the middle chapters, five through eight, which have always seemed to me to be sort of the highest peaks in the ...

  The Squid Zone — Authority: 121
  It being 2010, I was immediately reminded of this: Yes, sometime in the past, at least one forward thinker figured wed have workable artificial intelligence by 1997 (1992 in the movies), have manned missions to Jupiter by nine years ago, and further exploration this year. Kinda missed the space-ship on that one I ...

• The excuse, “I didn’t know,” isn’t going to work

  
  A Brick in the Valley — Authority: 135
  Some may claim ignorance about the existence of God, but according to Romans, the reality is another matter. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the ...

• Two unreasonable positions...

  
  The Squid Zone — Authority: 121
  Position 1: "I dont do email." or "I check email maybe once a week, if I think someone sent me something." I cant understand how it is that there are people, and seemingly plenty of them (mostly older people but not exclusively) who cannot or will not check email on a regular basis. First, I should define "regular ...
