What Douglas Moo writes concerning Peter’s declaration that Jesus is God (2 Pet 1:1) seems to be the standard view: While it would be a gross anachronism to attribute to the apostle at this point a fully worked-out Trinitarian understanding of God, what he says here, along with other similar verses in the New Testament,… Read More »
According to the Bible, saving faith is: A. Having believed in Jesus at some point in your life B. Always knowing that God is real and Jesus is his Son and that he died on the cross for you C. Primarily demonstrated by doing good works and being a good person D. Though you have… Read More »
If word frequency is any indicator of content, then according to my argument of Hebrews, this is what the book is about:
I’m off for the weekend to Lake Texoma. Try and guess where that is. No, it’s not anywhere close to Texarkana. And it’s a very far distance from Texico.

I found John Piper’s recent message from his National Conference to be very good and I would recommend that you listen to it. The title is “The Life of the Mind and the Love of God.” Here is one quote: There is an odd notion that, if we use our minds to grow in our… Read More »
