Isaiah 40:30-31 (NIV) “Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who _______________ will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” If you can’t fill in the blank, look it up. In… Read More »
For the last twelve weeks, I have taught through Isaiah 1-12 in Sunday School. It has been wonderful. Tomorrow I will summarize this section, and next week I will explain how Matthew understood Isaiah’s prophecies in 1-12 to be fulfilled in Jesus. I’ve discussed some of this previously on this blog, though my present study… Read More »

He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not… Read More »
If you’ve never been to a conference of the Evangelical Theological Society and you wonder what you might hear there, I thought I’d give you a list of the presentations I attended. In most cases, the presenter reads his paper. Sometimes he hands out his paper or an outline. There were many sessions… Read More »
I’ve been asked to explain my thoughts behind giving a poll asking which Bible book you would take to a desert island if you could only take one. The inquiry was a good one, as there a little bit of thought behind the poll. In order to answer the question, you had to think through… Read More »
The first poll on this blog was not a failure, so we’ll try another one.

Chapters 34 and 35 could not be more opposite. This is one place in the Bible where there can be no doubt that they got the chapter division right. Chapter 34 is an oracle of awful judgment against the nations; chapter 35 prophesies a glorious future for God’s people and land. On the face of… Read More »
