The Word Became Flesh (1)
By the time John was writing, there was thousands of Greeks in church for every one Jew who was a Christian. So John was faced with a difficulty. How could he write about Jesus in such a way that the Greeks could understand and yet not diminish from the truth of the gospel? Was there a way in which the Greeks could be introduced to the values of Christianity and salvation without being routed through Judaism? John pondered these questions fairly and squarely and arrived at one of the greatest...

The God Who is Here
We may wear "life is well" masks at work. We may engage in theological or political debates with the best of them. But, who can stop the spread of cancer? Who can prevent AIDS from wiping out a generation?

Reflections on Biblical Inerrancy
Bloesch's view toward biblical inerrancy and infallibility seems to be less orthodox than many of his fundamentalist colleagues in the Gospel ministry. If I were to classify him, I would probably list him among the neo-evangelicals and feel comfortable with it.

The Lord's Prayer - Doxology (Pt 3)
If you really want to know what glory is, you must see Jesus in the humility of His death. It was His earthly crowning glory. He did not go to His death as a helpless victim of circumstances but as a King going to His crowning.

The Word Became Flesh (2)
We began by seeing that John's problem was not that of presenting Christianity to the Jewish world, but of presenting it to the Greek world. How then did this idea of "The Word" fit into Greek thought?

The Bottom Line - According to Koheleth (2)
We get bogged down in things which cannot and will not last, while the heavenly goes disregarded. We have a way of wrapping ourselves around that, which crumbles and leaves us hopeless and troubled, disappointed and rejected while the divine goes neglected. Lord teach us to number our days that we might apply our hearts unto wisdom.

The Bottom Line - According to Koheleth (1)
So if you happen to be one of those people who never experience pain. The last time you visited the doctor's office you received a clean bill of health, be thankful. Thank God for His mercy, but do not gloat about it. Do not become boisterous and big headed because your house is not secure.

The Lord's Prayer - Doxology (Pt 1)
The Lord's Prayer is a prayer taught by a Man going to His death. No doubt, you remember the incident. Jesus was arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane, tried and found guilty of a crime He never committed, betrayed by Judas with a kiss, denied by Peter, deserted by the disciples and friends, killed by enemies, died in shame and humiliation, buried in Joseph's tomb.

Genealogy of the Christ Child (Pt 1)
This genealogy was not a mistake; it was not coincidental that these ordinary people characterized Jesus' ancestry. No, this pedigree did not happen haphazardly but there is someone in the background appropriating history. There is Someone in the background acting in our behalf; Someone in the background bending the wills of men and women and guiding their lives to bring about His divine purpose. There is mystery in the list of who parented whom down the line until we get to Jacob...

Genealogy of the Christ Child (Pt 2)
And then there are those who made egregious errors in their lives and those whose names are not to be mentioned in respectable circles; Rachab, a prostitute, Tamar, an adulteress. Solomon was born to David and Bathsheba while Bathsheba was married to Uriah. Good Solomon fathered wicked Rehoboam, Roboam fathered evil Abia; evil Abia fathered good Asa; good Asa fathered good Josaphat; good Josaphat fathered sinful Joram.
