Words wither and blogs fade away…
Forgive me if you’ve heard this song before, but I've decided to stop blogging at He is Sufficient. I truly appreciate all of the wit, wisdom and words of faith that you have shared with me over the past few years. I wish you well in all of your endeavors, whatever they may be and wherever they may lead you. “God is sufficient for the needs of His people”. Amen!

Revelation 20: the complete fulfillment of the Old Covenant?
If you missed the link in the comments on “Sheol and the Resurrection of the Dead“, be sure to check out Steve’s new article at Undeception about “The Millennium and the Resurrection of the Dead“. It’s a well-stated argument for the full preterist position that the events described in Revelation 20 are the fulfillment of [...]

A clash of worlds
One of the odd things about my professional day job is that our offices are on the 5th floor of a hotel. We rent the space, but it’s rather odd to walk into a hotel everyday and head for the elevators. It’s a business hotel, so there’s almost always one conference or another going on: [...]

Blessing the beer and other silly expressions of faith…
After the Lord’s disciples had failed to cast out the demon possessing a boy in Caesarea Philippi (Matthew 17:14-16), Jesus rebuked the demon and healed the boy. Afterwards his disciples came to him and asked why they had failed.

Unceasing Worship, part 3
Preface: see Introduction, Part 1 and Part 2 for earlier posts in this “book review” series.
Chapter 3 of Harold Best’s “Unceasing Worship” is titled “Mutual Indwelling: The Final Geography of Worship” and moves the text from discussing the time and place of worship in Christ to mutual worship within the corporate body.
Best begins with ruminations [...]
Randy Rabbi Rashi…
I really don’t know what to make of this article on Rashi’s suggestions about Adam’s adventuresome life with the animals before Eve… read the blog comments for tie-ins to Cro-Magnon, Neanderthals, cavegirls and the Nachash.

There and back again: rewriting written oral traditions
I’ve tried to stay out of the literary translation debate that has engulfed blogdom for the past week, mostly because I have little to contribute, not being conversant in Greek or Hebrew and reliant on English translations as my primary source. I am amenable to the idea of a translation that accurately conveys the modes [...]
