Optimism and Jeremiah

I am sure all of us have had very busy schedules planning services for Passion week and Easter. Due to that,I must apologize for the lateness of this blog entry. I found that this year things are less organized in my family in regards to Easter celebrations or family gatherings. Still,I was able [...]

Still Thinking About Isaiah…

This will be a shorter post,but lately I have been thinking of N. T. Wright’s view that when the Kingdom of God comes in its fulness there will be a recreation of this world. If this is right,and I’m in the school of thought that thinks it is,then what will that look [...]

Isaiah 53

Over SpringBreak I went with FBC Waco’s college group to Helena,Arkansas on a mission trip. During the mornings we did construction and during the evenings we went to play with the local children. Although this was exceptionally fun,what I found to be the most influential aspect of the trip was one girl’s willingness [...]

Esther

When I had a Netflix account,they were streaming One Night With the King and upon Dr. Ngan’s recommendation I watched it. Not only did I watch it,but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The narrative plot employed by the director as well as the sincerity of the woman playing Esther were entertaining to say the [...]

Yoda’s Advice.

This man believes that the leviathan and behemoth towards the end of Job are evidence that dinosaurs and humans lived at the same time. I considered giving a long,drawn out [...]

Job_Post 1

Since the time I was in middle school I have enjoyed the book of Job. This is not to say that I enjoy stories of suffering;rather,I enjoy the questions it raises. In the next post I will type out what I think may be the solvent to the theodicy,but for the present [...]

Proverbs_Post 2:Caesar,Solomon,and Canary

This post is a personal log of my latest questions arising from life experiences,it is long and not necessarily pertinent to class discussion:

As I was reading the book of Proverbs again,I began to think back upon my life. Currently,my family is financially doing well. However,I come from a meager background. [...]

Proverbs,Post 1:Structure and Setting

Like Psalms,It has been a very long tim since I have read Proverbs. What I noticed in this round is that there is not an explicit mention of the Davidic monarchy. I find this peculiar for two reasons:most of these proverbs are attributed to Solomon and they were compiled into the book probably [...]

Psalm 121 Considerations

In SundaySchool this morning at FBC Waco,the discussion concerned the Psalms. To begin,we talked about the various types of psalms (royal,lament,etc). From here,we narrowed our gaze onto psalm 121,which is one of ascent,or pilgrimage. It is one of the better known chapters,which reads:

I lift my eyes [...]
