Stairway To Heaven
June 23, 2017 by Geoff Meadows
Jacob’s dream of a stairway to heaven reminds us of the account of the tower of Babel (Gen. 11). In constructing the tower of Babel, humanity failed to fill the earth as God had commanded (Gen.9:1). They thought very highly of themselves, as if they were God. ...
How Is Your Walk?
June 2, 2017 by Geoff Meadows
How is your walk? Now I’m not referring to your strut or your swagger. Or whether you’ve got a hitch in your hip, or a prance in your dance. I mean how is your walk with God? Most often we describe walking with God in terms of closeness in relationship, and steadiness in progress. Sometimes people mistakenly associate walking with God with a Kincaid portrait and the old hymn In the Garden playing in the background. Let’s look at a biblical illustration of walking with God using the Scriptures as our guide....
Out of My Hands
May 26, 2017 by Clint Humfrey
So that is how it’s possible to give up the ownership of our lives to Jesus Christ. He is Lord. He knows what’s he’s doing. And more importantly, he has already paid the bills of our sledgehammer spree. As 2 Timothy 1.10 says, Jesus is the one, “who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel”(NIV). He has come to make“all things new” (Rev 21.5)....
Witness, not Despair
May 19, 2017 by Clint Humfrey
The Scriptures can give us great confidence like they did for the apostles, and others like Maskepetoon. Such confidence helps us to bear regular consistent witness with the testimony of the Scriptures....
Already, Not Yet
May 19, 2017 by Clint Humfrey
There are many things that we can view through this lense of promise and prospect or an already, not yet. When a blushing girl gets a ring from a nervous guy, that engagement symbol is a promise that they will marry. The couple has the promise already, but they must wait for their wedding day which is not yet. ...
Gravity, not 15 Minutes of Fame
May 5, 2017 by Clint Humfrey
One of the classic examples of an awakened recognition of the gravity of God came to the ancient prophet Isaiah when he had a supernatural vision of the khavod of God. Isaiah saw that God was morally pure-- triple deluxe pure so that angelic beings could not view God directly because their creaturely eyeballs would fry if they looked at God’s holy purity. And these angels sang out, ‘Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies--- the whole earth is full of his glory” (Isaiah 6.3). That vision of moral purity was not merely significant, it crushed Isaiah. He was crushed under the weight of God’s holy gravity. He had to confess, “I am undone. For I am a man of unclean lips and I live in the midst of a people of unclean lips. For my eyes have seen the king, the Lord of heaven’s armies” (v.5). What was a glory-crushed guy to do? ...

Continuing our series on free resources to enhance biblical and theological study, I’m turning this week to look at a number of websites that are very helpful.

Last time, I reviewed a couple of free e-book resources. This week’s focus is on Bible study library software (I know I said I’d look at web-based resources, but I thought this would be useful covered first!)...
Keep ReadingFour Ways to Know Your Bible Better
June 24, 2015 by Clint Humfrey | Category: Bible Study | Tags: bible, Prayer, study, cross reference
Since we believe Paul when he said, “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness” (2 Tim 3.16), then we all want to know our bibles better. Obviously, the starting point for this is to read the bible. But there are some things that can help us to do that. Here are four ways to know you...
Keep ReadingThe Booth of David
July 29, 2012 by Paul Toews | Category: Bible Study | Tags: booth of david, amos, promised land
In the sermon I gave on Sunday, July 29 I highlighted the temporariness of the Booth of David and also stated that the Booth of David is Christ. This may have led some to think of Christ as being temporary. Those who know me know that I would never say such a thing. Let me explain one more time....
Keep ReadingFoundations for a Good Library: Some Recommended Books
March 24, 2012 by Jeff Jones | Category: Bible Study | Tags: bible study, library, recommended resources, study bible, atlas, commentary, dictionary, hermeneutics, biblical theology, systematic theology
We are commanded to love the Lord with all our mind (Matthew 22:37), and so the cultivation of our knowledge and understanding is a critical part of our discipleship. Now, it certainly can’t constitute all or even most of our walk with God; after all, we are warned in the Scriptures that “knowledge puffs up” (1 Corinthians 8:1). But while the pursuit of knowledge by ...
