Biblearc.com is my top tool for visually tracking a biblical author’s flow-of-thought in order to determine a text’s boundaries, structure, and main idea. I use Biblearc.com’s phrasing module to create what I call a TEXT HIERARCHY of the thought-flow, and then I use the arcing module to visually identify the SEMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS between each of […]
We live in a world were most religions outside Christianity teach that we justify ourselves before God by our good deeds (legalism). Then there are professing believers who continue to assert that in light of Jesus’s justifying work on our behalf, calling others to pursue holiness is misguided; we need only to rest in saving grace (anti-nomianism [anti-law]). Finally, there is a strong contemporary voice warning Christians against the Old Testament altogether. Knowing that believers today are not part of the old covenant, how should new covenant saints relate to Mosaic Instruction?
I recently presented a symposium at Indianapolis Theological Seminary on the relationship between the Old Testament Law and the Christian. Check out both the lecture and the accompanying Q&A to see how (using Brian Rosner’s alliteration) God’s word calls us to repudiate the Mosaic law as covenant, replace it with the law of Christ, and then reappropriate the Mosaic teaching through the light and lens of Christ. None of Moses’s law directly binds believers today. Nevertheless, we should teach and do all his law, but only as it is recast through the way Jesus fulfills the law. We must use rigorous exegesis and theology to evaluate whether Jesus expands, maintains, transforms, or annuls each individual OT law.

In a world scathed with darkness, light is powerful gift from God. The more extended your time in the night, the more you appreciate and hope for light.

In a world scathed with darkness, light is powerful gift from God. The more extended your time in the night, the more you appreciate and hope for light. In a recent chapel message at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary I walk us through Ecclesiastes 11:7–12:1. The Preacher in Ecclesiastes is one who had tasted the bitterness of this world and the bigness and beauties of God and who supplies tangible help for those of us who know the Lord and yet who cannot fully grasp his ways in this crooked and confused world.
In the message I seek to challenge any hearer to let your heart be satisfied in the Lord today. Rejoice always, run wisely, remove your cares, and remember your Creator. And let the certainty that God has worked for you in Christ supply you all you need to persevere through the darkest of days unto the time when there will be no night.
The message follows this outline:
Join with me as we see the light of Christ in the book of Ecclesiastes.

On January 28th, 2019 I had the privilege of leading a seminar during the Bethlehem Conference for Pastors & Church Leaders titled “How to Understand and Apply the Old Testament.” In line with the conference theme, “Gospel Joy,” my hope was to lead these pastors and ministry leaders into the joys of seeing and savoring Jesus in the pages of the Old Testament. The title I gave to this presentation, “Seven Ways to See and Savor the Divine Son in All of Scripture,” reflects that hope and walks through in a very practical way how to do this.
The seven ways are as follows:

In a recent Bethlehem College & Seminary Chapel, I preached a message from Zephaniah 3:9–10. Some Christians are called to go to the nations proclaiming the good news of Jesus. Other Christians are called to send those people in a manner worthy of the Lord. There are no other alternatives. This message situates Zephaniah 3:9–10 […]
In a recent Bethlehem College & Seminary Chapel, I preached a message from Zephaniah 3:9–10. Some Christians are called to go to the nations proclaiming the good news of Jesus. Other Christians are called to send those people in a manner worthy of the Lord. There are no other alternatives.
This message situates Zephaniah 3:9–10 in the context of the book as a whole, clarifies how it relates to the call to “wait for the LORD” in 3:8, and then walks through the parts, identifying how it anticipates a reversal of the Tower of Babel and finds initial fulfillment in the church. Then I move into how this text is a mighty text for global missions. May God be gracious to continue to build his multi-ethnic community of worshippers who call upon his name.
