What Should We Learn From Jeremiah 12?

What Should We Learn From Jeremiah 12?

What should we learn from Jeremiah 12?

First, let’s read Jeremiah 12.

Jeremiah’s Prayer ​ Righteous are You, O Lord, that I would plead my case with You; Indeed I would discuss matters of justice with You: Why has the way of the wicked prospered?

The Much Anticipated Schuyler Personal Size Quentel NASB Bible!

The Much Anticipated Schuyler Personal Size Quentel NASB Bible!

I know you’ve heard me extol the virtues of a few different Bibles in the past.  I know there are a lot of truly great editions out there.  I’m not trying to take anything away from them when I say this.  This is the perfect Bible. (for me.)  Keep in mind that the features/attributes of any edition are appreciated subjectively by the individual.  We all like different things.

I have been looking…

A Thirst Not For Water

A Thirst Not For Water

In Amos we read of a thirst not for water, but scripture, the word of God.  Later in the scriptures, we read of the Word made flesh.  We learn that the scriptures are the mind of the Word made flesh, the self-existent Triune God, who created all things, for us to know Him and His will.  We learn that the scriptures are the progressive revelation of Him.  We also learn that they are used to…

A Review of Holman's CSB (Christian Standard Bible) Large Print UltraThin Reference Bible, in Black Goatskin Leather.

A Review of Holman’s CSB (Christian Standard Bible) Large Print UltraThin Reference Bible, in Black Goatskin Leather.

I know many of you are waiting out there to see what this revision of the H.C.S.B. is all about.  It isn’t a formal equivalent, it isn’t a dynamic equivalent.  F.Y.I. Holman calls it an optimal translation.  Here is an excerpt from their site, “The Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a highly trustworthy, faithful translation that is proven to be the optimal blend of accuracy and readability. It’s…

"The Heaven Promise" by Scot McKnight does not rise above.

“The Heaven Promise” by Scot McKnight does not rise above.

There are plenty of books out on Heaven currently.  This is one among them.  Scot Mcknight is a talented writer.  His book is interesting to read.  I can agree with much of what he said, if I give him the benefit of the doubt in some areas.

The difficulty I have with Christian books is that I look for books that will add value to the Christian’s library.  In the world of Christian books, I read…

The Holy Trinity.

God is triune.  He is one being, in trinity.  This means, one being, three persons.  Father, (πατήρ) Son, (υἱός) and Holy Spirit. (πνευματι αγιω) God is eternal.  He has always existed just as He is.  He has never, not existed.  Everything that is, has been made by Him.  Everything is sustained by Him.  All persons of the Trinity have likewise always existed, as one being, one God.  God’s…

A Review of the Trinitarian Bible Society's Family Bible.

A Review of the Trinitarian Bible Society’s Family Bible.

Trinitarian Bible Society (T.B.S.) was kind enough to send me a copy of their Family Bible in KJV translation for review.  As usual it was packed very well, and arrived in perfect shape.

This  Bible comes in a clamshell type retail box.  It should be retained for storage.

T.B.S. as usual has been great to deal with.  They always package their Bibles well, and are nice to correspond with.  I…
