There was not a great deal to consider when choosing this week's selection. With all the events that have unfolded this past month "My Anchor Holds" Translation?

Isaiah, Daniel, and Revelation were heavily marked-up. However, where I broke ...
An article on Haaretz.com reports that Masab, son of West Bank Hamas leader Sheikh Yousef, has converted to Christianity. Masab, who has now changed his name to Joseph, was reported by Avi Issacharoff as saying: "You Jews should be aware: You will never, but never have peace with Hamas. Islam, as the ideology that guides them, will not allow them to achieve a peace agreement with the Jews. They ...
This passage from Scripture has struck me deep within the soul this week. The Spirit of God has magnified the impact of the importance of this passage. There are many within the Christian church who say they love the Lord, yet when one sees their acts, they reveal themselves to be selfish, self-seeking, and ultimately on their own agendas. In Matthew 15:7 Jesus said, "You hypocrites, rightly did ...

A recent hot topic[s] here at BT has been the issue[s] surrounding Tim Keller and his supposed "gospel for the uncircumcised," an example of gospel "contextualization." Contextualization is the term that describes the process between the exegesis of Scripture and the delivery of its meaning to a receptor culture (i.e. another context). Grant R. Osborne (Ph.D., University of Aberdeen), Professor of NT at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School defines ...
I must confess, from the point I first saw this fool on television, wrath kindles up within me! I use this harsh language because these men are described as such in the Scriptures, (The Lord is working in me patience and perhaps the ability to pray for a fool like this, that God would cause him to repent and flee from the wrath to come!) They are wolves ...

This afternoon as we ate lunch in Irvine, California, we noticed a young man seated across the way before we sat down to eat. As we hung out and ate, we noticed the man was still sitting in the same spot by himself. All in all, we were there approximately a good hour and a half. Before leaving, we noticed he was still sitting there. What in the ...
In this recent Christianity Today article written by Tim Keller, he says there is only one gospel, but many forms. He uses Galatians 2:7 to justify preaching what he calls a gospel for the people with a more religious background/upbringing, and a gospel for people like postmodern pluralists. Keller says that to the former he preaches the gospel for the "circumcised," while to the latter he preaches his ...
