First up will be my latest IPC course: Next Steps into the Gospels.
This is actually an introductory course on the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) trying to understand the message and ministry of Jesus. If you've ever felt as though Jesus is inconsistent, frustrating, or just plain confusing, I think this will help a great deal.
Why is it in the OT, the commandment reads: "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might," but the NT quotes Jesus by adding the word "mind"? "Might" would seem to indicate "whole-hearted effort," while mind seems to indicate a more philosophical response. Is there more to the story?
...as best I can, I hope to make this a blog about what I’d say about the Christian life at 2AM – the straight story as I see it.
If you want to ask a question, I’ll do my best to answer it. Otherwise, the plan is to cover as many bases as I can: the Bible, theology, church history, ethics, the life of spiritual formation…whatever else comes up.
