Brooklyn's Dad Talks About the Bible

The modern church defines "joy" quite differently than does the Lord. We look to the Acts age book of Hebrews to see the greatest example of the values of the Christian life. The Lord endured injustice and death, not caring about the shame that came with it, because the greater joy was found in pleasing the Father and bringing redemption to mankind. #theology

We look at another very popular verse from from Psalm 37, verse 4, "Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart." Is God obligated to all men and women in all ages to fulfill this spiritual transaction? Well, we once again turn to the context of the promise and seek also to rightly divide (2 Tim 2:15) the promise. It surely is a "Bible promise," but what is its purpose and to whom was it given? We also note that the history of Christianity is a history of being persecuted and slaughtered for the faith. #theologytalk

We visit another oft-quoted verse (often when preachers are calling missionaries or guilting parishioners into evangelistic duty), Isaiah 6:8. Also I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said, “Here am I. Send me.” But what message was Isaiah sent with? And to whom was he sent and why?

Short commentary on the papal conclave, we then move back to Israel God's plans for the earth, the land, and the Kingdom. We step back into the Book of Matthew and note the Lord's message and mission in that book and we agree with the Lord's assessment: he was sent only to the lost sheep of the House of Israel and the Gospel of the Kingdom is for Israel alone. Yes, he is Lord of the Gentiles, but he is Son of David to Israel alone. #theologytalk

Part 2 of 2. A look at the return of the Lord through Paul's epistles. We again focus on the spheres of blessing and remind ourselves to rightly divide the differences. #theology [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/theology]
