Comment on Uncharacteristic (?) But Genuine Gushing by Esther

I tend to read Jim Berg’s books and listen to his sermons from Sermon Audio multiple times–and they continue to impact my thinking and walk with God. No way to quantify the impact his teaching has had in my life. Truly grateful!

Mark, this is very handy. I found it about a week ago and am trying it out alongside Instapaper and Evernote.

Millions of words go through my eyeballs every year, and only a few sentences really stick. What my theologically astute friend said (quoted in this post) and what you, Jeremy, said about your dad’s willingness to work with pre-mils—these are two of the sentences that have come back to my mind many times in the last few months.

Just a FWIW!

I am in favor of many of these recommendations, especially paragraphing and single column format. Just to note that God’s Word translation has been published in single column format since 1995 (and even its predecessor translations back to 1988. The format of the text itself aids the oral reader. Recently the newest publisher of GW offered a text that was double column for history and single column for poetry/prophecy. I have used it on occasion and find it useful.

Chapter and verse numbers are intriguing. I like the differentiation between a study Bible and a text Bible for their use.

Comment on Grudem on Selfishness by Don Johnson

Well, he was doing all right until he came to point 4. None of the verses cited say that God’s glory is God’s ‘highest goal’. They state that God does things that promote his glory, that our salvation is for the purpose of bringing glory to him, but they don’t say that is God’s highest goal. In fact, I would challenge the notion that God operates out of self-interest at all. Everything God does tends to God’s glory because God is glorious, magnificent, and good. But to say that God is absorbed with promoting his own self-interest? No, I don’t think so. And I don’t think that any part of the Bible actually says this.

However, it is true that not all self-interest is selfishness.

Maranatha!

I don’t think the designer was even thinking, just taking the whole verse and plopping it on the shirt, “And Mitzpah” and all.
