What use is the Old Testament law? Has it been completely abrogated now that we are under the new covenant? Is the Old Testament just background material to the New Testament? Your answers to these questions are important because Continue reading
I hate running. I did a lot of it in college as part of my military commitment — miles and miles of it, and I still hate it. Some people say they love running, especially when endorphins kick in and you have that gleeful after-effect of joy at the end of your work-out. But I don’t think God blessed me with a proper endorphin Continue reading

Have you ever wondered how the Bible fits together as a unified whole? The Bible is a single book with a single story running through it. Part two of biblical theology will work through the Bible, beginning with Exodus and working through the rest of the Scriptures, showing that Jesus Christ and redemption in Him is the Bible’s main theme!
