4 Reasons why we should care that the status quo in Israel-Palestine ain’t status quo: #6

Last updated on: July 17, 2023 at 7:38 am By Rob Dalrymple

This is my 6th post with regard to the present status in Israel-Palestine. And you might be thinking, “Okay, Rob we get the message. The conflict in present situation is not good. But can we move on?” Nope. It’s like the preacher who preached the same sermon the first three weeks at his new church. Finally one of the elders came to him, certainly questioning the decision to hire this man, and asked, “Do you have anything else you could... Read more

Devotional Guide Romans #2: Romans 4-7

Last updated on: July 17, 2022 at 6:40 pm By Rob Dalrymple

Monday: Read Rom 4:1-25 Paul’s argument in Romans centers on the fact that God was faithful to His promises to Abraham through the faithfulness of Jesus Christ—by His death! (3:21-25). Paul’s argument is steeped in creation. In Romans 1, he points out that God created humanity to reflect his image and glory to the creation. But instead of reflecting God’s glory, humanity chose to reflect its own image. Paul notes in Romans 2 that the chosen people of God were... Read more

Those in power love the status quo: even if that means the continued suffering of the Palestinians. Why the status quo in Israel-Palestine ain’t status quo: #5

Last updated on: July 17, 2023 at 8:28 am By Rob Dalrymple

Power and peace There is no question that the President of the US and the Congress are hamstrung when it comes to providing a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. There is also no question that they have (or had) the power to impose a solution. The problem is that power and politics demand that the status quo remains the status quo. I have personally attended several Congressional dinners where congressperson after congressperson (Republicans and Democrats) explained their predicament. They... Read more

Devotional Guide Romans: week 1: Rom 1-3

Last updated on: July 12, 2022 at 7:57 am By Rob Dalrymple

Monday: Read Romans 1:1-17 Well, you may be excited to get into a book as rich as the book of Romans. Or you may be intimidated. Or you may be concerned that the theology of Romans will bore you or go over your head. I suppose all are legitimate emotions. Romans is perhaps the richest of all Paul’s writings. In order to understand it well, we will likely need to purge ourselves from what we have been taught. Simply put,... Read more

Does loving your neighbor mean that you want them to have adequate healthcare?

Last updated on: June 30, 2022 at 4:33 pm By Rob Dalrymple

I typically do not like to address a topic unless I have a certain level of understanding of it and of the various sides in the debate. This, then, means that I am woefully ill-equipped to address the present topic. Yet, I suspect that the topic itself, though I am sure it is immensely complex, is relatively straightforward. As it now stands, basic healthcare is only available to certain individuals. I do not know the statistics. But I suspect that... Read more

Devotional Guide the book of Acts #6: Acts 24-28

Last updated on: June 20, 2022 at 7:08 am By Rob Dalrymple

Monday: Read Acts 24 In Acts 24, Paul has the first of several trials before a Roman governor. We must bear in mind that the governor’s job was to maintain peace in the region. The fact that Paul spent 2 years in prison in Caesarea (AD 57-59) was a direct result of the fact that those in power were seeking either a bribe from Paul (26) or to make the Jewish leaders happy (27). Paul is convinced that he is... Read more

What do evangelicals believe?

Last updated on: August 4, 2022 at 3:20 pm By Rob Dalrymple

So, you want to know what an evangelical is. Of course, when most people think of “evangelicals” they likely have in mind those of a particular (usually far-right) political agenda. But this is not necessarily so. Essential to understanding “what is an evangelical?” and “what is evangelicalism?” is the fact that evangelicalism is neither a religion nor a denomination, but a faith movement. Because it is a movement, it is not restricted to a “theological” construct. As a result, evangelicals... Read more

Last updated on: February 25, 2024 at 3:58 pm By Rob Dalrymple

Monday: Read Acts 19 Paul’s 3rd missionary journey (53-57) takes him to Ephesus which was a leading city in the Roman world. At the time, it was a port city on the West coast of Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey). Paul had set his sights on Ephesus from the beginning of his ministry. Paul, in fact, remained in Ephesus longer than he did in any other city (2+ years). While in Ephesus, significant problems arose in the church in Corinth that... Read more

I’m Pro-life and I’m grieved that Roe v Wade was overturned

Last updated on: June 30, 2022 at 4:22 pm By Rob Dalrymple

I know that pro-life evangelicals are rejoicing today. Well, I am grieved. and here is why. The Church has historically led the way on women’s rights One of the ironies that gets lost in the modern debates regarding abortion is that Christianity has historically been a movement that has flourished among women and the poor. Jesus was certainly on the side of the oppressed and the marginalized. In addition, historically Christianity has led the way in arguing for women’s liberty... Read more

Devotional Guide: the Book of Acts #4: Acts 14-18

Last updated on: June 11, 2022 at 8:30 am By Rob Dalrymple

Monday: Read Acts 14 Paul and Barnabas reach the interior of Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey). Here we really get a good understanding of the tension that they faced. As we noted earlier, Paul and Barnabas enter the synagogues and preach to the Jews first. Then they would begin to proclaim the Gospel of the kingdom to the Gentiles. When they preached in Iconium, many Jews and Greeks believed. This may sound like good news, and it is, but it creates... Read more
