The Bible and its Interpretation: biblicism and evangelicalism #5

Last updated on: April 7, 2022 at 9:42 pm By Rob Dalrymple

My opening presentation in my course on biblical interpretation always includes examples of interpretations which we would all agree (or I hope we would all agree), were/are wrong—seriously, tragically, horrifically, wrong. Why do I do this? For a number of reasons: including the old cliché, “those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” NB: this post continues to look at the Bible and evangelicalism. Though I personally maintain a very high regard for the Bible, my... Read more

Luke Devotional Guide #5: 13:1-17:10

Last updated on: March 22, 2022 at 8:48 am By Rob Dalrymple

Week #5 Luke 13:1-17:10 Monday: Read Luke 13:1-35 We have reached the heart of the Gospel of Luke. At the end of this section, the disciples cry out, “Lord, ‘increase our faith’” (17:5). Luke continues to center his focus on the disciples. The issue remains what is required for entrance into the kingdom. He continues to call the nation to repent (5). Jesus’ healing of a woman on the Sabbath (10-17) highlights the contrast between Jesus and the religious leaders.... Read more

The Bible and Truth: Biblicism and Evangelicals #4

Last updated on: April 4, 2022 at 8:42 pm By Rob Dalrymple

Jesus said, “you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free” (John 8:32). The goal for every Christian should be to know and determine what the truth is. After all, we believe that all truth leads us to Jesus, who is Himself, the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6). If we are called to live like Him and to become like Him, then knowing the truth is an important part of the journey. NB: This... Read more

Luke Devotional Guide #4: Luke 9:51-12:59

Last updated on: March 22, 2022 at 8:38 am By Rob Dalrymple

Week #4 Luke 9:51-12:59 Monday: Read Luke 9:51-10:24 Luke 9:51-19:44 is often deemed the “travel narrative.” The title is not so much concerned with the journey, but the destination: Jerusalem (9:51, 53, 56; 13:22; 17:11; 18:31; 19:28): “it came about when the days for him to be taken up[2] came about, and He himself resolutely set His face to go to Jerusalem” (51).[3] As we venture on, we learn Jesus must travel to Jerusalem “for it cannot be that a...

Biblicism: the Bible and Evangelicalism #3

Last updated on: March 28, 2022 at 6:12 am By Rob Dalrymple

When I was a child, my mom began attending a ministry for single adults. I got to know many of the people because they often had events in which single parents could bring their children. I would say that it was an evangelical group, but I really doubt that we knew what an evangelical was back then. Certainly, many of the people later adopted the beliefs of what became known as evangelicalism and the religious right. During these events, I... Read more

Luke Devotional Guide: #3 7:1-9:50

Last updated on: March 20, 2022 at 5:26 pm By Rob Dalrymple

Monday: Read Luke 7:1-35 The speech of Jesus in Luke 6 ended with Jesus’ question: “Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?” (6:46). Now, Luke narrates several stories that manifest how people respond to Jesus. More significantly these stories illustrate for us what love looks like. The first episode involves a Roman centurion. As a Roman commander (in charge of 100 men), it was a good idea for him to win the favor... Read more

Luke Devotional Guide: #2 Luke 3:1-6:49

Last updated on: March 11, 2022 at 10:34 am By Rob Dalrymple

Monday: Read Luke 3:1-4:13 As we noted, the Gospel of Luke was written by Luke, who was likely a Gentile, and it was written Theophilus, who was most certainly a Gentile. With this in mind, Note the message of John the Baptist. His message is much stronger in tone in Luke than in the other gospels. He begins by calling them a “brood of vipers” (i.e., children of snakes; 3:7), which certainly alludes to Genesis 3. John demands “fruits in... Read more

How should Western Christians approach the war in Ukraine? A Perspective

Last updated on: March 15, 2022 at 8:24 am By Rob Dalrymple

I have noted before that we all agree that the media is biased and can’t be trusted. Yet, it seems to me that we all believe the media anyways. Ask most anyone for their opinion on a current event and they will likely recite the “facts” they downloaded from their preferred news source. I wonder, then, if, when we say that the media is biased, we actually mean that the media is biased when it disagrees with what I believe,... Read more

Russia and Ukraine through a Missionary’s eyes

Last updated on: March 14, 2022 at 6:18 am By Rob Dalrymple

The following letter is by Dan Culbertson and used by permission “Many people have been asking us how ordinary Russians are responding to the situation in Ukraine and the resulting sanctions. While there are lots of different responses across the whole spectrum from active protest to denial and apathy, the response that strikes me as being most uniquely Russian is fatalism. As a foreigner who has lived in Russia for 15 years, I have been heavily influenced by parts of... Read more
