Evangelicals and the Bible gone bad: what to do? Bible and Evangelicalism #2

Last updated on: March 28, 2022 at 6:14 am By Rob Dalrymple

Many have experienced those who thump their Bibles as justification for why they are right and everyone else is wrong. Such people decry the dangers of Muslims, Communists, and liberals. They vehemently reject the conclusions of godless scientists who are trying to undermine the plain, literal reading of the Bible. They are convinced that the Covid outbreak is clear evidence of the fourth Seal of Rev 6:7-8, and a governmental conspiracy so that we will unwittingly receive the Covid-vaccine, which... Read more

Matthew Devotional Guide #6: Matthew 24:1-28:20

Last updated on: February 21, 2022 at 9:10 am By Rob Dalrymple

Monday: Read Matt 24-25 Today’s reading presents us with Jesus’ fifth sermon (Note 26:1 clearly marks the end of Jesus’ speech). Since I have written much about this sermon,[2] and since it corresponds to Mark 13, which we have already discussed in our Mark devotional, and since today’s reading is longer, I will keep the remarks here brief.[3] The 5 sermons in Matthew are quite likely another example of Matthew’s effort to portray Jesus as the new Moses. Sermon on... Read more

Ukraine: “Wars and rumors of wars”: a sign of the times, or a sign of all times? A Christian response

Last updated on: February 27, 2022 at 10:18 am By Rob Dalrymple

So here we go again. Prophetic pundits have seized the opportunity to grab the limelight. Instead of encouraging Christians to weep with those who weep (Rom 12:15) and to serve as peacemakers in the midst of conflict (Matt 5:9), these self-proclaimed prophesy “experts” want us to believe that the war in Ukraine serves as evidence that the end times are among us. As a result, they see war as a time to rejoice because in the midst of war God... Read more

Matthew devotional guide #5 Matt 20:1-23:6

Last updated on: February 14, 2022 at 9:42 am By Rob Dalrymple

Monday: Read Matt 20:1-34 The Parable of the Workers in the field has been widely debated. We have a couple of textual clues that may assist us. First, the last verse of the parable (16) is a repetition of 19:30. This inclusio suggests that the Parable illustrates Jesus’ assertion that “the first will be last.” Since 19:30 appears to be a response to Peter’s statement that the disciples have left everything to follow Jesus, it may be that the Parable...

Blessed are the poor! Really? Doesn’t Jesus mean: “the poor in Spirit?”

Last updated on: February 7, 2022 at 11:45 am By Rob Dalrymple

As some of you know, I have been blessed to be teaching a number of groups of pastors and leaders via zoom for the past 9 months now. When we began Determinetruth last Spring, I didn’t imagine I would be ministering to pastors in India. But the Lord has opened the door and now I am meeting several times per month with pastors from all over the country of India. Recently I was talking with another pastor, and he was... Read more

Matthew Devotional Guide #4

Last updated on: February 7, 2022 at 11:32 am By Rob Dalrymple

Monday: Read Matt 16:1-20 The passage begins with the Pharisees and the Sadducees asking for a sign (1). They were primarily concerned with whether Jesus was claiming to be the Messiah. If He was, this was a matter of serious concern for them. They would have to give an account to Rome. Thus, they needed to decide if they were going to back Jesus or not. Of course, their concerns were self-centered. They did not like Roman rule. But, and... Read more

Legalized Sports Betting: “You are all Caesars”: No thanks, I think I’ll pass!

Last updated on: February 14, 2022 at 11:23 am By Rob Dalrymple

I live in Arizona which is one of the many states that has legalized sports betting. It seems that we are being inundated during sporting events (and oddly my TV only gets sports channels. Really weird. As a result, this is all I get to watch) with sports betting commercials. And I mean inundated. If this were a theology discussion, we would say that sports betting commercials are omnipresent. Now, I suppose that many turn a blind eye to sports... Read more

Revelation and the 3rd seal: Covid-19 revisited

Last updated on: February 5, 2024 at 7:54 am By Rob Dalrymple

Amidst the fervor of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting chaos that many societies are experiencing, there are always some who are using this as an opportunity to cry out that the end of the world is coming! According to some, and I am relieved that it has only been a few, Covid-19 is proof that the plagues of the book of Revelation, in particular the seven Seals of Revelation 6:1-8:1, are happening and the imminent return of Jesus is...

Matthew Devotional Guide #3 Matthew 11-15

Last updated on: February 2, 2022 at 8:44 am By Rob Dalrymple

Monday: Read Matt 11:1-30 John the Baptist’s inquiry, “are you the Expected One?” (2) is quite amazing. It is not, however, if we were to understand the Jewish expectations of the coming Messiah and then compare that to the ministry and work of Jesus. If we did, we would see that Jesus could not have been the Messiah since He clearly did not meet their expectations. Jesus showed no signs of gathering an army. There was no message of any...

Militarism and Ukraine

Last updated on: February 7, 2022 at 12:08 pm By Rob Dalrymple

We all know and agree that our media is biased and that it is hard to know what is true. We all know it. But very few of us believe it. What do I mean? I mean that we still get our news from somewhere. And we tend to trust the “somewhere” from which we get our news. In other words, we still believe what we read, hear, and see because we only read, hear, and see from places we... Read more
