Gospel of Matthew #2 Devotional Guide

Last updated on: March 11, 2022 at 9:37 pm By Rob Dalrymple

Week 2 [1] Monday: Read Matt 6:1-34 Well, I am not sure there is a more important passage of Scripture than this! Read slowly! Jesus now moves from describing what the new people of God look like and explains what it looks like when we give to the poor, pray, and fast. These were three distinctive practices among Jews living outside of Judea (i.e., away from the Temple). Since they were unable to offer sacrifices, it was giving to the poor,... Read more

The Bible is our only guide? Really? The Bible and evangelicalism #1

Last updated on: February 26, 2022 at 1:39 pm By Rob Dalrymple

In my last post, I noted that evangelicalism is a diverse movement that spans a wide range of Christianity. When we speak of “evangelicals” in an American context, we most often have right-leaning, or far-right, evangelicals in mind. Even then, however, there are a wide variety of evangelicals within America. I also noted that there are traditionally four pillars that define evangelicals: biblicism, cross-centered, conversionism, and activism. This does not mean that all evangelicals believe in all four of these... Read more

Gospel of Matthew #1: devotional guide

Last updated on: February 1, 2022 at 6:36 pm By Rob Dalrymple

A devotional guide to the Gospel of Matthew [1] Week 1 Monday: Read Matt 1:1-25 The second word in the Greek text of Matt 1:1 is the word geneseos, which might be woodenly taken as “Genesis.” The word is used as a title for the book of Genesis (Gen 2:4; 5:1). This suggests that 1:1 is likely a title for the Gospel of Matthew and not just the intro to the genealogy that follows. A good translation for Matt 1:1... Read more

Evangelicalism: Where have all the young people gone?

Last updated on: January 25, 2022 at 7:24 am By Rob Dalrymple

NB: apologies for those who read this blog regularly. This post is essentially the same as last week’s. Somehow it was reduplicated. A new post will be posted next Tues. User error I’m sure! Evangelical Christianity is one of the most popular types of Christianity in the American landscape. Statistics vary as to how many American Christians identify as evangelicals but it is a significant number. Evangelical Christianity is neither a religion nor a denomination. Instead, it is a faith... Read more

Mark week #4 Devotional Guide

Last updated on: January 18, 2022 at 12:55 pm By Rob Dalrymple

Monday: Read 12:41-14:9 The larger context for Mark 12:41-14:9 includes the fact that Jesus entered Jerusalem and the temple and He found no fruit (11:11-14). As a result, He pronounces a coming judgment on the Temple by overturning the tables in the temple courts (11:15-18). The episode of the woman giving her two “copper coins” (note Mark always translates Judean language for his Roman readers: thus, he says, “which amount to a cent”; 42) has been widely misunderstood. Jesus is... Read more

Evangelicalism #1: why are so many young people leaving the church and even their faith?

Last updated on: January 25, 2022 at 7:20 am By Rob Dalrymple

Evangelical Christianity dominated much of the American Church over the last 50+ years. Statistics vary as to how many American Christians identify as evangelicals but it is a significant number. Evangelical Christianity is neither a religion nor a denomination. Instead, it is a faith movement that has grown in importance in the United States over the last five decades. What makes someone an evangelical? Most people fail to realize that self-identified evangelicals reside on both sides of the political aisle.... Read more

Mark week #3 Devotional Guide

Last updated on: January 13, 2022 at 8:06 am By Rob Dalrymple

Monday: Read Mark 10:1-31 The theme of discipleship dominates this section. Jesus and the disciples are heading for Jerusalem where He will die. Jesus is going to become more and more explicit with them explaining what “take up your cross and follow Me” means (8:34). In this passage, Mark tells three encounters that illustrate for us Jesus’ understanding of discipleship with respect to marriage (1-12), children (13-16), and possessions (17-31). Discipleship is not only proper behavior in marriage relations, with... Read more

What is the Church?

Last updated on: January 10, 2022 at 7:24 am By Rob Dalrymple

In my last post, I asked why can’t we just leave the church? I noted that one cannot leave because the Church is the body of Christ. In other words, you can’t leave the church because you are the Church. Now, this could be taken in several ways: one I agree with and one I do not agree with—well, I kinda don’t agree with it. I’ll begin with the latter. First, those who think that a person can’t be a... Read more

A devotional guide to the Gospel of Mark[1] Week 2 Monday: Read Mark 6:33-56; 8:1-10 The reason for skipping over Mark 7, which you will read tomorrow, is that you may read the two feeding stories at the same time. As you read, make note of the comparisons. What things happen in both? What are the differences? A careful reading of the feeding stories notes that there are several allusions to Moses’ leadership among the Israelites. Moses divided the people... Read more

1 Timothy: devotional guide

Last updated on: December 28, 2022 at 4:38 pm By Rob Dalrymple

Monday: Read 1 Tim 3:8-16 Paul continues his teaching on the requirements for ministry by addressing the role of deacon. The word “deacon” literally meant one who waits on tables or serves. It is used in the NT of Jesus (Matt 20:28; Mark 10:45), the apostles (Matt 20:26; Mark 10:43), Timothy (4:6), and as a common designation of a NT leader (1 Cor 3:5; 2 Cor 3:6; 6:4; Eph 3:7; 6:21; Col 1:7, 23, 25; 4:7). In the present passage,... Read more
