The Father’s House in Ancient Israel

Last updated on: November 13, 2018 at 6:25 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

This blog post and the previous one are word studies on the household and house in ancient Israel.[1] The family and home used to be the center of society, something we seem to have forgotten over the ages. Perhaps these posts will serve as a brief reminder of the family at the center of the good life. The Father’s House The houses in ancient Israel are distinct. In fact, architecture shows that they are unique among Israel’s neighboring nations. The house... Read more

Motivation and the Will

Last updated on: November 8, 2018 at 3:48 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

Although the question of motive is a popular one, especially in all all of our crime syndicate shows, the question of motivation has always been a key to psychological musings as well. It’s the “why” behind our behavior, our “willingness” to do certain things. To isolate and study aspects of our interior life is very artificial. However, these are areas of study where questions overlap between Theologians and psychologists, or ministers and helping professionals.[1] Although we know that humans are... Read more

The Household in Ancient Israel

Last updated on: November 7, 2018 at 9:23 am By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

This blog and the next are brief word studies on the family in Ancient Israel.[1] The household is the center of society, something that may have been forgotten by all of us with time. Household in Israel The first thing we need to understand is that there are a couple of predominant themes when we talk about the role of the household in ancient Israel. These are core themes throughout the Hebrew Bible. Solomon says: Unless the LORD builds the... Read more

Eugene Peterson & The Message

Last updated on: November 2, 2018 at 4:54 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

There are times when an event marks a significant change in the household of God, whether locally or regionally, nationally or worldwide. It’s always good to consider pausing for a moment to reflect, despite the trajectory one is on. In this case, the passing of Eugene Peterson, translator of The Message, seems to eclipse the present path of my series. I can’t really boast of any personal connection with Eugene Peterson. However, Eugene Peterson did influence family, friends, and acquaintances. ... Read more

Participating in God’s Will

Last updated on: October 30, 2018 at 7:57 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

Sometimes we find ourselves doing busywork in the Kingdom of God, active in our congregations, but carrying a nagging feeling of dissatisfaction. Unfortunately, we can become very busy doing the Lord’s work, but not doing God’s will. When we wake up to this insight, we often search frantically for answers. Honestly, most of Christendom is split over how to define God’s will and all the ways it plays out in our lives. I won’t be able to answer those questions... Read more

The Regeneration of the Soul

Last updated on: October 27, 2018 at 12:10 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

I always feel that it is too artificial to try to dissect the human person, as if the interior life is so easily divided.[1] Even if there are distinct inward parts of the psyche (body, soul, spirit, etc.), do we all really agree on what they are? On the other hand, there are Biblical terms that cannot be ignored. To gain a better understanding of humanity, it may be helpful to explore the use of these terms in isolation, even... Read more

Killing vs. Counteracting Sin: Meditation and Other Practices

Last updated on: October 24, 2018 at 12:48 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

We’re in a series on a specific type of sin in our day and age – acedia.[1] It has been confused with laziness, apathy, or even despair. However Early Church Fathers like John Cassian call it The Noonday Demon, and for good cause. It’s like a fatigue of the soul, usually from busywork and distractions. That’s why we’re highly susceptible to it today. Do we kill it like other sins, or counteract it? Cassian suggests counteracting it with spiritual practices. We’ll... Read more

On the Mystery of Spirit and Salvation

Last updated on: October 18, 2018 at 3:26 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

I tentatively continue on the makeup of man, from some previous seminary research.[1] Ancient Israel and the Hebrew Bible seems to teach that we are not a sum total of parts, but rather a whole. The Ancient Greeks develop somewhat of a dichotomy between the material and the spiritual, at least among the Aristotelians and Gnostics. We know that in our day, there is still at least one major proponent of dualism, Tony Bennett. No one can sing “Body and... Read more

The Deadly Sin of Acedia

Last updated on: October 16, 2020 at 12:07 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

Scripture and leaders in the Early Church speak of deadly vices or sins. We would be shocked to discover how many of these are still in full operation in our society today. As this series progresses, we narrow in on one particular scourge in our day, the deadly sin of acedia.[1] The Deadly Sin of Acedia Gyula Derkovits | Workers in the Field | 1920 | Public Domain Richard Foster says something interesting.

The Image, the Body, and Renewal

Last updated on: October 12, 2018 at 4:37 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

What can we glean from the Creation accounts about the body? Does the Word of God speak concretely about the physical body? How far do we go in applying the terms image and likeness of God (the imago Dei)? Do we practically apply scriptural principles to our everyday? Could we incorporate these views into our approach as ministers, therapists, etc.? I simply cannot tackle all these questions (and those following) in this portion of the series.[1] However, sometimes it’s better... Read more
