Isaiah 58:1-14 Give Me Your Heart (Time)

Last updated on: June 14, 2018 at 5:12 pm   By Jim Erwin

Isaiah 58:1-14 Give Me Your Heart (Time) Isaiah 58:1-14 Give Me Your Heart (Time) is a sermon about giving Jesus your heart by giving Him your time. When you think about this chapter, you think about fasting. Fasting is denying myself something for physical pleasure so that I can concentrate on what God wants me to do. Fasting is giving God my time. In this passage, the key is that I can love God through the way I give my... Read more

Exegetical Fallacies by D.A. Carson

Last updated on: February 6, 2014 at 3:18 am   By Jim Erwin

Introduction The book Exegetical Fallacies is a fine book which shares with the reader a set of mistakes that pastors can make in interpreting the biblical text. These mistakes, called fallacies, are grouped into categories (word study, grammatical, logical, historical). Within each category, a list of fallacies are given, along with many examples about how these fallacies can happen. The author clearly explains why these are fallacies and how they can be avoided. Word Study Fallacies There are sixteen fallacies... Read more

The Cross in the Closet by Tim Kurek

Last updated on: February 5, 2014 at 3:32 am   By Jim Erwin

The title of this book is The Cross in the Closet. That is exactly what Tim Kurek has done. He has put following Jesus in a closet. While I can appreciate the idea that he wishes to understand other people, the fact that he hurt so many other people for an experiment is very disturbing. The book is laid out in parts with names following Biblical order: (1) Genesis (2) The Old Testament (3) The New Testament (4) Revelations. He... Read more

Keeping the Feast by Milton Brasher-Cunningham Keeping the Feast by Milton Brasher-Cunningham is a Christian book review for the Speakeasy book review network.

Letters to Pope Francis by Matthew Fox

Last updated on: May 31, 2018 at 9:02 pm   By Jim Erwin

Letters to Pope Francis by Matthew Fox First, I need to confess that I am not Catholic. As a result, my review may not conform to Catholic thought and practice. Nevertheless, I was mildly surprised by this short book. A dismissed priest takes time to ask the present leader of the Catholic Church questions about what the pope has, can, and should do. In the course of reading this book, I began to question the fact that the author insisted... Read more

My Future Inheritance

Last updated on: June 14, 2018 at 5:19 pm   By Jim Erwin

My Future Inheritance My Future Inheritance is a simple thought from Romans 8:14 about the future inheritance I can receive in a forever family because i have been adopted by God. Don’t you like to get an inheritance? I do. You know that when someone dies, the surviving members get an inheritance. An inheritance is something that is left behind for others. Perhaps it is a tract of land, a house, or something as small as a ring, or necklace.... Read more

Science Watch: White Blood Cells + Acid = Stem Cells

Last updated on: June 15, 2018 at 2:06 pm   By Jim Erwin

Science Watch: White Blood Cells + Acid = Stem Cells This is a game changer. Scientists in Japan have discovered a process that creates stem cells after white blood cells are placed in acid. The video below is from the scientist who discovered this process. They are able to do this with mice. Soon, it may be possible to see the benefits of this process in creating new cells in humans. When I read this, I was amazed how science... Read more

Matthew 14:22-36 Overcoming the Storms of Life

Last updated on: January 31, 2014 at 3:44 am   By Jim Erwin

Storms are the will of God. The people wanted to make Jesus King (John 6:14-15). This is why Jesus sent the disciples in the boat. The disciples had argued “who was the greatest”, so the temptation was there to try to make Jesus King. As we watch the disciples go through this storm, we can rest on several assurances when we go through our storms. ASSURANCES WE CAN REST ON DURING THE STORMS OF LIFE 1. He brought me here.... Read more
