Can't wait to get to UT!

I'm extremely happy to tell you about my new ministry opportunity that's been added to my teaching duties at CAK. On Wednesday nights I will be heading to the University of Tennessee campus to be a weekly teacher for Bible studies sponsored by Campus Crusade for Christ. It'll happen in two weeks. I love working with college students! I've been praying about this for quite some time, especially the chance to get on the UT campus. Please pray for me as I present the Word of God to new Christians and even some non-believers.

John 8:12 - When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

Light was an ever-present symbol in the Feast of Tabernacles, giving rememberance to the pillar of fire that gave light to Israel during the Exodus. Jesus uses the symbol of light applies it to Himself, saying "He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness: Jesus, being the light of the world, helps the Believer walk...

The Greek word for walk is peripateo, and it speaks of making progress; to take advantage of opportunities. The Hebrews added that the word meant "to regulate one's life, to conduct one's self ."

The passage says that those who follow the Light called Jesus will progress in the bright path, not move along in the confusion of darkness. ("I don't know where I'm going, but I'm sure making good time...") How often do we read aboout those who wish to stay busy, but really have no progress. They are enamored with activity more than accomplishment.

What kind of regualtion would you give to your car if nobody established rules or standards of how the car should run? Well, what kind of rules and regulations should this world have if there were no Universal Right by which we set our standards?

What is the purpose of life if we make no preparation for the eternity beyond it? If there is no reason to believe that we live beyond this mortality, then we're truly running onward through the fog. Jesus, however, shines the light that tells us of not only the next step, but the proper path way on down the road.

I headed up to Kroger's tonight to pick up and few odds and ends and met some fellows stranded on the side of the store's driveway. Their month-old car had cut out in the middle of the intersection and the two Spanish-speaking gentlemen were trying to tell me of their dilemma. Strange to me that in this crowded thoroughfare that nobody else stopped to try to help these men - even lean out and ask if they could put in a call via cell phone.

I'm not mechanically inclined but I offered the best help I could, ending in assisting them in pushing the car to a nearby parking lot and trotting over to a local auto parts store. Surprising to me, as I explained the situation to the on-duty manager I was met with a cold stare and a quick refusal to help: "We're not mechanics here. We don't do that kind of stuff."

You don't do what kind of stuff? Try to help a needy motorist?

I'm amazed at the diminshing desire to help our neighbors. We seem to treat others as strangers who should not be dealt with at any costs.

The story is told of Catherine Booth of the Salvation Army of years ago.

"Wherever Catherine Booth went," said Campbell Morgan, "humanity went to hear her. Princes and peeresses merged with paupers and prostitutes." She was known as the matriarch of the organization, and people loved her compassion.
One night, Morgan shared in a meeting with Mrs. Booth and heard her speak to a huge crowd of blue collar workers. Her message was powerful and brought many to Christ. After the meeting, Morgan and Mrs. Booth went to be entertained at a fine home; and the lady of the manor said, "My dear Mrs. Booth, that meeting was dreadful"

"What do you mean, dearie?" asked Mrs. Booth.

"Oh, when you were speaking, I was looking at those people opposite to me. Their faces were so terrible, many of them. I don't think I shall sleep tonight!"

"Why, dearie, don't you know them?" Mrs. Booth asked.

The hostess replied, "Certainly not!"

"Well, that is interesting," Mrs. Booth said. "I did not bring them with me from London; they are your neighbors!"

Greek word "allos"

This is a picture from one of my novels written for Focus on the Family's publication Breakaway. The serialized novel is titled The Silmarillion Weekend, and the science-fiction novel concerned two boys who accidentally brought back CS Lewis and JRR Tolkein through a laboratory accident.

Though the action in the novel concerned the two boys' challenge to get both men back into their own time zones before the 48 hour limit was up, the real story I embedded in the pages concerned how Lewis and Tolkein viewed the modern-day Christian movement. Both men questioned the authenticity of a teens' faith that was built on emotion and entertainment.

The greek word ALLOS...

John 14:16 : "I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter." The Greek word "another" is the word allos, which means "another of the same kind." Christ is telling the disciples as well as every Believer that He was sending back His own Spirit. This means that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Jesus Christ Himself. He wasn't leaving us and deciding on a future date to return. When He ascended as Jesus, He decscended as the Holy Spirit, to indwell the Believer and give him hope and comfort.

It's a very powerful way to explain why the writer said Jesus will never leave or forsake us (Heb. 13:5). He is with the Christian right now!

A bit of a problem for evolutionists

(To the right is the Glacier National Park in Canada)


I love to chat with evolutionists - I find that they are quite frustrated with many geological truths which cannot be explained by their own definitions. Take, for example, the layers of fossils (I speak briefly, here, because i'm not a scientist - I will recommend an excellent source for your further study) that range from the Cretaceous (135 million years ago) to the Cambrian Period (600 million years ago). These layers of fossils would be found in order, obviously with the older periods below the upper ones. What happens if the layers, though, are switched - for example, the Cambrian is above the Cretaceous? Evolutionists might say that because of upheaval (earthquake, etc), the layers could have been dramatically changed. If so, then geologists would find evidence of the violence - crushed rock, powder, etc.





But the evolutionists have a problem with the Glacier National Park in Canada. There is a place called the Lewis Overthrust which has these layers and strata in a jumbled order. The area was first recognized in 1901, a land area over 300 miles long and 15­50 miles wide. The problem is they have found Precambrian strata atop Cretaceous, throwing the "time table" out of whack! The fossils are way out of order. Here's the kicker: there is no crushed rock debris, no powder or evidence of violent action. The contact line between the two different strata is what is kown as a "knife-edge", showing that the strata were water-deposited in that order rahter than mashed and mingled.





The entire evolutionary time scale is in jeopardy. I would suggest you visit a report on this occurence at


http://www.rae.org/revev2.html

and read an excellent report by Douglas Sharp.


"For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight. As it is written: 'He catches the wise in their craftiness'” - I Cor. 3:19


"Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important." - CS Lewis

New site for learning Greek

This semester brings two new classes for me at the Christian Academy of Knoxville Speech and Greek. My students will be learning both in-class and online. To get an early glimpse of our study material, click here:

We're taking it slowly, step by step.

Special prayer request

I was sent some very sad news this morning. Would you put Haley in yur prayers today and in the next months? Here is the e-mail from members of my home church (West Park Baptist Church of Knoxville TN):

"We ask that you would all be in constant prayer for our friend Haley Chitty. She is one of our singles at West Park and has been serving in ministry with Campus Crusade at UT for the past 2 or 3 years. Yesterday morning her dad, mom and two younger brothers were flying back home to Shelby, NC in their Cessna when the plane crashed killing all four of her family members. She was at an annual Campus Crusade meeting when she received the news. Please pray for her as she attempts to make funeral plans and as she tries to make sense of this terrible tragedy."

Please be in deep and serious prayer during this time of extreme tragedy for Haley.

Jer 16:19 O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction...

Happy New Year

How many of us will be martyrs for Christ in 2007?

Of course I'm not talking about the looking-for-a-glorifying- death definition of the word.

The word witness is marturia, whose definition is what one testifies, testimony, i.e. before a judge (Strong's 3141)

John the Baptist was sent by God for a specific ministry: "He came as a witness to testify concerning that light (Jesus), so that through him all men might believe." (John 1:7) The word martyr comes from that word "witness". John came for a specific purpose: to present the truths about the Lamb who was to come. He was obsessed with getting the message out. He had a purpose. He had a goal.

He had a life.

I was just talking with a young person who was mired in, well, nothing. That was the problem: he was settling for mediocrity. I asked him if he had any higher goals in life. What was his desire in pleasing God? What did he want to be doing 12 years from now? How would he set up his household to please Christ?

He had no answer. His life was one of text messaging, iPods and Playstation games. In other words, his life was an innner sanctum of mediocrity. He was not stretching out. He was not trying to witness.

Dwell on the Greek meaning of "martyr" and ask yourself whether you are ready to be a day to day martyr for Jesus Christ.

End of the year thoughts

This is a picture of one of my sisters, Tammi, with her children following close behind. Tammi is the youngest in our family, residing in Pennsylvania near the lovely confines of Hershey. I haven't seen her in a few years and I miss her very much. Thank you for the picture, Tam!

I found it horribly fascinating in watching the eyes of Saddam Hussein in his final moments as the noose was slipped over his neck. What was a man like this thinking? Did he honestly believe that he had lived a life that was pleasing to God, or any god, for that matter? I wonder if he was repentent of the many atrocities her performed? I wonder what were the last words flitting through his mind as he stepped to the threshold of eternity?

"...it is appointed for men to die once and after this {comes} judgment..." Hebrews 9:27

TRUE LOVE

The best marriage advice I heard was when I was assisting in a wedding in Michigan. The preacher told the couple:

"You know, the are many kinds of marriage loves. One is the IF marriage love, as in,'IF you keep a good job, I will love you,' or 'IF you remain beautiful, I will still love you." Another is BECAUSE love, as in 'BECAUSE you are talented, I love you' or 'BECAUSE you have a great career planned out, I still love you.'"

The preacher went on to say,"The truest love is the IN SPITE OF love. It says 'IN SPITE OF the fact that you have had disapointments, I still love you,' and 'IN SPITE OF the fact that you have an illness that won't go away, I still love you." It's the love of 1 Cor 13 and it's a love that will make your marriage enduring and endearing."

How do evolutionists explain...?

Take a look at the above photos. This is known as the London Hammer, or London Artifact. In June of 1936 Mr. and Mrs. Max Hahn were hiking along the Red Creek near the small town of London, Texas, and found a small rock nodule with a piece of wood protruding from it. Later on, Max Hahn's son George broke open the rock and found the rest of the hammer, surrounded by a solid mass of cretaceous rock. The handle was partially PETRIFIED. The Hahns filed the metal to see if it was really metal; the spot has not rusted yet, even though it has been about forty-five years. The hammer contains 96% iron, 2.6% chlorine, and 0.74% sulfur.

The question is: is this hammer a hoaz? Numerous studies have concluded that it is not. What is its significance? That the rock/fossilization time frame cannot be as old as evolutionists and still coincide with their estimate of the origin of man. This hammer was supposed ly found in the Cretaceous layer, opening the argument that the introduction of mankind was not as old as evolutionists say.

Take a look at the information about this intriguing find.

Chara Aneklaletos

1Pe 1:8
and though you have not seen Him (Jesus), you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory,

Chara Aneklaletos - joy inexpressible - the kind of joy that is so filling and powerful that you cannot describe it.

Think of the times you were so filled with joy that you could barely describe it...

...that surprise birthday party your family had for you.
...the reunion with your best friend after all those years.
...that special Christmas gift you thought you'd never get.
...the delivery of your first child.
...the award and recognition you received when you had no idea.

This same kind of joy is mentioned here as both when you first came to Christ and also as you realize what He can do for you. He's a Counsellor. Protector. Savior. Friend.

Especially friend.

A friend who forgives and forgets. A friend who listens, really listens. A friend who is always nearby. A friend who cries when you cry, laughs when you laugh, and picks you up when you've fallen.

I see why Peter gives the best possible explanation in this relationship: it can't be explained at all! It's a joy beyond words.

Steve came to my office, bitter and angry. But within the hour, he had his questions answered about Jesus, eternity, sorrow, love, and hope. Steve opened up his heart and let Christ take over. I will always remember the joy that came over his face. Steve was a changed man. He tried to describe the release, joy, excitement and hope he now had, but he couldn't get it out.

He didn't need to. Words wouldn't fit.

But his life helped make the description. Steve's life was one great big nonverbal description of his love and joy in Christ.

JOYOUS CHRISTMAS TO YOU!

Here is a picture of Peter and me taken some months ago. Believe it or not, this was on Halloween. We were part of a Trunk or Treat outreach to the city.

Each car was parked in our church parking lot (at least five acres of lot) and filled with enough candy to give away to little ones who came by. At my estimate there were 50 cars or more who participated. There was a decoration contest. With no theme in mind, Peter dressed in Steeler gear while I wore my graduation robe. The car? We grabbed about twnety strings of lights and covered the car. No theme in mind (which drive my wife Jill batty - "you're supposed to have a theme!")

Guess what? We won first place!

The reason I post this picture today is to remind us all of the fun memories we've had this year in the Lord's service. It has been great fun serving the Lord Jesus Christ. I think of the Theology Camp we had in Gatlinburg. I think of the times I've debated my students in class, preparing theme for the naysayers of the world. I think of the middle school kids I teach each Sunday. I remember the Christmas concert we've just presented to the community. So many enjoyable times with my family on trips and special evenings of clowning around or even having quiet Bible reading together.

Then, of course, we've enjoyed the day with Marlene and Robert, my in-laws. The Lord blessed the day with great closeness and relaxation.

May you have a wonderful day. Thank Jesus for His wonderful gift.

CHRISTMAS EVE

The birth of the baby Jesus stands as the most significant event in all history, because it has meant the pouring into a sick world of the healing medicine of love which has transformed all manner of hearts for almost two thousand years... Underneath all the bulging bundles is this beating Christmas heart. - George Matthew Adams

-----

I believe we'll be having a pretty steady cold rain tomorrow morning and continuing throughout the day. Good! We'll sit inside and sip coffee and enjoy the warmth inside.

-----

Nicholas is in the front room assembling an early Christmas present from a friend: a camping tent. Yes, he'd going to try to construct it in our living room. Peter is upstairs sorting out his stocking stuffer gifts in order to pop them in everyone's stocking in a few hours. Jill is in the bedroom, taping up the final list of presents while Julianne sits and chats about Dora the Explorer. I'm going to go outside in a few minutes and start our "Yule Log" fire, even though it's mainly a tepee of wood from the yard, not an actual log. Our Christmas lights are on and the tree is lit. We'll be sitting down in a few minutes to enjoy a time in the fireplace room. I am so thankful that Jill has a temporary respite from her illness. The stress of college has left Nicholas temporarily, and Peter enjoys not having to study anything at all. Julianne is cooing over a tiny white tree with blue lights that I assembled just for her.

This has the makings of a nice holiday. Only five and a half hours to go.

Amazing to me...

The way that God chose to show us salvation's plan. It could have been by force, with a Messiah riding hard from the clouds, sword in hand and a fire-breathing steed beneath Him. God could have made salvation a high-intelligence attainment - a Rubik's Cube challenge with the afterlife as the prize for the intellectually gifted. God could have made salvation available through the arrival of an appealing personality with a velvet voice and a winning smile. Who doesn't love an attractive face?

Instead He came as a child among a brutish race. He made Himself vulnerable to the short-sighted and selfish race that populated this Earth. In doing so, He made it possible for every man, woman and child to see Him attainable. Race, color, creed - they all broke down in the pursuit of the carpenter's son.

He made it posslbe, and we celebrate this fact.

Don't ever let the gift-giving get in the way of this truth.

Eve of Christmas Eve

What a great time. Former students calling us and stopping by for cups of coffee and chatter. The final minute shopping. The Christmas concert tonight (I get to give the opening welcome and watch a tape of an interview I had with children about Christmas a la "Kids Say the Darnedest Things")

And Christmas letters.

I will tell you a secret.

I LOVE THEM.

I hear so many people complain about them. Send the letters to me. I love catching up with old friends.

Sure, some people brag a bit too much or give an embellishment here and there. Look, these letters are like the high school yearbook. It's a gentle ego thing and we all know it. Enjoy them! Brag about yourself! I promise I'll be impressed. Give me your latest news and your proudest accomplishments.

I thank my God upon every remembrance of you (Phil. 1:3)

I enjoy digging back into my memory and recalling your conversations, joys, challenges, victories and intelligence. I am gladdened by hearing of your growing strength in the faith. And, yes, you can throw in a few extra words about your kid winning a karate tournament or you bringing home the bowling trophy.

That's the stuff of friendship. That's the stuff I love.

Some reasonable thoughts

The family is in the hyper shopping-and-wrapping mode today. Hint: if you want to beat the crowds around here, go shopping around midnight. The boys and I have done it twice and it's not too bad.
------

Thank you for your prayers. Jill is feeling much better. The current tests have come back with positive results and helps. We'll keep marching on and trust the Lord for Jill's strengthening. Two weeks ago, Jill collapsed at church and it has been the first priority to see her get the treatment she needs.
---------

HERE ARGUMENTS THAT I HAVE ENCOUNTERED ... AND YOU MAY, TOO.
Let's look at the statements:

"There are no absolute truths"

I hear this one quite often, and to be frank, it puzzles me. The statement that "There are no absolute truths" is an absolute statement itself! It is self-defeating. Why continue along that vein?

"What is true for you is not true for me and what is true for me may not be true for you"

But what if I believe that relativism is false, then would the truth be that relativism is false? If you disagree, then we have a universal quandry - somebody has to be right on this subject. Let's say you tell me that I am wrong - then relativism collapses and the statement above dies on the vine. You had previously said that everyone makes up their own right and wrong. But what if you say that i am right - then my assertion that relativism is false stands and the believe dies as well.

I simpy don't see how people can hold to relativism and call it a viable belief.

"Rome did not fall because of external forces such as the invasion by the barbarians. Rome had no sufficient inward base; the barbarians only completed the breakdown---and Rome gradually became a ruin."
Francis Schaeffer

The joy of apantesis

After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. - 1 Thess. 4:17

To Meet, apantesis

Definitions:
as an action of encountering
to come near to and to meet, ...the word was the official welcome of a newly arrived dignitary
Colin Brown, ed., New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology: "The ancient expression for the civic welcome of an important visitor or the triumphal entry of a new ruler into the capital city and thus to his reign is applied to Christ. "Then we who are alive, who are left, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord (eis apantesin tou Kyriou) in the air; and so we shall always be with the Lord." The same thoughts occur in the parable of the ten virgins. The virgins leave to meet the bridegroom (eis apantesin tou nymphiou) i.e. the Lord, to whom they wish to give a festive reception (Matt. 25:1).

This word apantesis occurs three times in the New Testament, first used in the parable of the ten virgins: "Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him (i.e., welcome him in and celebrate his arrival)" (Matt. 25:6). The second time is when Paul was traveling and the disciples in Rome went out to to meet him and welcome him in.

Ah, then we have the 1 Thessalonians passage, where we (during the rapture) will welcome Him back and celebrate. We'll celebrate! This powerful word apantesis gives an idea of what part we will play in His magnificent return.

Praise God! Jesus is coming back. No Christmas celebration will equal the wild festivities of that day.

THE UGLIES

Luke chapter 2:

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ[a] the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."

My favorite part of the Nativity story involves the shepherds. The shepherds were how many people would today consider junkmen or sewage workers: necessary but lowly. Unfair, but nevertheless the opinions of many. Shepherds stood out in the fields at all hours, working "overtime" with no special recognition or thanks. They did not get a chance to further their education or climb the corporate ladder. Shepherds were looked down upon in the first century that it is said that their testimony in court would not hold up due to the lowly status of their lifestyle.

Yet God chose the "lowly" to deliver the message.

I like that.

I identify with them.

Thank God for the "uglies." Thank the Lord for allowing those of us who are unattractive and menial to carry His word and have such a special ministry. These shepherds weren't vying for a new job or a higher reputation. Based upon who they were, they were "stuck" in a niche in life, yet they received honor along with the magi. isn't it interesting, just like the wise men, we would never know their names? Such is the honor of serving the Lord. The recognition comes from Him, the greatest audience anyone would ever want.

I like these fellows. Blue-collar, dirt-under-their-fingernails types of guys who were privileged to see a universal event in one moment. And, like the humble men they were, they didn't want to keep it to themselves They shared it.

So must we.

"I care not where I go, or how I live, or what I endure so that I may save souls. When I sleep I dream of them; when I awake they are first in my thoughts…no amount of scholastic attainment, of able and profound exposition of brilliant and stirring eloquence can atone for the absence of a deep impassioned sympathetic love for human souls." - David Brainerd

The Prophecies

Would people dare to say that the Bible is not a supernatural book? The first thing I ask them is, how can you then explain the fulfilled prophecies, separated by centuries? I have yet to receive an answer from a nonbeliever. here are but a few of the scores of prophecies concerning Christ as found in the Scriptures:

JESUS WOULD BE BORN IN BETHLEHEM: "But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you One will go forth for Me to be ruler in Israel. His goings forth are from long ago, from the days of eternity." (Micah 5:2)

FULFILLED: And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, in order to register, along with Mary, who was engaged to him, and was with child.... And she gave birth to her first-born son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. (Luke 2:4-5, 7)

JESUS WOULD BE BORN OF A VIRGIN: "Therefore the LORD Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel. (Isaiah 7:14)

FULFILLED: "Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city in Galilee, called Nazareth, to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the descendants of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.... And the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary; for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb, and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus." (Luke 1:26-27, 30-31)

HE WOULD COME FROM EGYPT: "and out of Egypt I called My son." (Hosea 11:1)

FULFILLED: And he arose and took the Child and His mother by night, and departed for Egypt; and was there until the death of Herod, that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, saying, "Out of Egypt did I call My Son." (Matthew 2:14-15)

HE WILL BE OF GALILEE: "...later on He shall make it glorious, by the way of the sea, on the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles. The people who walk in darkness will see a great light; those who live in a dark land, the light will shine on them." (Isaiah 9:1-2)

FULFILLED: "and leaving Nazareth, He came and settled in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali. This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, "The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles-- "The people who were sitting in darkness saw a great light, and to those who were sitting in the land and shadow of death, upon them a light dawned." (Matthew 4:13-16)

TRIUMPHAL ENTRY ON A DONKEY: Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; He is just and endowed with salvation, Humble, and mounted on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a donkey. (Zechariah 9:9)

FULFILLED:And they brought the colt to Jesus and put their garments on it; and He sat upon it.... And those who went before, and those who followed after, were crying out, "Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord;"... And He entered Jerusalem and came into the temple; and after looking all around, He departed for Bethany with the twelve, since it was already late. (Mark 11:7, 9, 11)

...these are just a few of the many, many prpheices. As time allows, I will show you more. Copy these down and share them with others!
