(Gal 6:1 ESV) Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.

1. “Spirit of gentleness”? Shouldn’t we rather rebuke and condemn! It sounds as though Paul is being soft on sin. Why should we be gentle when it comes to our brothers? Continue reading →

How God Became King, Part 2

Posted on June 20, 2012 by Jay F Guin

We’re considering How God Became King: The Forgotten Story of the Gospels by N. T. Wright. It’s another marvelous book by a man who just keeps turning out marvelous books.

In the previous post, we considered two of four “speakers” playing the music of God — or Gospel themes — that Wright says need to be re-balanced so that we more truly hear what the Gospels are saying to us. Continue reading →

How God Became King, Part 1

Posted on June 19, 2012 by Jay F Guin

I’ve just finished reading How God Became King: The Forgotten Story of the Gospels by N. T. Wright. It’s another marvelous book by a man who just keeps turning out marvelous books.

But resist the temptation to skip straight to the end. You have to read the early parts of the book to really understand the conclusions. Continue reading →

(Gal 5:2 ESV) 2 Look: I, Paul, say to you that if you accept circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you.

1. Is Paul saying that circumcision is a sin? (Gal 6:15)

Not at all. He says that circumcision does not matter. The sin is insisting that circumcision is a requirement to be saved. Continue reading →
