In my last post I argued that although Israel does not currently possess a divine right to Palestine, they will someday inherit the land promises that God made to Abraham. This will ultimately happen someday in the future, when, to use Paul’s words in Romans 11, national Israel turns in faith to the Messiah and is once [...] Who is the man who fears the LORD? Him will he instruct in the way that he should choose. His soul shall abide in well-being, and his offspring shall inherit the land. (Psalm 25:12-13) This is the first of three posts in which I want to argue that as Gentile believers in Jesus Christ, we share an [...] If the conditions of God’s covenant with Israel mean anything, then the answer to this question must be “no, not now”. The reason for this is simple. Israel is currently under God’s curse (see Deut 27-28), outside of the covenant because of her disobedience. In the words of Yahweh in Hosea 1, Israel is currently “not [...] In case anyone’s interested, I’ve reviewed A Case for Historic Premillennialism: An Alternative to “Left Behind” Eschatology (edited by Craig L.

He was referring specifically to the issue of the Millennium, but his comments obviously apply to lesser issues (like the timing of the rapture). (And obviously his comments don’t apply to fundamental doctrines like the second coming and final judgment.) Here’s what he said: “I think that [...] William Carey certainly can’t be accused of being unevangelistic. And yet he was an unabashed Calvinist (yes, all 5 of ‘em), and in fact, it was his God-centered Calvinist (Pauline) theology drove his passion for people, missions, and evangelism. Once, after preaching from Acts 14:16 and 17:30 that God commands all men everywhere to repent, Carey was [...] I first saw this video a year or two ago. Very powerful. Makes me want to be a missionary. [...] The Pleasures of God, my all-time favorite book (next to the Bible) is now available as a 5-part audio/video seminar. If you don’t ever read the book, at least listen to or watch this seminar. The Pleasures of God, Part 1 |
