- How We Are To Treat Others August 5For your consideration, a quote by the Puritan Richard Sibbs from The Bruised Reed. Brackets were added by me. [Martin] Bucer [who influenced the development of Calvinism] was a deep and a moderate divine; upon long experience he resolved to refuse [reject] none [no one] in whom he saw aliquid Christi, something of Christ. [Even] […]
- An Excellent Article on Depression July 18This article by Todd Pruitt is good enough to post a link to by itself: The Hard Apprenticeship of Sorrow
- A Prayer for Bible Reading June 21Help me to gain profit by what I read, as treasure beyond all treasure, a fountain which can replenish my dry heart, its waters flowing through me as a perennial river on-drawn by thy Holy Spirit. Enable me to distil from its pages faithful prayer that grasps the arm of thy omnipotence, achieves wonders, obtains […]
- What Providence Isnāt May 10This is a repost from a little over a year ago. Iāve shortened one quote and added another by John Owen that I recently read. Providence is that continued exercise of the divine energy whereby the Creator upholds all his creatures, is operative in all that transpires in the world, and directs all things to […]
- How Does God Guide Us? April 19This is a repost from 2014: How does the Lord guide his people? Assuring us a Christian life with a beginning, a middle and an end, with the end being the tying up of all loose ends? It is an interesting fact that the apostles, in giving much doctrinal and practical guidance, never once (as […]
- The Fear of God April 15Repost from September 19, 2016: The fear of God has been one of my favorite subjects. Unfortunately, itās very misunderstood. This may be partly because it isnāt mentioned much anymore, and many tend to understand the word fear as fright, and only fright. The fear of God is a very multi-faceted doctrine (teaching). It doesnāt […]
- Recommendation for Your First Puritan Book March 29Of the Puritan books that Iāve read so far, what I would recommend as the first book for someone whoās interested in starting to read them would be All Things for Good, by Thomas Watson. This is an excellent exposition of Romans 8:28. In addition to being relatively short and easy to read, itās representative […]
- 2 Corinthians 12:8 and Answer to Prayer March 26I just found that Iāve been blogging for over 10 years, although not very much lately. II thougt I would post some from the archives: 2 Corinthians 2 Corinthians 12:8-9 So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger […]
- Weāre not better than Old Testament Christians March 8Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. Psalm 73:25 KJV D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones describes how we arenāt any better than Old Testament Christians in his book Faith On Trial, a great exposition of Psalm 73. One often ļ¬nds a tendency amongst Christian people to […]
- A Prayer On Prayer February 19May the matter of my prayer be always wise, humble, submissive, obedient, scriptural, Christ-like. Give me unwavering faith that supplications are never in vain, that if I seem not to obtain my petitions I shall have larger, richer answers, surpassing all that I ask or think. Unsought, thou hast given me the greatest gift, the […]
Of course, we all know there’s conjecture about the translations + pronunciations of the tetragrammaton on account of Jewish traditions not to speak the name aloud, and the tendancy of their scribes to write in short-hand. š
But indeed, our God is our warrior and our strength, lest we forget this and think to raise a sword in his name without his saying so.
Ha. I was going to use one without the tetragrammaton so there wouldn’t be any confusion.
Jeff
hehehehe, it’s ok š
You couldn’t slip that one by us š xD
That was a nice verse!
No emoticons from me though! *smile!*
Why did you translate the tetragrammaton as “Lord” the first time but as “Yahweh” the second? (For what it’s worth, I don’t think it was ever pronounced “Yahweh.”)
–Joel
Joel that’s HCSB and it was their verse for the day. I didn’t give any thought to the translation. I certainly can’t translate!
Jeff
Joel H,
I too wondered. I was a bit curious about the same. Perhaps, style?
I don’t mind either way, I mean there are so many names for God that the list is endless, and perhaps that is the point!
God could be trying to take the legalism out of it – not that I can say for sure, of course, but yeah… I think he knows when we’re talking to him š (or about him)
