8 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief…

1 This is now the second letter that I am writing to you, beloved. In both of them I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, 2 that you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles, 3 knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffin…

17These are springs without water and mists driven by a storm, for whom the black darkness has been reserved. 18For speaking out arrogant words of vanity they entice by fleshly desires, by sensuality, those who barely escape from the ones who live in error, 19promising them freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by what a man i…

The Book of the Covenant Exodus 19 begins one of the most important sections in the Bible. It’s when Israel arrives at Mount Sinai. Their stay at Mount Sinai is the heart of the Pentateuch.[1] Chapters 19-24 is the heart of the heart. Moses calls it the “Book of the Covenant” (24:7). This “Book” has a prologue (ch. 19) and epilogue (ch. 24). In bet…

Daring, self-willed, they do not tremble when they revile angelic majesties, 11whereas angels who are greater in might and power do not bring a reviling judgment against them before the Lord. 12But these, like unreasoning animals, born as creatures of instinct to be captured and killed, reviling where they have no knowledge, will in the destruction…

Yahweh is Savior and Lord Last week we saw how grace is the basis of how God relates to his people. This wasn’t a new development when Jesus died on the cross. From the beginning, God loved his people simply because he loved them, not because of their performance. Yahweh made Israel his son (Ex. 4:22-23) before he gave them the law. He set them fre…

Does God Like You? Does God love you? Many of you don’t hesitate to answer “yes” to this question. But are we as sure of this as we seem to be? Kelly Kapic, in his book You’re Only Human, says that our automatic “yes” doesn’t always reflect our internal world and that underneath our quick responses we’re not so sure. He says that asking another que…

4 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment; 5 if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly; 6 if by turning the cities of Sod…

1But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3And in their greed th…

1When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son. 2The more they were called, the more they went away; they kept sacrificing to the Baals and burning offerings to idols. 3Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk; I took them up by their arms, but they did not know that I healed them. 4I led them with cords of kindness,a with t…

Theological Function of the Wilderness In our journey with Israel in the book of Exodus, we’re with them in the wilderness. They’ve been saved from death in Egypt by the blood of a spotless lamb and delivered from the floodwaters of judgment at the Red Sea and are following Moses into the wilderness on their way to the Promised Land. We’ll arrive a…
