THE PROVABLE, THE PROBABLE AND FAITH 


What science calls truth 

Is in the limited space

Of the immediately PROVABLE, 

Yet science always goes

On a spending spree 

On the basis of the PROBABLE

 

Science invites men of faith 

To drink themselves senseless 

Where it awards itself  medals

For deciphering an INCH

Of the workings of the universe 

And GUESSING a million miles more


Faith claims TRUTH 

And calmly waits its unfolding

So, faith smiles at science

Like an expert smiles at an upstart

While science lectures from discoveries

As if it was their CREATOR

The Story of Redemption as told through Israel

-
One very useful way of "unlocking" the Bible is to check how the Old Testament tells the story of the New Testament. After all the OT is said to be a shadow of the NT (Col 2:17, Heb 10:1). What would be our take on the following? Where do the realities of these shadows occur in the NT? 1. Journey to Egypt 2. Slaves to Pharaoh 3. The “futility” of all the plagues but one to weaken Pharaoh's grip 4. The Passover Lamb 5. Deaths of the firstborns that broke Pharaoh's grip 6. Pharaoh's pursuit 7. The Red Sea 8. The Desert 9. Pillar of Fire and Cloud 10. Manna 11. The Attacks in the Desert 12. The Apostasy and Punishments 13. The Midian Mix and the Grumblings 14. The Bronze serpent 15. Jordan 16. Manna stops 17. Warfare in Canaan 18. The Law 19. The Ark 20. The Tabernacle 21. The Gradual Take over If you really want to build people up, do not shy away from doing this. God contracted Israel mainly for the purpose of telling this story, to make salvation meaningful ...

BIBLE THROWBACK

-
The Bible explains itself. The Lord Jesus and the writers of the New Testament books and letters were proven by the Old Testament Scripture (OT). Their hearers and readers generally knew the OT context of their statements. Here are five key samples:   "FISHERS OF MEN" THROWBACK ““Therefore behold, the days are coming,” says the LORD, “that it shall no more be said, ‘The LORD lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,’ but, ‘The LORD lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands where He had driven them.’ For I will bring them back into their land which I gave to their fathers. “Behold, I will send for many FISHERMEN,” says the LORD, “and they shall fish them; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.” Jeremiah 16:14-16 NKJV “And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called P...

WE CAME TO PREACH CHRIST

-
*WE CAME TO PREACH* We came to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. Some of our hearers asked us, "What shall we do to be saved from the wrath of God reserved for sinners?" We told them to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus, and God will forgive them, give them power to serve Him and to fulfil the desires of the flesh no more. Before they could make a move one young guy shouted loudly, "Hell no! You've got it all wrong. Don't start with REPENT. How can these sinners stop sinning without the power of God transforming them FIRST?" We said, "But that is what the Lord Jesus preached in Matthew 4:17, and asked us in Luke 24:47 to preach". By this time, the people who asked what to do had started dispersing ... This guy continued, "By repent, Jesus didn't mean stop sinning, or regret whatever wrong you have done, because He knows you have no capacity to do that. He just meant change your mind about Him. In Greek it's cal...
