Why Greek Matters (Part 5) – Closing our bowels (1 John 3:17)
I’m not sure if you’ll believe me, but I am not preparing to launch into a discussion on bodily processes, but rather, New Testament Greek and the New Testament concept of love. I have often heard sincere Christian people define love as something like “acting to promote the well-being of others.” I can understand, both the perspective that would see this definition as initially odd, as well as those who would affirm it in reaction to s

Prayers for Revival – Gifts of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 1:5ff)
In general, Jewish people reject Jesus as being the Messiah for one central reason. It is because Jesus did not do what the Messiah was expected to do. Christians speak of Jesus “dying for their sin,” “saving their soul,” or “getting into heaven,” but none of these concepts were anywhere close to Jewish expectation for the Messiah. For them to accept such notions would not be in continuity with Judaism, but would be a completely different religion.

Why Greek Matters (Part 4) – The Lamb is Worthy (Rev. 5)
Jesus is worthy to take the scroll and open its seals. Jesus is worthy to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing. What is the relationship between these two ascriptions of worthiness? Why precisely is Jesus worthy? In Revelation 4 and 5 we see a dramatic scene of the heavenly temple in which God’s limitless beauty is being lauded with unceasing adoration. Chapter 5 centers around a scroll. What is the scroll?

Why Greek Matters (Part 3) – Into the Age
The word eternity never occurs in the New Testament. Neither does the word forever. This is the third part in a series attempting to show some of the difference it makes in reading or studying the New Testament using Greek rather than only English. Since I teach NT Greek, I am often asked regarding the purpose or benefits of learning Greek to study the Bible. Unfortunately there is no magic in Greek which suddenly makes the Bible unlock its secrets.
