One of the most enjoyable parts about the Bible is coming to the Bereans when the Apostles were talking about the things that had transpired leading up to the Cross, the Cross, the resurrection and the events that followed. I especially love the part where the Bereans said to the Apostles, “Hey, this is great, but lets compare what you are saying to extrabiblical sources to make sure it adds up historically.” Oh wait, that’s not how it goes! I think how it actually goes is “…they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so…” (Acts 17:10-12 esv) So if these are considered to be more noble, then why the rise of Higher Criticism? Shouldn’t we want to be like the Bereans, searching the scriptures rather than searching anything but the scriptures to see what is true or false? How much does the Biblical Anthropology of Romans 1 play into this?

Book Review: The Deconstruction of Christianity: What It Is, Why It’s Destructive, And How To Respond
Authors: Alisa Childers and Tim Barnett.
5 out of 5
Purchase: Amazon
I highly recommend the book written by Alisa Childers (YouTube Channel) and Tim Barnett (Red Pen Logic) on a movement sweeping through Christianity called Deconstruction. Before diving into this review, it is worth noting, in my opinion, many people worship their golden calf with a JESUS label slapped on it rather than the Lord Jesus Christ of Holy Scripture.

Rousas John Rushdoony. The Word of Flux: Modern Man and the Problem of Knowledge. Vallecito, CA: Ross House Books, October 15, 2002. 152 pp.
4 out of 5
Purchase: Amazon
Want a book that cover the topic of the problem of knowledge that arises from unbelieving worldviews? If you want to approach this topic from a biblical worldview this book might be for you. The author Rousas Rushdoony does a good job summarizing the major themes of apologist and theologian Cornelius Van Til when it comes to apologetics and things that are epistemological.

God’s Word is holy, righteous, just and true as is God Himself. From a position of self-existence, God has created and revealed Himself unto man who was made in His image. Man transgressed (i.e. sinned against) the Word of God and fell. The forward in this book is written by Kevin DeYoung and it starts off with: The Devil is a liar. Adam and Eve bought the lies and, from there, Satan has been selling his deceptive wares seeing whom he can entice into myriad numbers of sin.

What then? If some did not believe, does their unbelief abolish the faithfulness of God? May it never be! Rather, let God be true and every man a liar, as it is written, “That You may be justified in Your words, And overcome when You are judged.”
Romans 3:3-4 LSB
When facing the rather large and daunting order of the Great Commission to go and evangelize the nations to bring them into submission under the Lordship of Jesus Christ, it is natural, as weak and fallen creatures, to experience some level of fear and discouragement. It is even more natural that, as we actually go out to evangelize the lost and experience rejection and slander in that endeavor, to feel the full weight of those emotions.

Introduction:
According to Romans 1:18-31, mankind suppresses the truth, exchange truth for lies, worship idols and themselves, and are given up to unnatural lusts. According to 1 Corinthians 1:18, the truth of the cross is foolishness to the unbeliever. And in Psalms 51:5, we can see the Psalmist admitting that he was born in sin and was conceived in sin. All of these are a short list of mankind’s state as being wicked not just in action, but in nature. As much as we might wish otherwise, we have to deal with the ruined state of our mankind. This is what many refer to as a “Biblical Anthropology”, and if you can get a handle on the truth of mankind’s nature as revealed in scripture, you will begin to see wider implications.

Tragedy and Comedy Photo by Tim Green
In spite of what many think, laughter isn’t the best medicine. But it can help sometimes. I remember watching a video that I thought was so funny, I ended up on the floor laughing. The family looked at me like I had lost it, and I guess I had for a bit. It was a great release, no matter what anyone thought.

ASV, CEB, KJV, CSB, ESV, NASB, Legacy, NIV, NKJV, RSV, etc. are not alphabet soup or new flavors of ice cream from Baskin-Robbins but rather various translations of the bible. In the not-too-distant past, it was not uncommon to have all members within a congregation utilizing the same bible translation. Churches, when purchasing bibles for their congregations, typically would select a single translation (e.g., KJV) for all their members and visitors to use in the church. In our modern era, however, a pastor definitely can’t count on having all his church members utilizing the same bible translation.

In a previous post “Revealed Apologetics Interview on The Old Testament & the Philosophy of Evidence” among the things talked about with the Old Testament as the worldview lens which we interpret the action of Jesus as being the Messiah is how environment/geography gives us clues that Jesus is the Messiah.
I want to give further details with that.
