@AndrewS76825037 @ChrisannDawson Particularly important when considering the soundness of David’s example at times, Abraham and Hagar, multiple wives in the OT and many more. Clear demonstrations of God’s grace and infinite patience with a humanity that always seems to know best.
@Carpet16100850 I don’t know about organisation 😁 I’m just really thirsty for spiritual sustenance! “As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.” Psalm 42:1-2 ESV bible.com/bible/59/psa.4…
@Carpet16100850 Leviticus and Numbers are underrated. I know you follow @MikeWingerii and his Jesus in the Old Testament series was like a lightbulb going off me in terms of my appreciation of Leviticus, Deuteronomy and Numbers. Those books come to life when you understand what they really mean.
@men_like_trees I think you jumped a Chapter. Doesn’t MLJ cover the Kingdom in Chapter 4 😄 #MLJbeatitudes
I use the Olive Tree Bible app. I love books but don’t have the space, sadly, and Olive Tree Bible app on iPad is nice and clean, with great linked verse functionality etc. The monthly Study Subscription is good value, even if the cost of individual books deserves sharp rebuke 🤨
I may well do these with Genesis in the morning and the Prophets in the evening. Alongside the reading, I like to read the ESV Study Bible Notes, so while it’s about 1 chapter each per day, it’s not just a quick read through. I feel it’s important to take time in the Word, but…
Additionally, I plan daily Netflix and chill with…

@men_like_trees @Carpet16100850 @JesseDornfeld @CreatedforaPur1 @ChrisannDawson
Thank you for your suggestions, definitely enough to keep me going for a while! I have decided to focus the next few months on…
1⃣ Genesis in 30 Days 2⃣ 30 Days with the Major Prophets
@men_like_trees @reformedpolls Interesting - I refer to the ESV for study, but increasingly use YouVersion as an overview of translations for poetry. When sharing the Good News, poetry and essence are important, especially on places like Twitter where there isn’t time for an exegesis 4x longer than the verse.

Such a good song, and a great video.

@Carpet16100850 Have uploaded a PDF link. It’s an amazing article. Well worth reading.
Am I allowed to say gob-smacking? I am literally gob-smacked, so I guess I can.

@RedeemedRags I remember our first phone number too. It was 4 digits (local exchanges) when I was a kid in the 70’s. Then went to 6 digits, now 11 digits. It was easier back then! I know my own mobile number in addition, but that’s not saying very much is it!
Just extraordinary. Good night!

@mburnett606 @JasonRomano ⬆️ This is the full message.
Alistair’s blog post is also worth reading. What an amazing sermon. If there is hope for the thief on the cross, there is hope for me, wretched sinner that I am.
@CreatedforaPur1 I guess this is what they call ‘systematic’ theology. I’d previously been a bit sniffy about that idea as I felt it maybe detracted from scripture as presented, but it does seem to have a place bringing out the macro-understanding that can be lost when focussing in too closely.
@CreatedforaPur1 It certainly opened my eyes to a new way of looking at the way the OT is structured, I was aware of the differences between the Hebrew OT and ‘Christian’ OT but the timeline and themes were new insights for me. I’d overlooked the 400 year silent period between Genesis and Exodus.
@Tramels_Tweets @ChrisannDawson And pack your swimming trunks if Paul decides he needs to hitch a ride.
@CreatedforaPur1 I watched the Intro to the OT on YouTube today. The audio is also on Spotify and the illustrated book is on Scribd. Scribd is well worth the subscription by the way. It has a cornucopia of commentaries and other study books often unavailable elsewhere: scribd.com/book/234817572
@JesseDornfeld @DPGBehler Progressive Christianity has to be the last stop before Agnosticism. On one hand a place for people who can’t quite let go, and the other a place for certain types to make a living off them.
Without biblical truth what is there but myth and fable.
@JesseDornfeld @DrMichaelLBrown @JohnPiper Desiring God is an amazing resource. In time I hope to make more use of it! I could do with another 12 hours each day to make more time for study!
@JesseDornfeld @DPGBehler It goes back to something I was thinking the other day. twitter.com/weneedanark/st…
