@PilgrimIntoWord @CSLCHSnMore Hi Shannon!

@CSLCHSnMore I’ll let you go first #HealthyFaithChat

@CSLCHSnMore Hi everyone, Nick here for the first time in 2023… (the first UK daytime #HealthyFaithChat). I’m looking forward to longer days and, the rain stopping and the sun coming out! t.co/uzDgJ1OIW…

@EhzNow @Carpet16100850 Absolutely. And the moment I realised that, for me, in my heart, was the moment the Holy Spirit convicted me of the full truth of the Gospel and God’s promise.

@Carpet16100850 I suspect there’s also a tendency to wave away the entire Old Testament when you’re trying to find stuff that conforms to your preconceived notions of sin and morality.

@Carpet16100850 It only arises because God Himself and the divinely breathed truth of The Bible has been forgotten or set aside in some quarters. It’s what happens when it is treated as a self-help wisdom book or motivation tool.

Isaiah 40:15 Great nations are no more than dust on the scales.

Isaiah 39:6 Poor old foolish Hezekiah. While it is polite to show generosity to your house guests, it’s worth checking that they are not going to come back and swipe it all, plus many of your sons, before you do so.

See also 2 Kings 20:12–19.

Of course the lesson is all about Hezekiah’s pride, and his self-belief before his trust and witness in God. He was generous and polite in showing his guests around the house… though pride and boastfulness were the true motives.

@EhzNow I may need to revisit the way I understand salvation in the Old Testament - or in Judaism at least. Is it fair to say that before Christ the Jewish view on salvation was different to the way Christians see OT salvation in the light of Jesus?

@EhzNow Thank you Eli, likewise!

Genesis 15:6 Abram is counted righteous by faith, not deeds. Righteousness in the Old Testament was demonstrated by adherence to the law. But Abram is counted righteous by faith, before he’d proven by work.

@Carpet16100850 For sure! I can’t believe it’s already 122 years old.

1901 Edition. Leather needs rebinding but otherwise in lovely condition. I have a local bookbinder that I will be having a chat with!

And what a book. Over 600 illustrations… They don’t make them like this anymore. t.co/bfJuZeJae…

@pudicat11 Knowing a little bit about Sproul, I’m sure he chuckled as he wrote this. He can see the tightrope.

@pudicat11 R.C. Sproul: Knowing Scripture. ‘The Role of the Teacher’: A good teacher must have sound knowledge and the necessary skills to unravel difficult portions of Scripture. Here the need for mastery of language, history and theology are of critical importance. t.co/Un0kgpYhB…

@men_like_trees Thank you.

@men_like_trees I will be happy if I have got to the point with my family where I can get baptised and go to church. If I can do that I have more of an opportunity to bring my wife along with me on this journey. She would benefit from the fellowship even if she’s not yet ready to receive Jesus.

@JesseDornfeld My mornings are dreadful for study, regardless of when I get up. Evenings are much quieter and better for focus.

@ThreeUKSupport Thanks Rhiannon. @TwitterSupport are ignoring me so we will see how it goes!

@ThreeUKSupport Thank you. If you need any further details I’ve followed you - so my DM’s will be open. Best wishes - Nick

Genesis 13:14–15 The promised land. All the land that you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever. I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if one can count the dust of the earth, your offspring also can be counted.
