561 | Judgement | Deut 32:21 | DocTrinsograce | 242125 | ||
"It is therefore called the judgement of God, because it is contrary to the judgement of men, condemning what men choose, and choosing what men condemn. And this judgement has been shown to us in the cross of Christ." --Martin Luther |

563 | Fix Your Eyes on the Cross | Luke 23:33 | DocTrinsograce | 242106 | ||
“Do not let Good Friday pass you by like a set of airline instructions. Fix your eyes on the cross. Not as the place to show us our worth, but to show us the weight of our sin. Not as the pace where Jesus simply felt our pain, but where he bore our penalty.” --Kevin DeYoung |

564 | Judgmental Judges | Prov 24:29 | DocTrinsograce | 242105 | ||
"How the irony gods rejoice when unbelievers judge us as judgmental hypocrites." --R. C. Sproul, Jr. |

565 | When study what to read first | Bible general | DocTrinsograce | 242103 | ||
Dear Ed, I am not familiar with any arguments over John 1; nonetheless, I like your advice. I was thinking how Mark's audience were Roman gentiles. Luke's audience were Greek gentiles. Those two groups would tend to be more representative of the modern American reader. Therefore they would be good starting points. Perhaps for the less well educated Mark would be better; while Luke might be a good place to start for those with superior educations. Thank you for the suggestion. I think I'll adjust how I have directed new believers accordingly. In Him, Doc |

566 | So utterly holy... | Acts 5:30 | DocTrinsograce | 242098 | ||
"To see where the Bible teaches the holiness of God most powerfully of all, go to Calvary. God is so holy -- so utterly holy -- that nothing but that awful death could make it possible for Him to forgive us. The cross is the supreme and the sublimest declaration and revelation of the holiness of God." --Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1899-1981) |

567 | God's Mercy | Is 29:24 | DocTrinsograce | 242074 | ||
"A smug posture over how I love sinners as Jesus does, unlike those judgmental people, is a pretty good sign I'm one of those people." --R. C. Sproul, Jr. (2015) |

568 | Diligent to Enter That Rest | Heb 4:11 | DocTrinsograce | 242061 | ||
Though heaven be given us freely, yet we must contend for it. Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with they might!" --Thomas Watson (1620-1686) |

569 | Subduing the Flesh with Prayer | Gal 5:24 | DocTrinsograce | 242056 | ||
"There is never a mortified man who has not been a praying man. Subduing lust can never be obtained without prayer." --Christopher Love (1618-1651) |

Hi, Lionstrong... I have prayed for you from time to time. I hope that you and your family are doing well. In Him, Doc |

571 | Who is my neighbor? | Luke 10:29 | DocTrinsograce | 242053 | ||
Hi, 00123... Well, just to be on the safe side, I spent the last hour checking the commentaries of the following scholars: John Gill, Matthew Henry, Albert Barnes, James H. Childress, James Burton Coffman, Thomas Constable, David Guzik, Paul E. Kretzmann, Arthur Peake, Joseph Sutcliffe, William Burkitt, G. Campbell Morgan, Charles Box, and Henry Allen Ironsides. That is about as diverse a bunch as one my bring together. Nonetheless, they have one thing in common: they answered your question just as I have done, but with greater perspicuity. As poor and faulty as is my understanding, perhaps my weird answer puts me, at least, in good company. :-) If you find a Bible scholar with another alternative, identify him/her, and share us the answer. In Him, Doc |

572 | Who is my neighbor? | Luke 10:29 | DocTrinsograce | 242051 | ||
Hi, 00123... No, Jesus is answering the lawyer's question. Our neighbor is the one we providentially encounter in need and we are his neighbor who have the means of meeting that need. Robert Jammieson, the commentator writes, "Who did this as never man did it, as our Brother Man, 'our Neighbor?' The priests and Levites had not strengthened the diseased, nor bound up the broken (Ezekiel 34:4), while He bound up the brokenhearted (Isaiah 61:1), and poured into all wounded spirits the balm of sweetest consolation. Exclaims Gregory Nazianzen (in the fourth century), 'He hungered, but He fed thousands; He was weary, but He is the Rest of the weary; He is saluted "Samaritan" and "Demoniac," but He saves him that went down from Jerusalem and fell among thieves, etc.'" What a blessed example he leaves of showing mercy to one's neighbor, teaching the Lawyer to rightly understand Leviticus 19, but also giving us a clear picture of how our Savior serves. In Him, Doc |

573 | The Same People | 1 Cor 10:24 | DocTrinsograce | 242049 | ||
"The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because generally they are the same people." --G. K. Chesterton |
||||||
574 | Who is my neighbor? | Luke 10:29 | DocTrinsograce | 242048 | ||
Hi, 00123... We have the answer as given by the Lawyer: And he [the lawyer] said, "The one who showed mercy toward him." (Luke 10:37a) Christ affirmed that answer: Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do the same." (Luke 10:37b) A neighbor is one who is in need of mercy, care, and comfort. His neighbor is one who lovingly provides what is needed. (cf Ezekiel 34:4; Isaiah 61:1) In Him, Doc |

575 | Truly Humbled in the Sense of Sin | 2 Thess 2:17 | DocTrinsograce | 242040 | ||
"Whenever thy soul is truly humbled in the sense of sin, look not at sin in thy conscience (thy conscience is a bed for another to lodge in), but at Christ. If thou be a broken-hearted sinner, see thy sins in Christ thy Saviour taken away; see what He hath endured and suffered for them; see not the law in thy conscience, but see it discharged by Christ; see death disarmed through Him, and made an entrance into a better life for thee. Whatsoever is ill, see it in Christ before thou seest it in thyself; and when thou beholdest it there, see not only the hurt thereof taken away, but all good made over to thee; for 'all things work together for the best to them that love God," Romans 8:28. The devil himself, death, sin, and wrath, all help the main; the poison and mischief of all is taken away by Christ, and all good conveyed to us in Him. We have grace answerable to His grace. He is the first seat of God's love, and it sweetens whatever mercy we enjoy, that it comes from the fountain, God the father, through Christ unto us. I beseech you embrace the comfort that the Holy Ghost affords us from these sweet considerations.” --Richard Sibbes (1577–1635) |

576 | Examples to the Flock | 1 Pet 5:3 | DocTrinsograce | 242032 | ||
"We believe that the Holy Spirit is greater than man's spirit, and that our Lord and Master was a better judge of what is right and good than any of us can be. Our place is at His feet: we are not cavillers, but followers. Whatever Jesus does and says, we regard with deepest reverence; our chief desire is to learn as much as we can from it. We see great mysteries in His simplest actions, and profound teaching about His plainest words. When He speaks or acts, we are like Moses at the bush, and feel that we stand on holy ground." --Charles Spurgeon (1889) |

577 | Offended by What is Understood | Matt 15:12 | DocTrinsograce | 242030 | ||
"Be very sure of this: people never reject the Bible because they cannot understand it. They understand it only too well; they understand that it condemns their own behavior; they understand that it witnesses against their own sins, and summons them to judgment." --J. C. Ryle When I read this observation by Ryle, I was mindful of a quote by Mark Twain: "It ain't those parts of the Bible that I can't understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand." Q.E.D. |

579 | jobs suffering | Job | DocTrinsograce | 242023 | ||
Hi, gawoman... If that is so, then I am very happy indeed that my integrity is not my own, but Christ's (Romans 3:25-26; 2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Peter 3:18). My integrity would never pass muster (Job 15:14-16; Isaiah 64:6; Ephesians 2:1-2; Titus 3:3). In Him, Doc |

580 | Like a Bush in the Desert | Jer 17:6 | DocTrinsograce | 242019 | ||
"Many people who think they're converted are more like a male moose in heat in the spring. They don't want to verify anything; they just want a mate. And sometimes it doesn't pan out." --Dr. John D. Hannah |
