Bible Note: kalos ::: Thank you for sharing a portion of the article by John MacArthur, a man of God and an heroic defender of the faith in these times. So often when I am puzzled by a passage of Scripture and seek further light on it, I turn to the writings of MacArthur, not for a quick fix, which is not what I want, but for sound exegesis, which is what I do want. Much more often than not he delivers abundantly, and my soul is enriched. To anyone who doesn't own a copy of "The MacArthur Study Bible" I would urge you to save up coins in your piggy bank and buy one. And to all who already have a copy or who may be considering the purchase of one, I urge you to read the introductory material found on pp. vii-xii in the front of the book, especially his "Personal Notes" on pp. xi and xii. And in the back of the book his "Overview of Theology" section is invaluable, especially to the new follower of Christ, and to anyone who needs to brush up on orthodox theology. Plato said, "The unexamined life is not worth living." Perhaps it is no less true to say that the unexamined faith is not worth having. Scripture puts it this way, "Test all things; hold fast what is good." (1 Thess. 5:21). In his Study Bible notes and in his "Overview of Theology" article, I believe that John MacArthur does just that. --Hank |
