PAUL’S ANGUISH & THE HEART OF GOD • PART II
“The prophets foresaw both Israel’s stumbling and the salvation of the Gentiles, culminating in Israel’s restoration. Paul grasped this divine mystery: Jesus will not return until a remnant from every nation is gathered in, and this ingathering of the nations will lead to the salvation of all Israel.”
THE SOWER WENT OUT TO SOW
“…the seed is the Word of God and the sower spreads the seeds wherever he goes. Not all of them bear fruit and even the ones that fall into good soil bear different amounts of fruit, but this does not discourage the sower. He knows what he has is precious and worthy of being distributed.”
GEN Z & THE DAY OF THE LORD
“A cheaply won, ‘personal-escape-route-to-Cloud-Heaven’ Gospel will never be attractive to Gen Z. They want solutions that work on a global and communal scale. My generation is crying out for justice and a half-baked Gospel just won’t cut it.”
PAUL’S ANGUISH & THE HEART OF GOD • PART I
“If the coming of Jesus had subverted or altered God’s plan for Israel, Paul would not have been suffering or consumed by unceasing sorrow for his people. Paul’s heart burned for Israel’s salvation.“
THE DANGER OF A DIFFERENT GOSPEL
“If we lack Jerusalem, we are untethered from the ‘sure and steadfast anchor of our souls,’ the hope of the resurrection and coming restoration. And in our unmooring, we are unprepared to bear faithful witness of the Gospel of the Kingdom to those perishing without knowledge. Worse yet, the danger of a different gospel is that we may well be perishing ourselves.”
