Here’s a thesis for a Master of Arts in Christian Apologetics that Liberty University’s Rawlings School of Divinity has made available that might interests readers of this blog.  It is titled “Apologetic Response to the Timing Contradiction in the Synoptic Gospels.”

The thesis was written by Oluwaseun Ebenezer Agboola and was completed on June 2025  as part of his completion of his Masters’ Degree in Christian Apologetics.  I am thankful Liberty University has made this thesis available online for free.

Here’s the abstract for the thesis:

Bible Absurdity? The story in Exodus doesn’t mention a caterpillar plague

Posted in Bible, bible difficulties, Christianity, Reformed, Theology, tagged , , , , , on April 21, 2026| 20 Comments »

For today’s post we will tackle an issue the Skeptic Annotated Bible raised: The story in Exodus doesn’t mention a caterpillar plague.

Here’s the passage the Skeptic thinks is absurd:

He spoke, and locusts came, And creeping locusts, beyond number,

Psalm 105:34

(All Scriptural quotation comes from the New American Standard Bible)

Under “Absurdity” for Mark here is what the Skeptic Annotated Bible says:

The story in Exodus doesn’t mention a caterpillar plague.

Here’s a closer look at whether or not there is an absurdity:

Review: Ephesians: An Expositional Commentary by RC Sproul

Posted in Book Review, Christianity, Holy Spirit, RC Sproul, Reformed, Theology, tagged , , , , , on April 20, 2026| 16 Comments »

R.C. Sproul. Ephesians: An Expositional Commentary.  Sanford, FL: Ligonier Ministries, 2016. 99 pp.

4 out of 5

Purchase: Amazon

This is an expository commentary on the book of Ephesians.  I have read a few commentaries on the book of Ephesians before and compared to other commentaries this commentary might not be the most technical for the exegetes (I think of Harold Hoener’s Ephesians: An Exegetical Commentary as one of the best technical exegetical commentaries that I have used) but it was spiritually enriching.

Review: The Wisdom of God: Revealed, Reviled, and Reverberated

Posted in Bible, biblical theology, Book Review, Christianity, God, Gregory K Beale, irony, Reformed, Theology, tagged , , , , , , , , on April 13, 2026| 14 Comments »

 

Matthew S. Harmon. The Wisdom of God: Revealed, Reviled, and Reverberated.  Wheaton, IL: Crossway, March 17, 2026.  144 pp.

4 out of 5

Purchase: Amazon

Introduction

I know there’s a theme throughout the Bible with the Wisdom of God but never thought about this being something explored in a book length treatment foe biblical theology.  That is exactly what the latest volume in the Short Studies in Biblical Theology series focuses on.  I really like this series and some of the volumes have been life changing and paradigm shifting for me but after the last one I read on the New Creation where I was a little disappointed I was hoping for the best for future volumes.  While this book wasn’t the best ones in the series, it also didn’t disappoint either.

Guest Post: A nasty misunderstanding at World Wide News

Posted in Christianity, God, Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Reformed, Theology, Trials, tagged , , , , , on April 11, 2026| 25 Comments »

Note: This is a guest post since I’m busy preparing to teach for an overseas seminary today/tonight.  This is by Tom.  Tom is a dear brother and friend on Worpress and I appreciate his faithfulness and ability to write so many posts on here.  His blog be found here and his latest post can be found here.  Please keep him in your prayers!

I’d like to begin my guest post by asking everyone to pray that the Lord blesses Pastor Jimmy in his current mission to distant lands.

When Jimmy asked me to write a guest post, a couple of thoughts came to mind that had to do with misunderstandings and miscommunication.

Review: Keep Your Greek: Strategies for Busy People

Posted in Biblical Meditation, Book Review, Christianity, Devotional, Joel Beeke, Puritans, Scripture Meditation, Theology, tagged , , , , , , on April 9, 2026| 13 Comments »

Note: At the time this post is published I am still away teaching overseas and not in a place with good internet.  I won’t be responding back right away.

Constantine Campbell.  Keep Your Greek: Strategies for Busy People.  Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, December 3, 2010. 96 pp.

5 out of 5

Purchase: Amazon

I imagine many alumni who graduate from seminary end up losing their ability to read and interpret the Biblical languages.  The author Constantine Campbell wrote this book to help people to retain their Greek and even offer help for those who lost their Koine Greek abilities.  I am so glad the author wrote this book as it was helpful even for someone like me who have retained some Greek but can grow a lot more in my Greek abilities!  I also loved that this work is short which makes it very readable in light of my busy schedule with ministry!

Guest Post: The Skeptic’s Annotated Bible (SAB) and Ecclesiastes 3:11 Part 1

Posted in Bible, bible difficulties, Christianity, Reformed, Theology, tagged , , , , , on April 8, 2026| 22 Comments »

This is a guest post by Mandy. She blogs here. I appreciate so much her prayers over the years. Check out her blog!

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also put eternity into their heart, yet so that man will not find out the work that God has done from the beginning to the end (my translation).

According to Steven Wells, the author of the SAB, Ecclesiastes 3:11 is both absurd and anti-science. In this post we will tackle Well’s first charge on Ecc 3:11a. Wells labels the first clause as absurd stating, “Everything is beautiful in its own way. Parasitic worms, cancer cells, bubonic plague. You just have to look at it from God’s eyes.” The word beautiful can also be translated appropriate or right. Wells is correct, from God’s eyes everything is beautiful, appropriate and right in its time because He knows the end result of all matters. As we will see, how one views God is how one will view this verse.

Guest Post: Peace, be Still!

Note: This is a guest post since presently I am busy today teaching class online for seminary students overseas. This is by Cowboy Bob. His blog be found here and he runs The Question Evolution Project on Facebook here.

The Village Gossip, William Collins ca. 1824.jpg

The title of this article is drawn from when Jesus rebuked the storm, but those words apply to how we use our words. The 1970s TV show All in the Family was famous for ridiculing Conservatives and Christians. People who saw it should remember how Archie told Edith to “stifle herself.” Somehow, “shut up” is considered too harsh. Many people, especially Christians, need to learn how and when to refrain from speaking.

Review: Who on earth is the Holy Spirit

Tim Chester and Christopher de la Hoyde. Who on earth is the Holy Spirit.  Purcellville, VA: The Good Book Company, June 1, 2013.  80 pp.

4 out of 5

Purchase: Amazon

I am always in the back of my mind wondering about what good books on the Holy Spirit are out there both to read for my own edification and also to recommend others.  This would be a concise work that I can recommend others especially the Christian general reader.  It covers the Person of the Holy Spirit and what does the Holy Spirit do.  I read this book because I have benefited from other books in this series before (Questions Christians Ask) and secondly the author Tim Chester was someone familiar (I read other works by him in the past and it was helpful) though Christopher de la Hoyde is new to me.  My expectations were met when I read this work.
