Discovering Lectio Divina

"Saints of the past can't seem to say enough about their ecstatic experiences with the words of Scripture. The writer of Psalm 19, for example, can hardly contain himself as he exclaims that God's words and ways have revived his soul, made him wise, brought joy to his heart, given him clarity and correct perspective on his life, and warned him of danger. Why should our experiences of the Bible today fall short of this standard? What are we missing?

Spiritual formation experts James Wilhoit and Evan Howard argue that our ancestors in the faith responded to the special nature of Scripture with special habits of reading. In this step-by-step introduction to the practice of lectio divina, you will learn what it means to read your way into a new and life-changing intimacy with God.

Their simple, easy-to-follow explanation of this ancient practice provides a perfect foundation for you to begin meeting God in his Word as you:

       •   read,

       •   meditate,

       •   pray

       •   contemplate.

Discovering Lectio Divina

Bringing Scripture into Ordinary Life

By James C. Wilhoit and Evan B. Howardo experience more of God himself.

Leaders in Spiritual Formation Draw the Depths of Scripture into Everyday Life

In Discovering Lectio Divina, James C. Wilhoit and Evan B. Howard teach readers what lectio divina means and how it becomes a bridge between the inspired text of Scripture, the Christian reader and the Holy Spirit. “The authors befriend the Word in such a way that we become better friends of God and more committed members of our faith community,” says Susan Muto, author of A Practical Guide to Spiritual Reading. Throughout their delightful book, Wilhoit and Howard address basic questions surrounding this art of truly being with God.

What does it mean to “meditate”? How can we do this with God?
“The word meditation may sound a bit exotic. You might even wonder, ‘Is it okay to meditate?’ No worry, you are already doing it. While the Bible has a lot to say about meditation, it assumes that everyone meditates, just as it assumes that everyone worships. The Bible concerns itself with who or what we worship and with what we meditate about—directing our minds to Scripture, creation and redemption—but it assumes meditation rather than commands it.” (p. 77)

Why is contemplation an important part of the process of lectio divina? “When we meditate, we reflect; we gnaw on the text a bit. We take it into us by actively employing our thoughts and feelings. When we pray we communicate with God: asking for wisdom, listening for God’s voice, speaking back what comes to mind. When we contemplate during lectio divina, we rest, present with the God of the text. . . . Contemplation is a bit like bird watching; we can’t make the birds show up, but there are things we can do to encourage them. Likewise, there are things we can do to signal a mellowness of heart and an interest in doing business with God. We open our Bible. We make a habit of stilling our speech for a while. We wait in our silence for the silence of God to come. But in the end, God just comes.” (pp. 111, 118)

What makes this book unique among all of the other available spiritual formation resources?

“Ours is unique in that it combines the ancient wisdom on lectio with Reformation and evangelical voices. It also is one of the few nontechnical books that is clearly grounded in historical studies and theological reflection.” (Wilhoit and Howard)

Jesus the Messiah

WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM? A look at messianic expectations throughout history and whether Jesus fulfilled them

978-0-8254-2109-9 / $36.99 / Hardcover / 528 pages / Trim Size 6x9 inches / Kregel Academic Jesus The Messiah by Herbert W. Bateman IV, Darrell L. Bock, Gordon H. Johnston "Without question, Jesus is an unsurpassed, certainly an unequaled figure in human history," say the authors of Jesus the Messiah: Tracing the Promises, Expectations, and Coming of Israel's King (ISBN: 978-0-8254-2109-9, $36.99). "Belief in his life, death, and resurrection has transformed and even redirected world empires, cultures, and people." He can, however, be both "endearing and repelling. Thus Jesus has been, and continues to be, a worthy person to ponder. Jesus the Messiah is such a presentation about Jesus, specifically a consideration about his messiahship."       There are many books that attempt to determine who Jesus really was--social reformer, religious reformer, etc.--but Bateman, Bock, and Johnston take a broader approach: by tracing God's promise of Messiah as presented in the Hebrew Scriptures, then reflected upon in the later second temple period, and finally fulfilled in the promise of Jesus, the authors offer a contextual-canonical, messianic, and Christological development of God's promise of a "messiah" within the larger framework of Jewish history found in canonical and extra-biblical literature.       They make their argument in three parts: In Part One, Promises Of A King, Johnston looks at contextual and canonical dimensions for the Davidic dynasty of Israel. In Part Two, Expectations Of A King, Batmen looks at First Testament and second temple literature to determine what messianic expectations were. In Part Three, The Coming Of A King, Bock describes how the Second Testament builds upon the First Testament promises of a Messiah.       "The point is this," say Bateman, Bock, and Johnston. In the period immediately following the death of Jesus, "the only 'canonical' Testament people had was the Hebrew Scriptures. So we must be willing to travel back in time when the Old Testament canon had yet to be fully fixed and the New Testament promises were not yet realized."       The authors did not intend to create an overly technical work, but it does cater to anyone seriously versed in Scripture. In the end, "it is our hope that readers will better comprehend and even more importantly appreciate the dynamics of messianic prophecy and fulfillment. The consummations of God's promises are yet to come. But Scripture, early Christian preaching, and history point to Jesus and God's Messiah, Israel's king, who rules over and is worshiped by Jew and Gentile alike." ### Herbert W. Bateman IV has taught beginning and intermediate Greek for more than twenty years. He is the editor of Four Views on the Warning Passages in Hebrews, Three Central Issues in Contemporary Dispensationalism, and Authentic Worship. Darrell L. Bock is research professor of New Testament studies at Dallas Theological Seminary. A former president of the Evangelical Theological Society, he is the author of the best-seller Breaking the Da Vinci Code and numerous works in New Testament studies, including Jesus According to Scripture. Gordon H. Johnston (ThD, Dallas Theological Seminary) is associate professor of Old Testament Studies at Dallas Theological Seminary. He has spent a number of years sifting through archaeological digs. In addition to his work in the field, Dr. Johnston has published numerous articles and essays in scholarly journals. For media queries, please contact Adam Ferguson at adamf@kregel.com.   QUESTIONS FOR JESUS THE MESSIAH There are many books that attempt to describe who Jesus really was. What makes this book unique? Why is your approach stronger than others? You evaluate your stance using three criteria: contextual-canonical, messianic, and Christological. What do the criteria mean and how do they support your argument? In the end, who would you say that Jesus is?

New American Standard Bible

Readable, Trusted, Literal, & Timeless

Background & History

Since its completion in 1971, the New American Standard Bible has been widely embraced as “the most literally accurate English translation” from the original languages. Millions of people, students, scholars, pastors, missionaries, and laypersons alike, trust the NASB, learning from it and applying it to the challenges of their daily lives. Discover what the original text says, word for word.

In 1995 the NASB was updated, increasing clarity and readability. Vocabulary, grammar, and sentence structure were carefully reviewed for greater understanding and smoother reading. Trust, discover and enjoy the NASB for yourself today.

Answering the Demands of Today

The NASB translators believe that to make the best translation of the Scriptures even better, change should not be made just for the sake of change. This means keeping the updated NASB exactly what it has always been and will forever be—literally accurate. In order to be deemed acceptable by translators, updated material had to maintain the highest standards of literal translation. Thus the smoother reading updated NASB refines the differences in style between the ancient languages and current English.In the process, Old English "thees," "thys," and "thous," archaic vocabulary, and sentences beginning with "And" have been updated for better English, while verses with difficult word order were restructured.

In addition, parallel passages have been compared and reviewed and verbs that have a wide range of meaning have been updated to better account for their use in the context. Proper names or titles have been used in place of pronouns only when the context made it clear who the person was. Punctuation and paragraphing have been formatted to fit today’s standards. Notes about ancient manuscripts, which have appeared in most editions of the NASB, have been reviewed and, in many cases, feature new and more specific interesting facts.

Preserving the Integrity, Beauty, and Power of the New American Standard Bible

The New American Standard Bible has been produced with the conviction that the words of Scripture, as originally penned in the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, were inspired by God. Since they are the eternal Word of God, the Holy Scriptures speak with fresh power to each generation, to give wisdom that leads to salvation so that men and women may serve Christ for the glory of God.

The updated NASB represents revisions and refinements recommended over the last several years and incorporates thorough research based on current English usage. And rest assured, the translators and consultants who contributed to the updated NASB are, as always, conservative Bible scholars who have doctorates in biblical languages, theology, or other advanced degrees. Representing a variety of denominational backgrounds, the translators of the updated NASB meticulously followed all the same tried-and-true safeguards as set forth in the original NASB, which took the NASB translators nearly 10 years to complete.

In preparation, numerous linguistic tools and literature of biblical scholarship were consulted. Decisions about English renderings were made by consensus of a team composed of educators and pastors who were directed by their faith that the original words of Scripture were inspired by God. Therefore, their work was treated reverently and carefully, as changes were kept to a minimum. Completed sections of work were passed to critical consultants for a thorough review of the translation. The work passed between committees on numerous occasions before final review and revision in plenary sessions.

In perfecting the updated NASB, more than 20 translators spent nearly three years scrutinizing the NASB in order to modernize and maintain it in accordance with the most recent research on the oldest and best manuscripts. Thus, some passages have been updated for even greater fidelity to the original manuscripts.

At NO point did the translators attempt to interpret Scripture through translation. Instead, the 

NASB translation team adhered to the principles of literal translation. This is the most exacting and demanding method of translation, requiring a word-for-word translation that is both accurate and readable. This method follows the word and sentence patterns of the original authors in order to enable the reader to study Scripture in its most literal format and to experience the individual personalities of those who penned the original manuscripts. For example, one can directly compare and contrast the simple eloquent style of John with the deep complexity of Paul.

Instead of telling the reader what to think, the updated NASB provides the most precise translation with which to conduct a personal journey through the Word of God

24 Ways to Explain the Gospel

"Why do I need to be saved?" "From what?" 
These are common questions in today's society. Salvation can be a difficult concept to explain to a postmodern thinker. Fortunately, God's Word provides many ways of looking at our situation, and at God's solution. 24 Ways to Explain the Gospel contains dozens of word pictures and illustrations that will help you communicate the gospel in ways everyone can understand.
14 panels, fits inside most Bibles, 8.5 x 5.5 inches, unfolds to 38 inches long.

The Bible is full of illustrations that use common experiences, such as gardening, having debt, a campfire, or joining a family, to explain what Jesus accomplished on the cross. In 24 Ways to Explain the Gospel, you will see 24 metaphors from the Bible, positive and negative examples, and several illustrations that show how the positive/negative examples can be explained. (A metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase compares or describes something. For example: “A mighty fortress is our God” - “mighty fortress” is a metaphor to help to describe God.) 

Below is an example from 24 Ways to Explain the Gospel:

• Metaphor: Light - Jesus is the light that shines on our path toward God (John 12:46)
• Positive examples: Light - Jesus is the light of the world (John 8:12)
  • Jesus' light shines in our heart (2 Cor. 4:4-6)
  • Children of the light (Eph. 5:8)
  • Jesus has rescued us from darkness (Col. 1:13)
  • Putting aside the deeds of darkness (Romans 13:12)
• Negative examples: Dark - People living in darkness have seen a great light (Matt. 4:16)
  • People loved darkness (John 3:19)
• Illustrations - A campfire in the wilderness provides light, warmth, safety and sustenance.
  • The light helps campers to find their way back to camp. It provides warmth for the night. It keeps the animals away. It cooks food and purifies water.
  • In a similar way, Jesus provides us with a guiding light, warmth, safety, and sustenance for our journey of life.

Declaration of Dependence

This Declaration of Dependence is . . .
A radical solution to these radical times; the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony in bold action. Mature. Strong. Controversial. Governmental not political. Uncomfortable. Where has conform gotten us? Politically incorrect. We have been pursuing things that dont matter, wont last and could cost us everything. The Bible is the first book of law, government, history, economics and education.
We need the gospel; the healing of the brokenhearted, the proclamation of liberty to the captives, recovery of sight to the blind, and the bound set free. We need you. In a day of extreme sports, extreme weather outbreaks, extreme division, extreme financial crisis, extreme world upheaval, isnt it time for extreme prayer?
As youre praying, youll be shining light, showing love, speaking truth and enthroning glory. Be strengthened as you pray, knowing God hears you and that youre making the difference.
This is not about keeping the status quo. Its not about saving the economy, electing a new leader or having a religious experience. Its not Sunday morning churchianity, its a lifestyle. Its about being transformed into the image of the Son. Its about returning to Yahweh. The prodigals are coming home. Will you declare your dependence?

The Gospel According to Isaiah 53

Encountering the Suffering Servant in Jewish and Christian Theology.

A Project of Chosen People Ministries http://www.chosenpeople.com/main/

The Gospel According to Isaiah 53 presents the redemptive work of the Messiah to the Jewish community, exploring issues of atonement and redemption in light of Isaiah chapter 53. It is clear that Jesus fulfills the specifications of the suffering servant of Isaiah 53.

This book has many potential uses in its presentation of the gospel for Jewish people. Pastors who study it will find unparalleled help in preparing Bible studies and sermons, so that their listeners will become better equipped to tell Jewish people about Jesus. It will be beneficial as supplemental reading for classes on Isaiah, the Prophets, and Jewish evangelism. And believers will be trained to share Isaiah 53 with Jewish friends and family.

Citizens of Two Kingdoms

While living our Earthly life we are citizens of the nation in which we live and citizens of the Kingdom of God/heaven. In light of this our lives must demonstrate our heavenly citizenship to those around us while we seek to be good citizens of our earthly nation or kingdom.

There was a song in the 70’s, which ask the question, “If you were arrested for being a Christian would there be enough evidence to prove you are a Christian?” Are you Christ-Like while being Christian?

I have noticed that sometimes we as Christians act and speak like unsaved people. We can be critical, snarky and almost hateful toward those who are different than us in race, philosophy and religion. Even within Christianity people who attend one type of church are sometimes disdainful of those who attend another type of Church. Scripture tells us to workout our salvation with fear and trembling before God. Now we know that we are saved by God’s grace or unmerited favor, but this scripture points out that we must with serious diligence not take God’s gift of salvation carelessly. His grace may be free to us but it cost God more than we could ever repay. His love is amazing but ours is very flawed.

I am a Bible believing Christian who has studied to show myself approved by God, but I have not arrived at perfection. I consider myself as maturing but do things that show I am not where I could be. I have found that my earthly attitude sometimes over rules my belief or at least the practice of my belief is lacking perfection.

A few words of caution:

1. We can be gracious without approving of sinful behavior.

2. We do not need to overlook or ignore obvious Biblical teaching in the process of being Christ-like.

3. We must not ignore one part of Jesus teaching while focusing on any other part.

4. Jesus harshest words were for the self-righteous religious or political leaders who proclaimed and pretended to be good and helping the people while protecting their own positions and power.

5. These were not simply arguments over philosophy leadership or different approaches to doing God’s will.

Jesus was a citizen of dual kingdoms, heaven and Israel, which was under Roman rule.  We are told to give unto God what is His and unto our rulers what is required. Jesus was compassionate toward sinners. He ate with them and presented the truth of God’s kingdom in His teachings. What makes Kings and leaders unjust is addressed in both the Old and New Testament and while important is not the focus of this article.

We in America live in a nation where we can choose our leaders. Just as God allowed Israel to have a King like the other nations, God allows us to choose our leader no matter what her or his religion, character, philosophy or political understanding.

Our system is not perfect but as those following Christ we have the freedom to offer people the Good News of the Gospel without fear of being jailed no matter which political party we support.

We must diligently, passionately be doing our Father’s work on the earth. Resources spent on Social Justice or Political change without our focus being on the transferring of people from the Kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of God are a waste of resources. We must be compassionate toward those in need, as well as, proclaim the Gospel or good news of the Kingdom of God, buildup believers and seek to bring ourselves into maturity/perfection according to the Bible’s teachings.

Let’s not get distracted by things that take us away from our primary purpose in the process of living as citizens of two Kingdoms! What is that primary purpose? It is doing all that Jesus began to do and teach.
