A Pastoral Perspective on Biblical, Theological, and Cultural Issues The Personal Website of James B. Law, Ph.D. Suicide: Where Do We Go From Here? Written by Pastor Jim Law.

In the struggle to communicate compassion, truth, and hope at this funeral, I was gripped by a conversation between Jesus and his disciples found in John 6 wh...

A Pastoral Perspective on Biblical, Theological, and Cultural Issues The Personal Website of James B. Law, Ph.D. One of the Most Misunderstood Bible Verses. Written by Pastor Jim Law. Someone has said that judging others is one of the favorite indoor sports of humanity. Indeed, judging others just seems to flow naturally from a fallen heart. In context, the crosshairs of this command were upon the Pharisees whose judgments were so severe and without mercy that Jesus rebukes them for noticing the speck in...

Life in Christ: November 2012
http://lifeinchrist-tom.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 29, 2012. Should Christians Get Angry? What is the biblical Christian response to people who sin? How should husbands and wives respond when their spouses sin against them? Is anger a biblical response? Should parents get angry with their children? Should church members get angry with sinning brothers and sisters? Are Christians to speak and act angrily toward others? So, what is "righteous anger? But what is God's law? But what is love? Thursday, November 29, 2012. Links to this post.

Life in Christ: Two ways to be Proud: Unity and Purity
http://lifeinchrist-tom.blogspot.com/2014/09/two-ways-to-be-proud-unity-and-purity.html
Friday, September 12, 2014. Two ways to be Proud: Unity and Purity. The Idol of Purity. Those who idolize purity are proud of their distinctiveness. They feel superior to other Christians because they've got something right that other Christians don't. So they judgmentally condemn those who don't think like they do. They're often unteachable and unwilling to listen and learn from others. The Idol of Unity. Truth and Unity in Jesus Christ. Against the “Purity Idol.”. Friday, September 12, 2014.

Life in Christ: Musings on Merit
http://lifeinchrist-tom.blogspot.com/2014/05/my-musings-on-merit.html
Tuesday, May 13, 2014. So, I've been sick, and yesterday I read Peter Leithart's post titled, What Does Christ Merit? What is “merit? 1 The Bible speaks of God's own “rectoral righteousness.”. This is God's rectitude as a judge. He is an incorruptible judge who always upholds the law, never relaxes it, or bends it for personal reasons. The law is a necessary reflection of His own character; so, He would never want to violate the law. Psalm 99:3-4 says, “Holy is he! The main point of Leithart's article se...

One disciple's thoughts on God, His Word, and His world. On Beware: Michael Heimple of Capitol Artists Colorado Springs is a Spammer. August of 2016.he's still sending me spam. Wonderful, really. I'd NEVER have any band he reps play at anything I'm. On Doug Wilson, Southern Baptists, and the Confederate Flag. The real problem is not the lateness of the response; it is that the great realizations followed secular concerns. On Doug Wilson, Southern Baptists, and the Confederate Flag. Ezra and the Farmer.
