I have great students, and many of them do great things. But I’m never more proud of my students than when they do things like this! wsfa.com/2024/04/22/pra…
I’d love to know your thoughts on this! growingwiththeoteys.com/blogs/melvins-…
It is much easier to focus on what we THINK others are doing wrong religiously instead of what we KNOW we are doing wrong. Let’s resist hypocrisy! (Luke 6:41-42)
”giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.” Ephesians 5:20-21
If you begin and end your day with prayer, it’s less likely to unravel in the middle.
My recent article, "The Ancient Pedigree of Homosexuality as the Sin of Sodom," appears in the latest issue of @Themelios_TGC. Please give a read and share your thoughts. thegospelcoalition.org/themelios/arti…
Pastor Loran Livingston tore the church up with this one.
“Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.” James 4:10 ESV
Penny for your thoughts? growingwiththeoteys.com/blogs/melvins-…
Commit to the end from the beginning. If you hesitate, you might miss it! (cf. Luke 9:57-62)
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.” John 13:34
A friendly reminder for Christians: Let's watch our speech, on X and everywhere else. Speak the way you would speak if Jesus was standing right next to you. He's even closer than that!
Delve into "A Modern Reflection on Premodern Allegory" by Melvin L. Otey in @SBIJournal. Unravel the significance of patristic and medieval interpreters' approaches to scripture, deserving respect and contemporary contemplation. zenodo.org/records/109381… #BiblicalStudies #Allegory
Beware that you do not attempt to shape Jesus in your image rather than allow him to reshape you in his image!
“Often the consequences of a poor decision can be discerned in advance, through patient pondering beforehand. Some mistakes are unavoidable; others are manufactured by hasty decision making.” Kirk Jones in Addicted to Hurry
”The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:22-23
If you weren't important, if you didn't matter, if you were worthless, Jesus wouldn't have died for you. But he did (John 3:16; 1 John 3:16)! You can’t fathom just how precious you are, but his sacrifice is incontrovertible proof.
Funny how this works, right? “Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things.” Romans 2:1
”For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again.“ John 10:17
