Walk in Wisdom – Gleanings from the Scriptures
From: Heb. 9.11 But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) 12 he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption. 13 For if the sprinkling of defiled persons with the blood of goats and bulls and with the ashes of a heifer sanctifies for the purification of the flesh, 14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.
In our current study in Romans, this past Sunday we were reminded that the Christian is one who remains “in his kindness” (verse 22). In other words, we find Christ our TOTAL sufficiency for salvation, and can add nothing more to His work.We depend utterly and completely upon His kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
As I pondered that, Edward Mote’s famous words came to mind: “My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness…”
It was then I felt a need to express the same thing but in the negative – i.e. that while our hope is indeed built on nothing LESS than Jesus’ blood and righteousness, so it is also based upon nothing MORE. He is our all sufficient Savior.
So it is I offer up to you the follow lyrics to be sung to the very same tune. I hope it serves to bless your soul.

I’m not a big Doug Wilson fan, but when something is said right, its said right, and credit is due.
While he did not preface his remarks in this entry yesterday on his Blog & Mablog with the following text, it is appropriate nonetheless.
You can read the original HERE
From: Col 3:21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.

The New York Times article HERE is titled “Raising the Titanic, Sinking Christianity.” Movie maker James Cameron says he has found “proof” that Jesus was human only, and they have his bones, and those of his family, and they’re going to expose it all on TV. In the words of that great icon of American deep thought – Dorothy Gale – “lions and tigers and bears – oh my!”
Caskets and bone dust and fiction – oh my!
The TIMES, in their own fine effort at investigative reporting quotes Canada’s Globe and Mail as reporting:
“If the evidence adduced is correct, the bone boxes, and microscopic remains of DNA still contained inside, would constitute the first archaeological evidence of the existence of the Christian savior and his family.
“Tests on mitochondrial DNA obtained from the Jesus and Mariamne boxes and conducted at Lakehead University’s Paleo-DNA laboratory in Thunder Bay, show conclusively that the two individuals were not maternally related. According to Carney Matheson, head of the lab, this likely means they were related by marriage.”
Three comments.
- I see. And just who provided a DNA sample from the real Jesus so that they could test it against that for authentication? Humm. Yeah, I thought so.
- And, the only answer for the non-linked DNA of the two males found which shows they were not maternally related and that “likely means they were related by marriage” – likely means that why? Because we like it! That’s why.
- And so the entire events of the New Testament are so fabricated that Jesus REMAINS in Jerusalem, has a family and not ONE SINGLE OUTSIDE SOURCE AT THE TIME point to His very public family tomb? OK, unh, are you maybe interested in a deal I have on some ocean front property in Ohio? I’ve got a deal.
’nuff said.

Rom. 11.13 Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry 14 in order somehow to make my fellow Jews jealous, and thus save some of them. 15 For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead?
