Witherington on "The New 'Answers in Genesis' New Testament-- Children's Edition"

Ben Witherington of Asbury Theological Seminary writes,

Jesus rides into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday on the foal of a raptor. People attempt to feed the raptor by laying palm branches on the road as he looks hungry.

To God be the Glory

"...if anyone makes the assistance of grace depend on the humility or obedience of man and does not agree that it is a gift of grace itself that we are obedient and humble, he contradicts the Apostle who says, "What have you that you did not receive?" (1 Cor. 4:7), and, "But by the grace of God I am what I am" (1 Cor. 15:10). (Council of Orange: Canon 6)

Gratitude for Grace

I am not what I want to be.
I am not what I hope to be.
But by the grace of God, I am not what I was. - D.A. Carson

"The Blasphemy Challenge"

I found the following in this months Discipleship Journal. The following will make your heart hurt and your skin crawl.

WHAT WOULD YOU WAGER FOR YOUR SOUL? Visitors to www.blasphemychallenge.com are invited to risk eternal damnation in exchange for a DVD of the documentary The God Who Wasn't There. Participants must post online a vidoe of themselves verbally denying the exitence of the Holy Spirit (the unforgivable sin according to one interpretation of Mk. 3:28-29).
