St. Pete’s Blog
Posted on December 23, 2008 by petermlopez
I have started a new blog called St. Pete’s Blog. It won’t change what I am doing here at Beauty of the Bible, but it’s my outlet for comedy relief.
I tend to obsess over Bible verses, and it might take me a month to finish a post about this or that verse (or, a year [...]

Fresh Focus
Posted on December 22, 2008 by petermlopez
I want to credit our church for fashioning ministries around the members rather than trying to fashion the members around the ministries.
For example, our church has started a prophetic art ministry and a writers’ circle. These ministries developed around members who were interested in these artistic media. And when the church goes out and meets [...]

For the Kingdom of Heaven is Like…
Posted on November 20, 2008 by petermlopez
Our pastor has been preaching a sermon series on what the kingdom of heaven is like, using as his text, inter alia, the parables in the book of Matthew. At the end of one of his sermons, he asked us to write our own parable using our occupations, capacities as parents, or grandparents, etc. [...]

Scofield Study Bible - An Oldie But Goodie
Posted on November 6, 2008 by petermlopez
I just recently acquired an Oxford University Press Scofield Study Bible (KJV). It is black bonded leather with the 1917 notes. It’s really quite lovely.
I don’t want to get into a whole debate about dispensationalist theology - I’ll leave that to others - suffice it to say, I am not a dispensationalist, although [...]

Hebrew - The Divine Language
Posted on November 3, 2008 by petermlopez
I have spent a lot of time lately contemplating the Hebrew language (even more than usual). I simply cannot escape the conclusion that the language is supernaturally composed. It almost makes me wish I was a statistician so that I could calculate the odds of a human or group of humans developing a [...]
