Placing a Bible Verse in the pattern of Sound Words (2 Timothy 1:13)
I continue to study and work on how the bible frames the demands of the New Testament Law upon unbelievers since we have a new lawgiver Jesus instead of Moses. This concept of framing is very important because to now see every verse in its Canonical framework can make us misuse texts. Paul says to Timothy: “Follow the pattern of the sound words that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.” (2 Timothy 1:13 ESV). Notice that we are not just to follow the words but the pattern (the framework) of sound

Articles | How does God guide? | Phillip Jensen
Here are 4 propositions that Philip Jensen suggests should guide our thinking about how God guides: God, in his sovereignty, uses everything to guide us ‘behind the scenes’. In many and varied ways, God can guide us with our conscious co-operation. God does promise to guide us by his Spirit and Scripture. God does not promise to use any other means to guide us other than his Spirit and Scripture. I believe that it is very important to distinguish between “behind the scene” guidance and “conscious co-operation” guidance if we are to understand God’s will for our lives. How does God guide?

Memorising Scripture
Memorising Scripture: “ by John Brand (encourage expository excellence)It’s nearly two months since I posted on memorising scripture as a discipline in itself but also as part of sermon preparation (here). It’s nearly two months since 119v7.com went live, encouraging the memorising of longer passages of Scripture, rather than just isolated texts, important and necessary as that is. I thought I’d flag it up again by way of mentioning that we currently have about 60 people from all around the world memorising passages of Scripture and in the last 7 weeks or so have learned Psalms 1 and 19, 2 John
Leading Without Power
by John Pearson John Pearson and Associates Even though I quote Max De Pree several times a month, I was surprised in looking back at my previous 198 book reviews that I’ve only reviewed one of his books, Leadership Is an Art. De Pree was chairman and CEO of Herman Miller, Inc. (the office furniture manufacturer). He wrote that a financial analyst once asked him, “What is one of the most difficult things that you personally need to work on?” De Pree’s answer: “The interception of entropy.” How many leaders ponder that one? So when I was in Chicago last Monday
Does It Make Sense?
Does It Make Sense?: ” by Peter MeadIt seems obvious, but it needs to be said. When we speak we need to make sure we make sense. There are various reasons why we may not make sense to our listeners. Here are a few to be aware of:1. Obscure Language – If you obfuscate using technical, rare or archaic vocabulary, then you will lose folks. They will probably still compliment you on your “deep” message, but be alert enough to spot the implication of that encouraging feedback!2.
