I am completely unfamiliar with Mr. Lawrenz. Other than this single blog post at BibleGateway.com, I have not read anything he has written, so take the following for whatever it
is worth.
“Love often manifests itself in giving people what they can’t appreciate and don’t want, and
in demanding from them precisely what they most want to retain for themselves.” — Tom

Decently and in Order [Part 2]
If we’re honest, many of the conclusions generally drawn about first century church order and the way the early Christians conducted themselves when they met together are based on a verse or two here and there and the occasional example. Some things are very clear; others are mainly inference and supposition.

Many Fishers and Many Hunters
In France: the Telegraph
declares “the exodus has begun”.
In Germany, according to the BBC, “anti-Semitism is acceptable again”. They tell the story of a rabbi who no longer wears his
skullcap in certain parts of Berlin after being assaulted last year.
And The Tower says Denmark — all of Scandinavia, really — has become “home to a scary, new form of anti-Semitism”.

The Implacability of Hatred
Some bright spark (okay, got it now, it was a former Dutch cabinet minister, not just your garden-variety bright spark) last week suggested a unique solution
to bring about peace in the Middle East.
Ready? Okay, here it is: Force Israel’s entire population to move to the United States.
Ready? Okay, here it is: Force Israel’s entire population to move to the United States.
Leave aside all the other current mid-east hotspots, the “Arab
Spring” that turned out to be an Islamic Spring, ISIS, U.S. failure to change
hearts and minds on the ground in Iraq and so on, and let’s suppose Herman
Heinsbroek’s idea has a hope in Hades of actually bringing about lasting peace
in Palestine.

Judenhass and Armageddon
In an article entitled “A Rare Point of Agreement”, journalist Mark Steyn points out that “ethnic Europeans and excitable young Muslims”
only agree on one thing: that “all the current troubles of the world are
because of … Israel”.
In fact, anti-Semitism is the only thing around which not
only Europe but most countries of the world are currently able to unite. Steyn
quotes Brendan O’Neill, who wonders:
“Why are Western liberals always more offended by Israeli militarism than by any other kind of militarism? It’s extraordinary.”
O’Neill continues by noting that:
“Anyone possessed of a critical faculty must at some point have wondered why there’s such a double standard in relation to Israeli militarism, why missiles fired by the Jewish State are apparently more worthy of condemnation than missiles fired by Washington, London, Paris, the Turks, Assad, or just about anyone else on Earth.”
It’s not only extraordinary; I’d contend it’s miraculous.

The Faithful Have Vanished
“The
faithful have vanished”, David wrote.
Not that the
faithful have been exterminated and evil has finally won the day.
Not that the
faithful have apostacized or lost their salt.
They’ve
vanished. Elvis has left the building, folks.
This is not simply David’s personal experience here. No way, not without at least some exaggeration or hyperbole. Matthew Henry says, “It is supposed that David
penned this psalm, in the latter part of Saul’s reign, when there was a general
decay of honesty and piety, when religion, truth, and righteousness, seemed
ready to expire, and every kind of wickedness was without control.”
Yeah, I
suppose. Maybe.

The Messiah
Among the millions of Jews in the world today, only a small
percentage even believe in the promise of Messiah at all. That percentage seems
to be growing, but in North America relatively few Jews acknowledge the Bible’s
teaching about a coming king who would redeem and rescue Israel.
The Meaning and the Promise
Messiah is a Hebrew word meaning ‘Anointed One’. ‘Christ’ is the Greek word for the very same thing. In the Old Testament, prophets, priests and kings were anointed to show that they had been chosen by God. However, there were also many prophecies which spoke of a special Anointed One who would be prophet, priest and king all in one. This was the One who was referred to as ‘the Messiah’, and the promise of His coming gave suffering Jews hope for many centuries. Today many Jews have given up on that promise. However, gentile Christians and a small number of believing Jews believe that Jesus is the Messiah who was promised to Israel. He has not yet fulfilled all the prophecies which were given about the Messiah, but He will come back and fulfill the rest of the prophecies soon.
