Writing Project News and Prayer Requests

Chapter Three, From the Couch December 20, 2022 8 Comments

Wow, posting twice in the same month! About a week and a half ago, I posted “A Christmas List for the Christian Wife”, and now this! This return to writing for Chapter 3 Ministries was made possible because it is Christmas time, and therefore I’m taking a break from a major writing project that I’ve been working on.

Since I’m still on my break, I thought it might be a good time to share more about my project and update what’s happening at C3M. This post is also for my future self. It might be interesting to look back at this post someday and see how things worked out. […]

BIBLICAL DISCERNMENT is vital. Without it, anyone can fall prey to false teachers and their teachings.

This is especially true for victims of domestic abuse and dating abuse. […]

A Zero Fluff Bible Study on the Deity of Christ: Lesson 8

Apologetics, God, Jesus, Studying the Scriptures, Theology October 29, 2019 Leave a Comment

In this lesson, we are going to consider some of the incommunicable attributes of God. We will apply them as a sort of litmus test. For if Jesus is God, we would not be surprised to see and would even expect to see incommunicable attributes of God attributed to Him. Does the Bible show that Jesus has attributes like omnipresence, eternality, immutability, and others? We shall soon see.

A Zero Fluff Bible Study on the Deity of Christ: Lesson 7

For our purposes in our study on the deity of Christ, we can use what the Bible reveals about God to help us determine if Jesus is God.

We would not have to see all of God’s works and attributes in Jesus, but we would expect to see some. So did New Testament writers record that Jesus did the works of God and did they write that He had the attributes of God? Let’s take a look.
