SAME ENEMY AT WORK; SAME POWERFUL NAME

When I decided to write the essay on Matthew 28:19 and Parallelism, it was with confidence, energy and resolve.  I jumped up from the couch, stood tall and with pep in my step walked downstairs to my computer.  As I pulled up my office chair and placed my hands on the keyboard suddenly there appeared wasps swarming on the inside of the windows just in front of my computer.  There were 10 to 15 wasps buzzing, hitting the window and then flying overhead.  How eerie. Then the thought hit me:  I am getting ready to write about the authority and power of the name of Jesus. . . .

It was at the last hour, so to speak, while building the website to feature my father’s writing, that I decided to add my own blog. Yes, occasionally I get an insight into the scriptures that is worthy to mention. From Dad I learned a style of bible study that uses the entire bible, linking like phrases together, even if they don’t immediately appear to go together. (Thus the importance of a good chain reference feature). The results are quite rewarding. As St. Augustine is credited as saying: The new [Testament] is in the old concealed; the old [Testament] is in the new revealed.
To further expand on that thought, Dad was a firm believer that the bible does not ask a question that it does not answer somewhere else in the scriptures and that symbols and definitions hold true throughout the entire Bible. These ideas have greatly enhanced my understanding of the bible and theology.

Having said all that, I’ll say this: I hope I can do C. Leo Jordan proud.
