In this episode, Tim and Jon try to tackle some of the glaring questions about the story of Job. They talk about the surprise friend, Elihu, who seems to show up out of nowhere towards the end of the story. They also spend some time discussing Job’s speech in chapter 28. There’s...
Matthew 12:40: "shall be buried deep in the heart of earth for 3 days and nights as Jonah was deep in the belly of the whale." Jonah was alive: But Jonah was always alive in his ordeal. He was alive on the shore,alive in the whale's belly, and alive when vomited out of the...
The prophets, especially Isaiah spoke about the deadliness of wealth, but there was that one verse in Proverbs that really disturbed me: “Your riches won’t help you on Judgment Day; only righteousness counts then.” This verse and all of the others were the cause of many a sleepless nigh...
As you can see, Aaron is called the “saint of the Lord.” That is understandable, although he encouraged Israel to sin by making a golden calf (Exodus 32: 1-5) to worship even though God had specifically said not to (Exodus 20:4). As I reread the story in Exodus 32, the actions...
Jacob was a cheater, Peter had a temper, David had an affair, Noah got drunk, Jonah ran from God, Paul was a murderer, Gideon was insecure, Miriam was a gossip, Martha was a worrier, Sarah was impatient, Moses stuttered (we believe), Rahab was a prostitute, and Lazarus was dead. If...
Paul says that when a heart turns to see the Lord instead of the historical story of Moses, or whatever, the spiritual undercurrent that caused the story’s record can be seen and beheld like uncovering gold while digging. Seeing the gold of the original spirit of authorship under the story...
15 So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of [b]Jonah, do you love Me more than these?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I [c]love You.” He said to him, “Feed My lambs.” 16 He said to him again a second time, “Simon,...
David did not see the problem in what he had done; at least not the weight of it. It took the prophet Nathan telling him a falsified story about one of his subjects to get David riled up about an offense that he himself had done, but had convinced himself was okay. ...

Jonah faced drowning and heart break. Paul defends his mission work by boasting, not of his achievements of church planting, but of his floggings, imprisonment, and beatings. In a world of impostors the Lord authenticates genuine gospel service through the suffering of his servants (2 Tim 1:...
