An Introduction

Well last week we finished up a 14 day reading/devotion/study on the Tabernacle in the Wilderness. Coming up we are working on studies of the 7 Candlesticks and their relationship to the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, a look at the 7 Feasts in Leviticus practiced by the Israelites and how they point to Christ, and we might even delve a bit into a controversial subject-the 7 Churches of Revelation.

Meanwhile, we are going to start a new section that we will intersperse between our longer studies, entitled ‘BIG WORDS of the BIBLE’. So if you have ever wondered just what this ‘propitiation’ is Frank keeps going on about, or what is meant by ‘sanctification’, we are going to talk about it. More than that though, we hope to answer some questions no one wants to talk about like what is the difference between ‘adultery’ and ‘fornication’ (here’s a hint: don’t do either!) Whats the idea of the Catholic calling communion a ‘transubstantiation’ that Luther said was really ‘consubstantiation’ and Eric thinks Zwingli had the right idea about (Zwingli was the guy Calvin said ‘He might have all the good ideas, but I have a better PR department’!) And we will look at some more obscure things-such as ‘Christophony in the Old Testament’ and some very serious subjects like just what IS ‘blasphemy of the Holy Spirit’ and why is it the ‘Unpardonable Sin’.

But we don’t claim to be ‘great theologians’. (Frank says the only ‘great theologians’ are dead ones, anyway) but we Do have a desire to grow, learn and share. And part of that is being challenged so…have a question about a ‘BIG WORD’ or something biblical related? Send it over and we will do our best! We might know the answer. We might not. But we WILL strive to give you the scriptural basis for our answers. And if we don’t know, we will say ‘let us get back with you on that’ and we will start searching for the answers ourselves. Because that is how we learn, grow and challenge ourselves. We walk together, debate and discuss with the goal of learning more of the goodness (GREATNESS) of God and to draw closer to our Lord! So send them on to eric@fairewynds.com and we will get started!

In Christ,
Eric
