    Human Frailty & the Glory of the Incarnation

    June 21, 2018

    The alarm buzzed somewhere beyond my comprehension and wrestled me from my sleep. Weary, groggy, and just a big achy, I gathered myself up, and switched on the light. Shuffling to the kitchen, I started turning over in my mind the day’s to-do list: I need to first make coffee, I need to check to

    • I hate planks. They’re the absolute worst, especially at 6am. But this morning at the gym, when I kept asking myself WHY AM I EVEN DOING THIS TO MYSELF, I was reminded that one of the best things for my health these days is to strengthen my core. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And that’s a lot like Bible study. It’s hard, laborious at times, and some mornings at 6am we wonder why we even dragged ourselves out of bed. But every time we’re in the Word, we’re strengthening our core. We’re building up resilience and health as we firm up our foundation on the unchanging, unwavering, always-solid Word if God. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If your resolve is wavering, take heart. You’re strengthening your core. It takes work and discipline, but in time you’ll see the results in a life more firmly fixed on the truth of the Scriptures. I promise you, it’s the best thing you can do for your health.
    • Pulling out this bad boy for the first time in a while. What joy.
    • Let me tell you a little something about the Woven study. There’s a sweater at the back of my closet. It’s there because it’s nearly unwearable, but also because I can’t bear to throw it out. It’s a sweater I got for Christmas from my in-laws three years ago, and it has always been one of my favorites. I wore it to my first speaking engagement, to friend’s birthday parties, on lazy Sunday afternoons as we munched on our Sabbath cheese board, and on anniversary dates with Austin – it seems to have seen some of the best moments of my life since it arrived on the scene. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But one day I did something terrible. There was a pesky little thread handing out the side. It kept catching the underside of my arm and was driving me up a wall, and in a moment of impatience, I yanked on it. In my mind, this was going to be a smooth, strong tug that would free me from the menacing little thing, but I was so wrong. I pulled and pulled and pulled until I realized: the whole sweater was unraveling on my person. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I learned two valuable lessons that day. One: You should not loose patience with the clothing on your body or you will look ridiculous. And two: Well made things have threads woven seamlessly throughout the garment; pull on one thread and you’ll find it attached somewhere else. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Throughout the Woven study we’re going to be looking at twenty Hebrew and Greek words throughout the Old and New Testaments. We’re going to sit and savor them, study them in their context, and learn what they teach us about God. And then we’re going to find their place in the overarching context of the story of redemption. We’re going to pull on that thread, as it were, and see where else these themes arise in the whole of the narrative. Friends, Greek! Hebrew! you got this! And it’s going to be such fun! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you want to sign up to join you can at the link in my bio. It’s just $6/mo (four week study, $6 ... you get it, right?) and if you sign up this week, you can try it FREE for a week, too.
    • Friends. I couldn’t BE more excited to tell you about the mini-study coming to the DIGITAL study TOMORROW. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But first, a moment of true honesty. Earlier this week I kinda freaked out. I hadn’t realized how late Easter was coming this year and hasn’t planned a study to fill the gap between Jonah and Lent. I felt overwhelmed at the thought of finishing up one of the studies in process in time, and wasn’t sure how to condense anything I’ve written into a four-week study. And then ... enter my inner nerd. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You see, lots of people tell me that it’s rare to want to study Greek and Hebrew. I’ve adjusted to being called a nerd and find it quite the compliment by now. But what I’m NOT okay with it people saying that studying the Bible in-depth is for the academically advanced. That it’s okay for scholars or people with lots of spare time. But that’s just not true, and I’m proof of it. I’m not all that bright, my grades have always been average, and I’m dyslexic. And I love the #biblicallanguages. I love going deep on one word and seeing how much God shows me there. And I figure, why wouldn’t others feel that way too? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And SOOOO tomorrow in the digital study we’re going to be diving into a study called Woven. It’s a study of 20 Greek and Hebrew words that will take us from Genesis to Revelation, showing us the grand and sweeping scope of meta narrative of Scripture (or, the big story of the Bible). Each day, we’ll look at one word in-depth and find its place in the story of redemption. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s going to be just so much fun. You can sign up at the link in my bio and try it free for a week, but the whole study is just $6 ($6/mo for a four week study ... you get it). Get EXCITED, friends! This study may just be my favorite ever. 🧡
    • Lent was a season I had to grow into. Actually, it’s more accurate to say that it grew into me. Since I love seasons committed to specific, deep study, I stumbled upon Lent as a season to sink my roots deep into the Text, to focus for several weeks on just a few chapters of a scripture, and to savor the words of Christ as he walked faithfully and humbly toward the cross. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Our goal in this study is to do just that: to study Luke 21-24 in-depth, moving verse by verse so that we don’t miss a thing. To sit and savor the Text and reflect on the ways of God’s Kingdom that are so opposite of this world. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Lent is just around the corner and this weekend only studies are shipping for FREE!
