"The resurrection of the Messiah God had done, through Jesus, what they were hoping and expecting that God would do for Israel. The redemption, revival and resurrection of Israel were embodied in the resurrection of Jesus the Messiah." —Christopher Wright

Recently, we asked our @logosbible.bsky.social community to share their favorite books on Christology, the study of the person and work of Christ. Here are some of the Logos community’s top recommended books. www.logos.com/grow/best-ch...

Just in time for Christmas, I sit down with Graham Cole to talk about God the Son's becoming human—what exactly it means and why it matters for our salvation. www.logos.com/grow/live-in...

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year.” Except when it’s not. Like a magnifying glass, Christmas time not only spotlights what’s already present but enlarges our perception of it. This includes life’s joys—but also life’s sorrows.

This Friday is Reformation Day. But what was the Protestant Reformation, and why does It matter? I sat down with Joel Beeke on Logos Live (@logosbible.bsky.social) to discuss. www.logos.com/grow/live-pr...

The top ten books on preaching as recommended by our @logosbible.bsky.social community (plus five additional honorable mentions from me): www.logos.com/grow/nook-be...

What is expository preaching? In this episode, I sit down with Dave Helm to discuss. www.logos.com/grow/live-ex... @logosbible.bsky.social

A friend shared this episode with me, observing how this sort of thing often occurs in contexts of spiritual abuse. /1 bibleproject.com/pod... podcasts.apple.com/u...

“Revilers will not inherit the kingdom of God.” —The Apostle Paul (1 Cor 6:10)

Why can't Arminianists and Calvinians just be friends?

Talking to my kids about the new creation and resurrected bodies: 7yo: “Will grown-ups will have energy then?”

God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform. He plants his footsteps in the sea And rides upon the storm. /1

PSA: Calvinism is not the same thing as fatalism.

The promise, “that you may live long in the land that I’m giving you,” in the fifth commandment, “honor your father and mother” (Ex 20:12), is specifically about Israel dwelling in the promised land, not a promise of old age. (Also, this meme is overused.)

Youth groups in the early 00’s were wild. Sometimes I look back, and I think some of those activities are misdemeanors if not felonies.

Me: “I’m teaching a class at church.” Daughter: “For kids?” “No, for grown ups.” “Do you color?” “No.” “Sounds boring.”

Lament is the Bible’s minor key.

Don't overlook the Exegetical Summary Series. It doesn't get enough attention, but it's a go-to resource. It surveys all the major exegetical issues and positions in a text, often covering more issues than your average commentary. logos.com/product/1978... @logosbible.bsky.social

"If we hold fast to him, 'when all around our soul gives way,' then we show that he is more to be desired than all we have lost." —John Piper

Thanks for this, Derek. Caricatures and genuinely inadequate accounts of PSA certainly abound and should be rejected. But I’m convinced a proper account of PSA aligns with Scripture’s teaching. www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/come...
