As truth seekers, we must position ourselves to speak into tense or even drastically unrighteous, unjust, and dangerous situations. Such an enterprise may seem uninviting or perilous, but our status as children of God with divine resources as our birthright in Christ demands that we not shrink from this responsibility. And, yes, this responsibility is a privilege. Consider the words of 1 Peter 2:21-23: For you have been called for this purpose, because Christ also suffered […] - [The Marrow Show | Church and State: A Biblical Perspective](https://marrowministries.org/the-marrow-show-church-and-state-a-biblical-perspective) - [Biblical Principles of Endurance for Pastoral Ministry](https://marrowministries.org/biblical-principles-of-endurance-for-pastoral-ministry): “I feel thin…. stretched. Like butter scraped over too much bread.” Pastors can relate to Bilbo’s comments here. Pastoral ministry can wear a man thin, stretching and straining him. Paul expressed something similar as he dealt with the issues in the church of Corinth (2 Corinthians 4:8-20). The weight of pastoral ministry and the weakness of the pastor stretch men beyond their strength. These difficulties persist even in healthy church contexts. Furthermore, the pastor’s job is of eternal significance. His vocation is soul care. He leads Christ’s sheep to green pastures through the ordinary means of grace. He brings the […] - [Why Pilate?](https://marrowministries.org/why-pilate): Three people get shoutouts in the Apostle’s Creed: Jesus, Mary, and Pontius Pilate. We hardly need to puzzle over why Jesus is included. It is, after all, the Creed of His Apostles. The Virgin Mary’s inclusion is likewise unsurprising; if you mention someone (after Jesus), Theotokos seems an obvious choice. But why Pilate? The Heidelberg Catechism asks and answers that question in Q&A 38: Q. Why did he suffer “under Pontius Pilate” as judge? A. So that he, though innocent, might be condemned by an earthly judge, and so free us from the severe judgment of God that was to […] - [Rejecting the Echo Chamber](https://marrowministries.org/rejecting-the-echo-chamber): Over the past few months, I have witnessed a spate of curious memes on the pages of theological groups I am a part of on social media; perhaps you’ve seen them, too.  The memes to which I refer are the ones that give headshots of various theologians, amongst which are numbered but unoccupied squares meant to represent seats on a commercial airliner. In short, the text accompanying the meme asks you, the viewer, with whom you’d prefer to sit. Many theological group members are pastors, wannabe pastors, or at least serious disciples active in local church life and ministry. Admittedly, […] - [Thoughts on Israel part 2 - S1.E10 The Marrow Show](https://marrowministries.org/thoughts-on-israel-part-2-s1-e10-the-marrow-show) - [Thoughts on Israel pt1, S1.E10 - The Marrow Show](https://marrowministries.org/thoughts-on-israel-pt1-s1-e10-the-marrow-show) - [The Nicholas Alford Interview part 2, S1.E9](https://marrowministries.org/the-nicholas-alford-interview-part-2-s1-e9) - [The Nicolas Alford Interview pt1, S1.E9](https://marrowministries.org/the-nicolas-alford-interview-pt1-s1-e9) - [Is Church Membership Biblical? part 2, S1.E7 - The Marrow Show](https://marrowministries.org/is-church-membership-biblical-part-2-s1-e7-the-marrow-show) - [Is Church Membership Biblical pt. 1 S.1, E.7 – The Marrow Show](https://marrowministries.org/is-church-membership-biblical-pt-1-s-1-e-7-the-marrow-show) - [Conscience pt. 2 S.1, E.6 – The Marrow Show](https://marrowministries.org/conscience-pt-2-s-1-e-6-the-marrow-show) - [Conscience, Season 1, Episode 6 – The Marrow Show](https://marrowministries.org/conscience-season-1-episode-6-the-marrow-show) - [Winsome Part 2, Season 1, Episode 5 - The Marrow Show](https://marrowministries.org/winsome-part-2-season-1-episode-5-the-marrow-show) - [Winsome, Season 1, Episode 5, The Marrow Show](https://marrowministries.org/winsome-season-1-episode-5-the-marrow-show) - [Nigeria Part 2, Season 1, Episode 4, The Marrow Show](https://marrowministries.org/nigeria-part-2-season-1-episode-4-the-marrow-show) - [Nigeria, Season 1, Episode 4, The Marrow Show](https://marrowministries.org/nigeria-season-1-episode-4-the-marrow-show) - [Festive Evangelism](https://marrowministries.org/festive-evangelism): The holiday season is a time for gathering with family and friends to enjoy a feast and express gratitude. But amidst the festivities, we learn a profound lesson from Jesus – the art of Festive Evangelism. Reflecting on Jesus’ constant pleas and open invitation, we discover valuable insights for our evangelistic efforts. Jesus Is Ever Pleading John 7:37: On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Picture the scene: Jesus extending his invitation on the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles […] - [Thanksgiving part 2, Season 1, The Marrow Show Episode 3](https://marrowministries.org/thanksgiving-part-2-season-1-the-marrow-show-episode-3) - [Thanksgiving, Episode 3, The Marrow Show](https://marrowministries.org/thanksgiving-episode-3-the-marrow-show): Season 1, Episode 3: "Thanksgiving" Join hosts Nick Kennicot, Alexander Wade, and Luke Walker in the bounteous Thanksgiving Episode of "The Marrow Show."

Ross-shire: Mentor, 2023 I just checked my Logos Bible Software to find 160 different commentaries on the book of Romans, and another dozen or so on my bookshelves. Romans is one of the most commented-on and preached books of the Bible, so do we really need another commentary on what John Piper called “The greatest letter ever written”? The newly released Expository Outlines & Observations on Romans by Rob Ventura is uniquely designed, not to replace other commentaries, but to assist preachers and teachers of […] - [Confident Humility, Episode 1, The Marrow Show](https://marrowministries.org/confident-humility-episode-1-the-marrow-show) - [The Gospel Gives You Wings](https://marrowministries.org/gospel-gives-you-wings): In addition to a long, flowing mane, the noggin of English Puritan Stephen Charnock also produced a heavyweight, two-volume work on the attributes of God. It is considered by many to be “the work on the character and attributes of God.”[1] In volume one, he poses the following question: Would any man seek God merely because he is or love him because he is if he did not know that he should be acceptable to him? Great question. Would anyone seek God if he didn’t believe that God would accept him? Of course not. No one would, and more importantly, […] - [Saheed Adepoju: My Journey to the United States and the Path to Faith](https://marrowministries.org/saheed-adepoju) - [Spiritual Astigmatism](https://marrowministries.org/spiritual-astigmatism): In late December 2016, my wife, Dana, and I went to the optometrist for the first time in eons. We both needed new prescription glasses, and our vision insurance through my school was crying to be used before the year’s end. I knew that my old lenses were not getting the job done, so I expected that my prescription had changed. Our eye doctor confirmed this and reported—to me, a bit surprisingly—that my astigmatism had improved. What is Astigmatism? Astigmatism is an imperfection in the curvature of the eye that causes blurred vision. In one suffering from this malady, the […] - [A Bite-Sized Theology](https://marrowministries.org/a-bite-sized-theology): An Appeal for Catechesis for Communion With God “Dead Artifacts” Catechesis is dead. The catechisms of the Reformation have become like bookholders that point us to a past time. They have become like trophies that symbolize the Reformed tradition’s past theological discipline and distinctions. They are historical artifacts that we appeal to for theological superiority and to boast of our tradition’s historical legacy. But we rarely view these catechisms as helpful instruments for congregational discipleship and family worship. Our churches may give lip service to the use of catechisms, but practically, many of them doubt their legitimate use. Even those […] - [Crouching Wisdom, Hidden Insight](https://marrowministries.org/crouching-wisdom-hidden-insight): The title of the 2000 motion picture Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a translation of a Chinese idiom that “describes a place or situation that is full of unnoticed masters.”[1] Keeping one’s skills hidden is a classic aspect of Kung Fu lore. In legend, the person no one suspects is the one who ought to be regarded most. In the realm of wisdom, there was a real legend named King Solomon. It is written that “God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding beyond measure, and breadth of mind like the sand on the seashore, so that Solomon’s wisdom surpassed the wisdom […] - [The Covenant of Works and Being Afraid of God](https://marrowministries.org/covenant-of-works-afraid-of-god): In his autobiography, Surprised by Joy, C.S. Lewis tells the story of how he came to know God. It was not a pleasant experience at first. As he became aware that he was being pursued, he described feeling like a mouse fleeing from a cat and said he was “perhaps the most dejected and reluctant convert in all of England.”[1] But at that point, Lewis had only come to believe in a Supreme Being, a Creator. He had not yet learned Christ and the free love of God in Christ. He saw God as the Great King but not yet […] - [Episode 02, Keep it Civil](https://marrowministries.org/keep-it-civil-episode-2) - [Seeing Ain't Believing](https://marrowministries.org/seeing-aint-believing): “Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many believed in his name when they saw the signs that he was doing. But Jesus on his part did not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people and needed no one to bear witness about man, for he himself knew what was in man” (John 2:23-25). As children, many of us were fascinated by the performances of famous magicians like David Blaine and Chris Angel. Their tricks seemed like magic, almost miraculous. However, we never believed that Chris Angel was an angel or considered David Blaine as […] - [Why Can't We Fly?](https://marrowministries.org/why-cant-we-fly): Oh, we will. Just not yet. For now, life on Earth weighs us down. As one of our own poets has said: Only the gods can watch the earth twist I’m physically trapped down on the surface[1] The reason for this is, of course, the pesky force of gravity. But did you ever stop to think what life would be like without it? Imagine floating around helplessly when the CO2 in your jet-boost “Air” Jordan’s runs out. And nobody wants to see a lost puppy float off into the stratosphere when her gravity-collar runs out of battery. (Poor girl. Hey, […] - [Sharing Fences Instead of Building Walls](https://marrowministries.org/sharing-fences-instead-of-building-walls): Most Christians are likely saddened when we hear folks in our local fellowships speak with disdain about doctrine. It’s not uncommon for saints in our midst to miss the point of what doctrine is and, regrettably, to be unaware of its inherent value and goal. Properly defined, understood, and applied, doctrine should be all about fruitfulness, not just in minds and hearts but also in practical daily living. And don’t forget about unity. I resonate strongly with Alister McGrath’s trenchant explanations of Christian doctrine, given in his 1990 book Understanding Doctrine: Doctrine about Christ arises from the need to tell […] - [God in a Nesting Doll](https://marrowministries.org/god-in-a-nesting-doll): Don’t Put God in a Box God in a box. We’ve all heard it. Don’t do it under any circumstances. Do not put God in a box! I get the sentiment, kinda. The saying seems to be trying to tell people, “God can do anything, literally anything. So don’t put limits on him. Let him do what he does.” But even this smells strangely like putting God in a box. What? God can’t do something unless you give him permission? That seems sort of like a box, doesn’t it? I find that a rather bizarre sentiment. You Must Put God […] - [Pastor Sisyphus](https://marrowministries.org/pastor-sisyphus): Pastor S glances at his boulder for a moment and then at the well-worn trail leading up the mountain. He shuts his eyes against the discouraging sight, leans his shoulder into the stone, and begins… A pastor needs to know theology. If he cannot obtain a Master of Divinity from a solid seminary, he will need to acquire that knowledge on his own. Even with an M.Div, he should be spending a few hours each week in the writings of great men. He needs to read the great “old dead guys” who have shaped the theological dialogue through history. Read […] - [God Save the King](https://marrowministries.org/god-save-the-king): I am currently preaching through the life of King David in 1 and 2 Samuel. As every reader of the Bible knows, the stories of David are action-packed. His life was a bumpy ride with plenty of ups and downs (and downs and ups). He is often within a step of death. But all along, God saves David. It reminds me of chess. The goal of that majestic game is to take your opponent’s king and save your own. David is God’s king on the chessboard: “Behold, I have set my king on Zion, my holy hill” (Psalm 2:6). His […] - [The All-Sufficient Christ](https://marrowministries.org/the-all-sufficient-christ): I am a bi-vocational pastor, and for my full-time job, I am a plumber. I have been a plumber for just over eight years. One of the things you quickly learn as a plumber is how important it is to keep your glue joints clean. The glue used to seal together fittings and pipe creates a strong bond. Once that glue joint has dried and sealed, it is very difficult to rip the fitting out of the pipe. Even Popeye would find it a challenge. But if that glue is diluted with just a little bit of water or corrupted […] - [The Jesus Juke, The Marrow Show](https://marrowministries.org/the-jesus-juke-the-marrow-show) - [Three Days Remain](https://marrowministries.org/three-days-remain): A Poem for the Triduum Paschal (Great Three Days)[1] Wisdom she shines, but misunderstood. Glorious plans for tomorrow. Impossible dreams come through sorrow. There is no other way. Servant he must not stray. Evil. Foul play. They slay. Three days remain, See Glory say.   Soon it was dark. Face forsaken. Elysian fields, staccato. Hardly a sound, Jericho. There is no other way. Servant below with dray. Foul evil cackles flay. Two days remain, See Glory say. The earth is the LORD’s, the fullness thereof. Who shall ascend the holy hill? The Gates of Hades splayed. Dragon and demons prey.

Our goal is to help spread the preaching of the true gospel in Nigeria, and we are doing this by utilizing a three-pronged approach: Provide Sound Biblical Resources, Theological Training, and Financial Support. By 2022 we had donated over 8,000 books (valued at $185,000), funded reformed theological education initiatives, sponsored a conference and a mission trip to the tune of $25,000, and supported missionary pastors and […] - [The Little Sprout that Will, Part 2](https://marrowministries.org/the-little-sprout-that-will-part-2): The Little Sprout that Will, Part 1 The prophet Isaiah goes on to forecast the promised rule of Christ, highlighting the righteousness of His reign. He says this One will render righteous judgments, for He will see things as they are. The Spirit of knowledge equips Him for this. Our Lord Jesus fulfilled this in the days of his flesh, for He “knew what was in man” (John 2:25). The Spirit of counsel shall equip Him to be truly fair. In his fairness, He will pay special attention to the poor, defending and asserting their rights. When He comes to […] - [The Universe, The Marrow Show](https://marrowministries.org/the-universe-the-marrow-show) - [The Little Sprout That Will, Part 1](https://marrowministries.org/the-little-sprout-that-will-part-1): Isaiah was called by the Lord and tasked with prophesying, among other things, destruction and woe to his people and also to the nations. When he asked the Lord how long he should do so, the Lord replied, “Until cities lie waste without inhabitant, and houses without people, and the land is a desolate waste, and the Lord removes people far away…” (Isaiah 6:11–12). The coming destruction of Jerusalem hovered on the horizon of history with the kingdom of Babylon to come, but in the meantime, Zion would also be assaulted by the mighty empire of the Assyrians. Through Isaiah, […] - [Look and Live!](https://marrowministries.org/look-and-live): Why I Interpret John 3:16 as an Invitation Some may not think I’m a Calvinist when it comes to John 3:16. Actually, I’m a John Calvinist when I interpret this verse (double entendre intended). I don’t think the verse (and its larger context) is simply designed to teach people biblical doctrines or facts. It has a larger aim. Namely, God, through the apostle John, wants to solicit a response on the part of the reader. Daddy Bought Some Ice Cream We all know that indicatives or interrogatives can be used as “directives.” “Honey, I don’t have any blue socks” is […] - [No Ragrets](https://marrowministries.org/no-ragrets): I’m not completely sure it’s authentic, but something in my moderately dark sense of humor hopes it is. I’m talking about the photo of the man who got a massive tattoo across his chest, intending to declare to the world: “no regrets” – but accidentally misspelled it “no ragrets.” I’d say he’s got at least one regret now. Maybe you identify with people who say they have no regrets – I don’t. I have plenty. From honest mistakes to specific sins to missed opportunities I can’t get back, there are many things I’d change about my life if I could […] - [Deconstruction, Episode 2, The Marrow Show](https://marrowministries.org/deconstruction-episode-2-the-marrow-show) - [Book Review | A New Exposition of the London Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689](https://marrowministries.org/book-review-a-new-exposition-of-the-london-baptist-confession-of-faith-of-1689): Ventura, Rob, ed. A New Exposition of the London Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689. Ross-shire: Mentor, 2022 Throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, well over 100 reformed confessions of faith were written and adopted by faithful congregations. These confessions often reflect their regional and highly charged political atmospheres; however, they share significant agreements on essential elements of Christian doctrine. Many of the confessions have become relics of the past, but the best of them continue to be subscribed to by faithful Christians today, and among them is the 1689 Second London Baptist Confession of Faith (2LBC).  Since 1689, the […] - [The Value of the Old Testament, Part 3](https://marrowministries.org/the-value-of-the-old-testament-part-3): The Value of the Old Testament, Part 1 The Value of the Old Testament, Part 2 The preceding objections, and many more which are constantly spewing forth, as it were, from the pits of Orthanc, must be dispatched with so that the exquisite beauty of the Old Testament may stand forth to Christians. Its writings are exceedingly valuable to the faith of Christians. We know Him through this Book. What reason can there possibly be for neglecting the paths upon which God has bidden us to tread? For the One we encounter in the pages of the Old Testament is […] - [Lights Out](https://marrowministries.org/lights-out): It can be shocking at times to realize how open and honest the Bible is when it talks to us about the nature of the life of faith. Even when I read the sayings of the Lord Jesus Christ in the gospels, there are times when it’s almost as if He’s putting people off from following Him, almost like He thinks of mentioning every conceivable obstacle to put in the way of believing Him and following Him. Right at the outset of His public ministry, Jesus tells His disciples that following Him will mean unabated persecution and fierce opposition. He […] - [Misery and Malevolence](https://marrowministries.org/misery-and-malevolence): I hate it when film makers take a perfectly excellent book and ruin it by attempting to make a movie out of it. No doubt, each one of us can probably think of a litany of our favorite books that the silver screen has forever tarnished. Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein is one such book that should be on everyone’s list. I read the book in high school but cared very little for reading then and absorbed none of it. Prior to and for many years after this failed attempt at expanding my education, my grasp of Frankenstein was tenuous at best. […] - [Our Compassionate God](https://marrowministries.org/our-compassionate-god): We read in Psalm 103:13, “As a father pities his children, so the Lord pities those who fear him.” The Hebrew word means to love deeply, to have tender affection, or to have compassion. This text tells us that God’s attitude toward His children is one of tender affection and compassion. He has compassion on those who fear Him. Consider briefly how this compassion of God toward his children is described in this psalm. First of all, God, in His relationship with His children, is slow to anger, and when He is angry with us, He does not stay angry […] - [Deconstruction, Episode 1, The Marrow Show](https://marrowministries.org/deconstruction-episode-1-the-marrow-show) - [The Value of the Old Testament, Part 2](https://marrowministries.org/the-value-of-the-old-testament-part-2): The Value of the Old Testament, Part 1 In order for the Old Testament to hold any value for the church, it must first hold relevance for the church. Does any such relevance exist? The Old Testament is relevant because it is the foundation of the New Testament Church. When Jesus rose from the dead, he said this to His disciples: “Thus it is written…that repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in His name to all nations” (Luke 24:46–47). That is to say, the Old Testament (if this Rabbi is to be believed) is all about the […] - [His Love is Here to Stay](https://marrowministries.org/his-love-is-here-to-stay): No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:37-39) There is perhaps no better example than Romans 8:37-39 throughout Scripture that highlights the fact that Christians are secure in Christ and that we can have overwhelming confidence in God’s love for all eternity. This […] - [Typo or Typology?](https://marrowministries.org/typo-or-typology): In 1985 a couple of Moroccan brothers took to the streets and shocked the world with what would become, let’s be honest, the coolest fad known to man. If you had em’, you were him; if you didn’t have em’, you wanted to be him. The success was short-lived, however, as they have since vanished into the oblivion of evaporating trends. But for those few years in the ’90s, all the cool kids were rocking, yes, you guessed it… JNCO jeans, baby. There appear to be many parallels between the fashion trends in the culture and the theological trends in […] - ["Dear..." - A Poem on the Letters to the Seven Churches (Revelation 2-4)](https://marrowministries.org/dear-a-poem-on-the-letters-to-the-seven-churches-revelation-2-4): Dear Ephesus, you work so hard and wicked people there you barred. Yet you have lost your earlier love, so now repent; love God above.   Dear Smyrna, rich, while poor, in pain— fear not to suffer once again. Be faithful, even unto death, and I will give you life and breath.   Dear Pergamum, where Satan lives, your faith, surprisingly, still thrives. But you condone such heresy if you do not repent, you’ll die!   Dear Thyatira, you have shown your deeds, your faith, your love have grown. But this about you I despise: you bear that prostitute who […] - [The Value of the Old Testament, Part 1](https://marrowministries.org/the-value-of-the-old-testament-part-1): To speak of the value of the Old Testament Scriptures is to speak of that which exceeds all riches. They are to God’s people as the excellent wife to Solomon: “far more precious than jewels” (Proverbs 31:10). Not surprisingly, the Old Testament is attacked in our culture. Objections against the faith are brought forward on the grounds of the injustice of the God of Israel. If that were not enough, there are even attacks upon the relevance of the Old Testament from within the church. Even as the antichrist takes his seat in the temple of God, so this dangerous […] - [Teach Your Children to Teach Their Children to Teach Their Children Well](https://marrowministries.org/teach-your-children-to-teach-their-children-to-teach-their-children-well): Teach the Children Graham Nash famously penned the lyric, “Teach your children well.”[1] In those troubled days of the 1960s, a generation after the horrors of WWII and a Great Depression that left their fathers shackled in silence, unable to speak about what they had survived, it made sense to sing about two very different generations desperately needing to talk and learn to listen to one another. But something deeper had gone wrong. Deep down, most parents want to teach their children what they know, what they believe is right and wrong, how to live in this crazy world, and […] - [How Long, O Lord?](https://marrowministries.org/how-long-o-lord): Why Are We Not Perfectly Sanctified at Conversion? Why are believers in this world left to struggle with indwelling and remaining sin? Certainly, God has the power to make us perfect and sinless from the moment of our conversion. The Holy Spirit could so work within us that we are totally liberated from the remains of sin the moment we are born again. He’s going to do that when we are glorified at the end, so why not now? If God has the power to make us perfectly holy the moment we are regenerated, why doesn’t He do it? Why […] - [Church History, Episode 2, The Marrow Show](https://marrowministries.org/church-history-episode-2-the-marrow-show) - [Church History Spotlight | Athanasius](https://marrowministries.org/church-history-spotlight-athanasius): May 2023 marks one thousand six hundred ninety-eight years since the 1st Council of Nicaea met. When I was growing up, Nicaea was blamed for the birth of every religious conspiracy theory. “Oh, you don’t know about the letter J? They made that up at Nicaea.” “Jesus was invented at Nicaea.” “Worshipping on Sunday instead of Saturday happened at Nicaea.” And yet, none of these issues were topics of discussion at the council. There were, however, several other issues that were discussed, like church discipline, fasting days, and the official day for the celebration of Easter. And yet, none of […] - [Sin Unmasked](https://marrowministries.org/sin-unmasked): Have you read Lamentations lately? Ever? It’s a small book with dark content, and it is tucked away between Jeremiah and Ezekiel. So, it’s not likely regular reading for the average Christian. But it should be. There are many reasons why we should read the book of Lamentations (regularly). One reason is that it helps us to speak candidly about sin and suffering. Lamentations was probably penned by the prophet Jeremiah after the Babylonian invasion of Jerusalem in 586 B.C. and expresses the hurt of the immense suffering God’s people experienced and the hope of salvation that He held out […] - [How to Win a Theological Controversy: Lessons From the Pharisees](https://marrowministries.org/how-to-win-a-theological-controversy-lessons-from-the-pharisees): Tired of losing debates? Would you like a surefire way to win arguments? Consider learning from some of the best. The Pharisees had plenty of experience in theological controversy. Most notable was their interaction with the theological heresy of Christianity. Through the employment of several forms of fallacious arguments, they managed to discredit Jesus and his followers and effectively “win” the debate. One prime example of their methodology is found in chapter seven of John’s Gospel. A careful examination of this passage uncovers some valuable lessons that modern controversialists can utilize for silencing the opposition.[1] When the Temple guards returned […] - [Break Every Chain](https://marrowministries.org/break-every-chain): The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien is a compilation of short stories from the deep past of his sub-creation, Middle-Earth. My personal favorite selection from this volume—the tale of Fingon and Maedhros (MAY-thross)—is found in chapter 13, “Of the Return of the Noldor.” The elves of old battled Morgoth over the long centuries of the First Age of Middle-Earth. As they laid siege upon Angband, his ancient fortress, their king Fëanor was killed. What is more, his firstborn son Maedhros was taken captive by a host of Balrogs, to be kept alive and tortured by Morgoth who, writes Tolkien, “took Maedhros […] - [A Remedy for a Poor Reading of God's Providence](https://marrowministries.org/a-remedy-for-a-poor-reading-of-gods-providence): Providence Explained God’s providence can bring sweet comfort and consolation to Christ’s church, yet, we are often poor readers of it. When we read God’s providence poorly, we turn this sweet doctrine of comfort into a place where our pride and unbelief are exposed, or it demonstrates a faulty perspective. Before I further elucidate the problem, there must be a clear grasp of what God’s providence is. The doctrine of providence is beautifully summarized in chapter five of the 1689 London Baptist Confession and packaged in bitesize theology in question fourteen of the Baptist Catechism which reads, “What are God’s works […] - [Church History, Episode 1, The Marrow Show](https://marrowministries.org/church-history-episode-1-the-marrow-show) - [Maps, Rules, and Directions](https://marrowministries.org/maps-rules-and-directions): Humans were made for a destination, a goal, and an end. We were created by God to naturally tend back to glorifying and enjoying Him. It is the man of vanity that misses this end, serving himself instead of his Creator. Furthermore, God has offered man restoration to his true and proper end in the glorious mystery of Christ and Him crucified. However, looks can be deceiving. A Destination requires Directions Man has an end, but he must pursue it rationally. You are to pursue it “with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength” (Deuteronomy […] - [Christ Our Cover-Over](https://marrowministries.org/christ-our-cover-over): Jesus Shields Us from God’s Wrath A careful reading of Luke 22:14-20 reveals that the Lord’s Supper is closely associated with an Old Testament Jewish feast called “Passover.” This fact underscores an important truth: Christianity is not at odds with the religion of the Old Testament. Rather, it’s the fulfillment of Old Testament religion. That is why Jesus appends the Lord’s Supper to the Passover. Not surprisingly, the apostle Paul actually refers to Jesus as “our Passover lamb” (1 Corinthians 5:7). The implication is that if we want to understand and appreciate what Jesus did for us on the cross […] - [Family Business, Episode 2, The Marrow Show](https://marrowministries.org/family-business-episode-2-the-marrow-show) - [Putting the Revelation in Natural Revelation](https://marrowministries.org/putting-the-revelation-in-natural-revelation): It is a saying that God has written two books, the book of nature and the book of Scripture. These are otherwise known as general and special revelation or natural and supernatural revelation. Only through the divinely-inspired writings of special revelation (the Bible) may we come to know God in a saving way. Only the Bible reveals that God is Father, Son, and Spirit. Only the Bible reveals that the triune God is the Savior of the world through the life, death, and resurrection of His Son Jesus Christ, who is God the Son partaking of our nature and paying the […] - [Dieting Truth and Exercising Love](https://marrowministries.org/dieting-truth-and-exercising-love): Food is one of the greatest gifts from God. I love food. I love to smell it, I love when it’s put together in a way that is visually beautiful, and I love to cook it and prepare it and try new things with it. Think of all the colors and textures and tastes, and the wonderful creativity that God has inspired in the hearts of mankind to come up with new and different ways to use everything so that we can have an ever-changing variety of edible options. One of the difficulties with food is that not everything that […] - [All Fun and No Funerals](https://marrowministries.org/all-fun-and-no-funerals): Death is an occasion, and funeral homes are a place marked by much sadness and grief. And yet, according to Holy Scripture, there is something potentially beneficial about such an occasion and such a place. As the writer of Ecclesiastes writes, “It is better to go to a house of mourning than to a house of feasting” (7:2 NIV). To paraphrase, it is “Better to spend your time at funerals than at parties” (NLT). Why would the Bible make such an assertion? What is this passage teaching us? What the Text Isn’t Saying To begin with, let’s consider what this […] - [Law: What is it Good For?](https://marrowministries.org/law-what-is-it-good-for): In the 1998 motion picture Rush Hour, the Chinese and American police officers Lee (Jackie Chan) and Carter (Chris Tucker) engage in endless cross-cultural banter. It’s hilarious. One of the most memorable scenes is Lee’s butchering of the 1970 soul song War, in which Motown artist Edwin Starr asks: War, huh, yeah What is it good for? Absolutely nothing! Unfortunately, sometimes we seem to hear a similar cry from evangelical Christians with regard to God’s law as set forth in the Ten Commandments: Law, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing![1] At least not anymore. To be sure, it used […] - [To Glorify and Enjoy God Forever](https://marrowministries.org/glorify-and-enjoy-god): Humans cannot help but intuitively feel that they were made for something. It is such a powerful intuition and instinct that all the arguments of atheists have fallen before this impregnable fortress. Christians know this truth all too well, not merely having the natural impulse to affirm it, but seeing that the Scriptures constantly and loudly affirm it. The Westminster Shorter Catechism asks, “What is the chief end of man” The answer is that “Man’s chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy him forever.” A more noble and pithy statement has rarely been found. Of course, this wasn’t […] - [Hey, Jude](https://marrowministries.org/hey-jude): Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James… The way Jude chooses to introduce himself should be of great interest to any student of Scripture. Jude explains in the first verse of his epistle that he is “a servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James.” Jude’s choice to establish himself to the reader in this way serves two purposes. First, to avoid distraction and controversy. Transliteration has English readers referring to him as Jude, and the name Jude is not weighty or controversial in our context. If anything, you may get a Beatles song stuck in your […] - [Family Business, Episode 1, The Marrow Show](https://marrowministries.org/family-business-episode-1-the-marrow-show) - [The United Church in a Divided World](https://marrowministries.org/the-united-church-in-a-divided-world): If a Christian spends all his time reading and listening to the mainstream media, he will undoubtedly come to the conclusion that the world is radically divided. Conflict drives ratings and increases clicks online, but human conflicts and divisions have been with us from the beginning. The Bible is filled with stories of division among neighbors and nations. In the first century, the Gentiles were called dogs by the Jews, and the Jews were deeply hated by the Gentiles. Socially, the divisions between slaves and freemen were harsh and contentious at every turn. Women were generally treated as second-class citizens […] - [Space for Grace](https://marrowministries.org/space-for-grace): Upon first glance, it is obvious to every logical creature not only that God exists, but that He rules over existence. The skies and seas, animals and ants, peoples and plants all declare the glorious reign of their Maker. Take a gander out of doors; let your eyes wander to and fro. God architected this realm and fashioned its multitudinous subjects. “God made me,” they say, “and He takes care of me.” He gives them their form and function, their food in season, and rules them according to his righteous laws. It is so obvious that God sits on the […] - [Confessionalism in the Local Church](https://marrowministries.org/confessionalism-in-the-local-church): “It is often said that the day of Confessions is past, and that the Christian world as a whole has become, or is fast becoming, anti-Confessional.”[1] Written in the early 1900s, this quote captures the anti-creedal mood that was carried into at least the mid-20th century; however, in recent decades, there has been a resurgence in interest in Reformed Theology and the confessions produced during and after the Protestant Reformation.[2] Recently it has led to various discussions, debates, and even divisions, not over whether or not there are benefits to ancient confessions of faith, but rather the level to which […] - [Practical Legalism](https://marrowministries.org/practical-legalism): Legalism is an attempt to win God’s favor apart from the finished and sufficient work of Christ on behalf of sinners. This is a doctrinal legalism that undermines the gospel. There also exists a practical legalism that is often ignored or misunderstood—a legal root that is at the heart of every one of our sins (1 Corinthians 15:56). Legalism exists in every heart, and most of the time it’s a subtle way of talking about God and how He relates to His people. Doctrinal legalism distorts the gospel, and practical legalism stands in the way of our communion with God […] - [Paragon, Pariah, Persuaded](https://marrowministries.org/paragon-pariah-persuaded): Frame of reference is a key concept: the apprehension and appreciation of which is of practical help both in the science classroom and in daily life. When I ask my Earth Science students why the geocentric view of our planetary system endured for so long, with some prodding they usually admit that—from our vantage point on Earth—it certainly appears that we are stationary observers and that everything in space seems to be moving around us. But appearances can be deceiving, as Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo eventually demonstrated with ever-increasing clarity. Copernicus’ breakthrough was rightly deemed revolutionary, but even more revolutionary […] - [Confessions of a Recovering Legalist](https://marrowministries.org/confessions-of-a-recovering-legalist): Religious “Legalism” with a capital “L” is heresy. It’s the belief that one’s personal virtue and obedience to religious norms or standards merit God’s favor and/or salvation. This “do-it-yourself” religion is antithetical to the gospel of Christ and the Bible’s grace-based religion. “For by grace you have been saved through faith,” writes the apostle Paul. He goes on to remark, “This is not your own doing; it is the gift of God” (Ephesians 2:8). When asked what deeds God requires of men as a condition for eternal life, Jesus surprised his audience with the reply, “This is the work of […] - [Beneath the Sun](https://marrowministries.org/beneath-the-sun): A hymn based on Ecclesiastes Sung to the tune of Wayfaring Stranger Verse 1 Beneath the sun my soul is sighing: how brief a vapor is my life! My gain is gone, my days are dying. I chase the wind and stir up strife. Why is my life, O God, not fruitful? Will nothing last that I have done? Life is unfair, for all is futile. There’s nothing new beneath the sun. Verse 2 I told myself, “Perhaps some pleasure will fill the void within my soul. Perhaps hard work or gaining treasure will make me wise and not a fool.” […] - [The Law and The Gospel, Episode 3, The Marrow Show](https://marrowministries.org/the-law-and-the-gospel-episode-3-the-marrow-show) - [Only the Loved Love](https://marrowministries.org/only-the-loved-love): What came first, the chicken or the egg? We’ve been considering this classic conundrum since the Greek philosopher Plutarch first posed the question.[1] Plutarch responds that they are both first, which is almost as convenient of an answer as Aristotle’s, which is that neither the chicken nor the egg came first because there have always been chickens and eggs (and everything else, including convenient answers to hard questions). The consensus of modern science is that the egg came first. This means that at some point along the line of evolution—yea, at the very threshold of chickenness—an almost-chicken laid an egg […] - [Twofold Knowledge](https://marrowministries.org/twofold-knowledge): A Theological Distinction to Engage God’s World Theologians of old often give us categories and distinctions that equip us to apply Scriptural truths in a more consistent and balanced manner. Calvin’s twofold knowledge of God as Creator and as Redeemer forms the structure of his doctrine of the knowledge of God.[1] In this twofold knowledge, he distinguishes between unregenerate and regenerate man’s knowledge of God.[2] Unregenerate men only know God as Creator partially through corrupted eyes via nature. Regenerate men know God as both Creator and Redeemer, but their knowledge of God as Creator is fuller and clearer because their […] - [Dying to the Law](https://marrowministries.org/dying-to-the-law): In John Bunyan’s classic tale, The Pilgrim’s Progress the main character is a man named Christian and he meets many people along his journey. One of the men he meets is a man named Faithful. Faithful recounts to Christian something that happened to him when he found himself at the foot of Hill Difficulty. As faithful stood staring up Hill Difficulty and deciding whether or not he would begin the ascent, or if he would take the easy way around, he met an old man from the Town of Deceit named Adam the First. This man promised to give Faithful […] - [Beginner's Luck](https://marrowministries.org/beginners-luck): We’ve all seen someone who has never done something before do it very well the first time they try. It’s called beginner’s luck, which can be defined as “unexpected success experienced by a person who is just starting a particular activity.” But inevitably, after their sweeping success, the lucky beginner goes on to stink it up when they realize just how difficult whatever activity they happen to be doing actually is. There is something like beginner’s luck in the Christian life. When we first believed, our faith was full. It hit the ground running, both barrels blazing, and couldn’t seem to […] - [The Imposter Psalms](https://marrowministries.org/the-imposter-psalms): How to Read the Bible Without Feeling Like a Fraud The Psalms have been described as the songbook of God’s people – so why do we so often feel like we can only sing them with our fingers crossed? The “blessed man” of Psalm 1 is constantly captivated by the law of the Lord; my own heart is fickle and my mind easily wanders. In Psalm 9:1 David’s “whole heart” gives thanks; my own gratitude is often only partial and always fades with time. Psalm 26:1 cries out for the Lord to “vindicate me … for I  have walked in […] - [The Passion of Perpetua](https://marrowministries.org/the-passion-of-perpetua) - [The Law and The Gospel, Episode 2, The Marrow Show](https://marrowministries.org/the-law-and-the-gospel-episode-2-the-marrow-show) - [A Threefold Division](https://marrowministries.org/a-threefold-division) - [The Law and The Gospel, Episode 1, The Marrow Show](https://marrowministries.org/the-law-and-the-gospel-episode-1-the-marrow-show) - [Polish Presbyterian Turned Atheist, Episode 01, Keep it Civil](https://marrowministries.org/keep-it-civil-episode-1) - [What is Marrow Ministries?, The Marrow Show](https://marrowministries.org/what-is-marrow-ministries-the-marrow-show) - [Get to Know Us, The Marrow Show](https://marrowministries.org/get-to-know-us-the-marrow-show) - [The Marrow Show by Marrow Ministries](https://marrowministries.org/the-marrow-show-by-marrow-ministries) ## Pages - [Videos](https://marrowministries.org/videos) - [Donor Dashboard](https://marrowministries.org/donor-dashboard): [give_donor_dashboard] - [Donation Failed](https://marrowministries.org/donation-failed): We’re sorry, your donation failed to process.
