1st John Bible Nerd-Study - Week 32

Week 32 —1st John Bible Nerd-Study

*Missed last week? Click here for 1st John Bible Nerd-Study - Week 31

Normal translation + Paraphrase 2:29-3:17 + Scroggie's Unfolding Drama of Redemption 


The Unfolding Drama of Redemption is one of my go-to favorites of all time with Bible basics when studying. I ended up reading it 2x as part of a two-year study plan created by Christian Chen (which was awesome), and since that time I've referred back to different sections often. I love his style of organizing and charts. The concept of revealing throughout Scripture a larger plan that's all connected is wonderful. Scroggie was trained by Spurgeon and has that similar openness to all Christians that is so helpful for a bible student. Attached is a small portion on 1 John. It starts out with some general comparison with the Gospel of John. That type of parallel study has come up already here and it'd be great if someone pasted out all of the verses next to each other for an easier glance. 

Let's use our normal translation this time, it's been a little while. 

And it's time to paraphrase! This is so useful for bringing us to an assignment that shows we either understand something or not. If you're stuck on some verses or section please bring it up and others can share their paraphrases in that area.

Crave the word

  So glad for this verse today:    as newborn babes  desire earnestly  [crave] the pure mental milk of the word, that by it ye may grow up to salvation  - 1 Peter 2:2 Try reading 10 chapters by the  choice  of craving and then read some more by the reactive desire of it.  How often are my 5 or 10 second moments spent checking some other happiness than Christ? In 5 seconds I can check notifications or I can chew on my manna for the day. In 10 seconds I can check for new emails or rehearse that verse I've been trying to memorize. I can spend just 5 minutes listening to the news or I can spend it finishing a daily Bible reading portion.  Mother's milk is the best thing for the newborn baby. The milk of the word is the best source of joy all through the day. "crave ... the word ... if indeed ye have tasted that the Lord is good."

The mystery of Israel: a conversation about prophecies and modern events

 This is not a message, it is more of a discussion that I’ve been having with several people by phone call or email or chat or in person. This only includes some notes on it but I wanted to share a more comprehensive view all at once.

God Has Spoken Series

Question: Where can I get the audio messages of Stephen Kaung's God Has Spoken series? If I could recommend only one book or series by Stephen Kaung it would be his God Has Spoken series. He shared a message for each book of the Bible, giving a simple overview and revealing the way to find Christ as you read. It is not only his classic set but it's His way with the Scriptures. Our brother could always find Christ and find Him as He's meant to be found. For a new believer and an old believer, this is the first set to have as guide through the Bible and a reference set to go back to later on.  Below are links to each of the original messages.   Old Testament  Introduction to the Old Testament Genesis -The Will of God Exodus -The Works of God Leviticus - The Ways of God Numbers -The Walk of God Deuteronomy - The Word of God Joshua - Possessing the Land   Judges - Possessing all the Possessions Ruth - Recovery of the Inheritance I Samuel - Epoch-...
