Defining and Defending Typology
In Romans 5:14 Paul states that the first man, Adam, “was a type of the one who was to come,” referring to Jesus. A type is “a person, institution, office, action, or event, by means of which some truth of the Gospel was divinely foreshadowed under the Old Testament dispensations.”1 In order to explain how exactly Adam

There is a certain sobriety in interpretation when we limit ourselves only to those things which are explicitly identified as types by the biblical writers. There is safety here, too, because it is…

Echoes from Emmanuel, Sept-Oct 1979
Parson to Person by Pastor Eckman:

“Christ our Pilot, the Bible our Answer.” That has been the theme of our recently completed vacation Bible school.

Is Christ your pilot in the storms of life? The prophet Isaiah records “The wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace, saith my

My friend, if you’ve not yet anchored your life in Jesus Christ by inviting Him to become your Savior, you are described in the above verses. In times like these you need a Pilot (Savior) for your …

Who is Jesus? The Lamb of God
“The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, ‘Here is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!’” (John 1:29) John was in the wilderness on the other side of the Jordan River, immersing Jews who had heard him preach and were interested in turning from their sins and preparing for the Lord’s coming. While he was doing

Jesus could offer himself for sins and completely and permanently cleanse sinners. In this way, his sacrifice is infinitely superior to any mere creature. He is the Lamb of God who takes away the s…

Echoes from Emmanuel, August 1979
Parson to Person by Pastor Eckman, August 1979:

We have recently had one wedding here at Emmanuel and are anxiously looking forward to another. What a joy it is to see two Christian young people joined together to serve Christ more effectively than they could serve Him individually. In counseling these youth, I make it clear that divorce is never a

The same God Who ordained marriage in Genesis 2:24 & 25 has the directions for a happy marriage plainly spelled out in His word. He has the solution to your specific problem.

Sensible Literalism
“Hermeneutics is the science and art of Biblical interpretation.” So Bernard Ramm begins his helpful book on Bible interpretation. “It is a science,” he says, “because it is guided by rules within a system; and it is an art because the application of the rules is by skill, and not by mechanical imitation.”1 We need a system of

As a general approach to interpreting the Bible, the allegorical method destroys any hope of finding objective meaning. One person sees the text pointing to a set of symbols, while another sees an …

Who is Jesus? The Light of Men
What is Light?

Did you know that one of the most mysterious things in all the world is light? Something virtually every one of us experiences on a daily basis is one of the least understood elements of the physical world. Scientists have spent centuries trying to discover the fundamental nature of light only to be stymied time after

Christ is light in that he is the One who brings reality into focus. It is his nature to reveal the truth about our humanity and God’s divinity. He reveals our true nature and condition as fallen, …

About that Bloody Husband, Part 2
“So Abraham took his son Ishmael and those born in his household or purchased – every male among the members of Abraham’s household – and he circumcised the flesh of their fo****in on that very day, just as God had said to him” (Gen. 17:23). Circumcision is a male-only rite,1 initially performed by

Being born into the family of Israel was not enough; he needed to be circumcised in order to participate in the covenant blessings of Abraham.

About that Bloody Husband, Part 1
Several years ago I wrote a brief article on the interpretation and application of a strange account of circumcision found in Exodus 4:24-26. This passage falls between Moses’ departure from the land of Midian and his return to Egypt. He had fled Egypt forty years prior after killing an Egyptian (murder

There are some good arguments in favor of it being Moses. For one thing, he is the one male who seems to be of accountable age, so it would make sense that the Lord would execute judgment on him ra…

Pietism and
Do you ever read the Bible and wonder if there’s anything in it for you? Theologians carry on debates over the relationship of divine sovereignty to man’s free will, exegetes argue about whether ??? should be translated “and” or “even” in Galatians 6:16, and everyone seems to argue about whether women can be called to the office of

As long as we maintain a commitment to the literal method of Bible interpretation, exegesis, and sound doctrine, we may receive much benefit by reading God’s word devotionally.

Who is Jesus? He is Not Just a Man
Who Jesus is Not...?

Jesus is the eternal Word of God, who is with God and is God (John 1:1). Jesus is the Creator of all things (v.3). Jesus is the Life-giver and the Light of men (v.4-5). Who, at this point, could be confused about Jesus’ identity? Yet John continues to explain who Jesus is, this time by telling us who Jesus is

What does it mean to be a witness? It means to speak about what you know and have seen, but it actually means a bit more than that, because being a witness is more than just bearing witness. A witn…
