Top ten articles and more!

By Elizabeth Prata

I can’t believe two decades have gone by since the infamous Y2K scare. I remember when 1999 turned to 2000. It was said that the world would end, since so many computers had used 2 digits instead of 4, like 99 instead of 1999, and that would crash all the world’s computers when it turned to year 2000. The computers would not know how to handle a prefix of 20 instead of 19. Or something. All I know is that we spent a mountain of money on toilet tissue, preparing to use it as barter money when the zombie hordes came looking for fresh meat. Or something.

Thirty Days of Jesus Repeat: Day 30, He sat down

By Elizabeth Prata

We are coming toward the end of our look at the life of Jesus through scripture. The first section of His life was seen through verses focused on prophecy, arrival, and early life.

The next section of verses looked at Him as the Son, second person of the Trinity. Continue reading “Thirty Days of Jesus Repeat: Day 30, He sat down”

Jesus’ life, death, resurrection in art

By Elizabeth Prata

The Christmas story and really, the entire Jesus story has held artists’ imaginations captive since the beginning,w hen mosaics of fish and other symbols began to appear in imperial Rome. I love art and I especially love the art rendering different scenes from the Bible. I have few regrets in life, but one regret is that of all the times I visited Europe and looked at the Great Art of the world, the religious art was completely lost on me, since I was not saved. In fact, I looked at them puzzled, briefly, then went my way to see other, what I thought were more interesting art pieces. I wish I could go back and see these now in person again, now that I know Him and His story of life, death, and resurrection. Continue reading “Jesus’ life, death, resurrection in art”

Thirty Days of Jesus Repeat: Day 29, Ascension

By Elizabeth Prata

We are coming toward the end of our look at the life of Jesus through scripture. The first section of His life was seen through verses focused on prophecy, arrival, and early life.

The next section of verses looked at Him as the Son, second person of the Trinity.

We proceeded into looking at Jesus as the Son’s preeminence, His works, and His ministry. Under ministry & works, I chose verses showing His attributes and aspects of being servant, teacher, shepherd, intercessor, and compassionate healer; and His attributes of omniscience, having all authority and power, and sinlessness.

Nativity & Advent: What about Joseph the Carpenter?

By Elizabeth Prata

I wrote a short bit about Joseph, foster-father of Jesus, and posted Gari Melchers’ painting of The Nativity.

Now, I will mention just this. In biblical times (now, too), the son took on the father’s profession. The tailor’s son became a tailor. The butcher’s son became a butcher. The blacksmith’s son became a blacksmith. The fisherman’s son became a fisherman. My own father, and his father before him, became a funeral director.

Slippery Slopes: A discerning look at Jen Wilkin, part 3

By Elizabeth Prata

Part 1: Introduction and Method
Part 2: Jen Wilkin’s teaching in the “Menstruation Video”
Part 3: Is Jen Wilkin a Complementarian?

In Part 1 I introduced this three-part series with some of the things I enjoy about Jen Wilkin, and also discussed how I go about reviewing a nationally known teacher’s doctrine, teaching, and lifestyle. In part 2 I took a look at Mrs Wilkin’s now-infamous menstruation eisegesis lesson, and this part 3 I look at whether she actually lives out her proclamation that she is a complementarian woman.
