  • Easter 6 2017 Acts 8: 5-17 There Is So Much Lovable Material in the Acts of Apostles, Fifth Book in the New Testament. We Hear
    Easter 6 2017 Acts 8: 5-17 There is so much lovable material in the Acts of Apostles, fifth book in the New Testament. We hear it every Sunday in the Easter season as first reading. We mostly ignore it. Church officials have cut out the colorful material, thinking it trivial, an error I will now remedy. We shouldn’t be surprised at the book’s lovability. It was written by Luke the gentle physician, author of the third gospel. He was a real literary writer, adept in the creation of character. He is therefore like the Russian writer Chekhov who could be funny and poignant in the same story or play, and was also a medical doctor. When you examine someone dressed in a skimpy hospital gown for medical purposes, I suspect it is both touching and absurd. I often extol Luke’s unique contributions to the Jesus story (contrasting with dull, didactic approaches): he gives us the good Samaritan, prodigal son, penitent thief--brilliant characters—and, best of all, the Christmas story from Mary’s viewpoint, with the angels and shepherds. A sequel is always inferior to the original book (think of the attempt for Gone with the Wind). Acts is a sequel, yet has many delightful episodes. For example, the Christians are being persecuted and Peter is imprisoned. “Peter in chains” is Fr Peter’s preferred patron-saint story, grimly shackled as he is to school duties. An angel (what Chekhov makes a walk-on role, Luke makes an angel) comes through the prison walls at the silence of midnight, with a key (why would an angel need one?), releasing Peter from his cell, and leading him through the empty streets.

  • Dorcas/Tabitha
    / Dorcas Tabitha Dorcas (Tabitha) is the only woman in the bible referred to as a disciple. The way the first verse is written implies there may have been other female disciples in Joppa too, who are not mentioned by name. Her name Tabitha means Gazelle – indicating perhaps that she is a woman of grace, energy, beauty, and quick movements. Like Paul, she has both Greek & Jewish names – Greek = Dorcas, Jewish = Tabitha. The name Tabitha was also popular among slaves – like Lydia there is the possibility that she was a freewoman. She is raised from the dead after Peter prays for her. There are some similarities with other stories where people are risen from the dead: • Elijah raising Zarephath’s son’s widow (1 Kings 17:17-24) • Elisha’s raising of Shunammite woman’s son (2 Kings 4:18-37) • Jesus raising Nain’s son (Luke 7:11-17) • Jairus’s daughter Talitha (Luke 8:41-42 & 49-56, Mark 5:35-43) – similar name! Coincidence? • Lazarus (John 11:1-44, Eutychus (Acts 20:9-12). Tabitha is much loved and respected. Uses her sewing skills and financial resources for good. She is clearly generous and kind, has made clothes for widows and they all mourn her when she dies. Her story converts many people into believing. Care of widows was a long- held way of demonstrating God’s righteousness and justice. Tabitha’s status may imply she was leading the church in Joppa. The widows in the story are not passive but engaged. They are neither silent nor insignificant, but rather of key importance.

  • THE CESSATION of HEALING MIRACLES in PAUL's MINISTRY Τ Gary W
    BIBUOTHECA SACRA 155 (July-September 1998): 299-315 THE CESSATION OF HEALING MIRACLES IN PAUL'S MINISTRY τ Gary W. Derickson .^L. his article addresses the issue of the cessation of the exer­ cise of the gift of healing by the apostle Paul on the basis of the historical-theological evidence of the New Testament record. Three lines of evidence suggest that Paul was unable to perform healing miracles near the end of his ministry. The first line of evidence comes from a study of Pauline literature. The second line of evidence is from an evaluation of the record of the three men Paul failed to heal, their circumstances, and arguments that Paul would have healed them if he could. A third line of evidence stems from Hebrews 2:3-4. These three areas of evidence indi­ cate that miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit were no longer being distributed to the body of Christ by the end of the first century, but that the church was being given gifted individuals (Eph. 2:20; 4:11). Nonmiraculous spiritual gifts, of course, continued to be given to believers by the Holy Spirit. Further, even those who had previously had the ability to perform miracles were no longer able to exercise that gift as they had previously done. God's inter­ ventions through individuals gradually ceased in the waning years of the first century. MIRACLES AND MIRACLE WORKERS The range of opinion on the issue of miracle workers is spread between those who believe God continues to work miracles today in the same manner and number as in the first century1 and Gary W.

  • What Is Biblical Prophecy?
    What is Biblical Prophecy? What Biblical Prophecy is NOT, and What It Really IS: Contrary to what many fundamentalist preachers or late-night radio hosts would have you believe, biblical prophecy is not primarily about “predicting the future” or finding clues in the Bible that correspond to people or events in our own day and age! The prophets of Ancient Israel did not look into some kind of crystal ball and see events happening thousands of years after their own lifetimes. The books they wrote do not contain hidden coded messages for people living in the 20th or 21st centuries! Rather, biblical prophets were mainly speaking to and writing for the people of their own time. They were challenging people of their own world, especially their political rulers, to remain faithful to God’s commandments and/or to repent and turn back to God if they had strayed. They were conveying messages from God, who had called or commissioned them, rather than speaking on their own initiative or authority. However, because the biblical prophets were transmitting messages on behalf of God (as Jews and Christians believe), much of what they wrote for their own time is clearly also relevant for people living in the modern world. The overall message of faith and repentance is timeless and applicable in all ages and cultures. To understand what biblical prophecy really is, let’s look more closely at the origins, definitions, and uses of some key biblical words. In the Hebrew Bible, the word for “prophet” is usually nabi’ (lit. “spokesperson”; used over 300 times!), while the related feminine noun nebi’ah (“prophetess”) occurs only rarely.

  • Women's Ministries Devotionals
    WOMEN’S MINISTRIES DEVOTIONALS A Follower of Jesus Vonda Rodeheaver Scripture: Acts 9: 1-2, 36 Tabitha was from Joppa, a Jewish Mediterranean coastal town with Greek cultural influence. Her Hebrew name was Tabitha, but she was known by her Greek-speaking friends as Dorcas. (Often Jews living in areas of strong Greek cultural influence spoke not only Aramaic but also Greek.) Tabitha was a devout Hebrew believer living in a Hellenized town. She was zealous for God. She was well known and was referred to as a “disciple” of Jesus. She would have been considered as a member of “the Way”, people who believed that Jesus had been resurrected from the dead and that therefore Jesus was the Messiah, the Son of God. Tabitha, or Dorcas as her friends called her, always went about doing good and helping the poor. Saul, another devout Hebrew, was born in Tarsus of Cilicia, a town under the influence of Roman rule and culture. Young Saul was brought to Jerusalem where he was trained to follow the Old Testament Law and the religious customs of his ancestors. He excelled under the teaching of a leading rabbi named Gamaliel and he was quite zealous for God. At one level Tabitha and Saul hold much in common. They both had been raised to be devout Jews even though born into contexts of strong gentile influence. Yet there is a key difference between Saul and Tabitha at this point in the story. Saul was zealous to keep the Jewish laws but refused to believe that Jesus was the Messiah, the Son of God.
