Waking Up

After teaching on the promises of God to Abraham (and to us) in my little Bible Study, I received this e-mail from one of the attendees:

"Many thanks, yet again my brother! I've never heard a view taught other than disp premill. I'm excited about searching His word to compare these [views]."

It's rewarding being the guy who gets to wake others up to the richness of historic Christianity. The problem of course is that I have so little knowledge of it. I'm like the boy among a hungry multitude who brings a little bread and fish to His Lord. He takes my bit of bread, blesses it abundantly, and is somehow able to satisfy those around me with it.

  1. That's wonderful Tim! I hope your friend's study will be profitable. Maybe a book recommendation would be helpful for him?

  2. He has asked for one from a postmill perspective. Where do you think he should start?

  3. Postmillennialism: An Eschatology of Hope
    by Keith A. Mathison

    Keith is a friend & I know he needs diaper money. ;-)
    Kidding aside, I haven't read this but everyone I know who has says it's excellent. I've read several other of Keith's books so I feel confident in recommending this one.
