I’m honored to have Ernesto Duke on the show today to discuss how to read the Old Testament and understand its role in this grand story that points to Jesus. Ernesto is a prof of mine from Eternity Bible College.
We end the year, today, and as I reflect on this past one I can’t help but think about the ways my perspective has changed since starting Bible college several years ago.
The Bible doesn’t attempt to give every detail about life; but rather, it tells us a story. It tells us the story of God and the kingdom he has formed. It tells us the story of humanity and our deep brokenness and need for his redemption. Most importantly, it tells us the story of Jesus: the intersection of God and man. Hidden throughout all these stories of depravity are signs of the Messiah to come.
Act 3 in God’s divine play of life is Redemption Initiated. This Act deals with God choosing Israel and the covenant relationship he makes with them.
Author Asher Witmer knows what it’s like to want freedom from sexual sin only to continually fail. We’re often told we need more personal discipline, that we need to think godly things instead of fleshly things.
What if I told you that discipline won’t solve your problem with lust?
Our male sexuality is given by God for advancing beauty and goodness. But somewhere along the line it becomes something that causes devastation and guilt. The good news is we don’t have to live with guilt. In Live Free, Asher Witmer shows us how we can find freedom from sexual sin, live with nothing to hide, and be able to fight for others.
