James Usher (1581-1656)
James Ussher vs the Modern Critics - Dec. 19
The following is excerpted from Dr. Floyd Nolan Jones, The Chronology of the Old Testament, 1993:
Finally, [I am gratefully indebted to] James Ussher (1581-1656), learned Archbishop of Armagh--the highest position in the Irish Anglican Church--scholar and historian of the first rank. Entering Trinity College at 13, he prepared a detailed work on Hebrew chronology in Latin at 15 and received a master’s degree when 18. At 19 he engaged in controversy the Jesuit scholar Henry Fitzsimons. Overthrowing him, none could thereafter match him in debate. An expert in Semitic languages and history, at 20 he was ordained. At 26, he earned a doctorate and became Professor of Divinity at Dublin.

Immersion in the Scriptures - Dec. 18
The following is excerpted from Biblical Holiness for the 21st Century, which is a book and also one of the Way of Life Bible College courses, www.wayoflife.org.
After salvation, nothing is more important for a life of holiness than becoming a serious, lifelong Bible student.
This major passage on the divine nature and power of Scripture (2 Ti. 3:16-17) is at the heart of the major passage warning of end-time apostasy (2 Timothy 3-4). Scripture is the victory in the midst of apostasy.
Scripture is the quick and powerful Word of God (Heb. 4:12); it is pure truth (Joh. 17:17); it is light in a dark world (2 Pe. 1:19-21); it is “able to build you up” (Ac. 20:32).

Errors in Popular Commentaries - Dec. 12
We use commentaries on a daily basis, have done so for a half century, and have benefited greatly from this practice. At the same time, we understand there are problems with most popular commentaries.
Following are some of these:
There is the problem of the allegorical interpretation of prophecy.
Most of the most widely-used commentaries are written from an amillennial perspective. As a result, they interpret prophecy allegorically and therefore falsely. This is true of Matthew Henry, Jamieson-Fausset-Brown, John Wesley, John Calvin, Adam Clarke, Albert Barnes, Matthew Poole, and a great many others. Consider some examples of the allegorical interpretation of Revelation 20:1-10.

Every person on this planet, no matter where they live, is 99.6% genetically identical! Also, mitochondrial DNA with its accumulated mutations can be traced backward through the female lineage to a common female ancestor for all females today.

SUPREME COURT SIDES WITH FIRST AMENDMENT IN LANDMARK COLORADO CASE (Friday Church News Notes, December 6, 2024, www.wayoflife.org, fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - America’s Bill of Rights is the most robust protection of individual civil rights in the history of Gentile nations. It is the product of an experiment that began in England with the Magna Carta of the 13th century and concluded with the founding of the United States of America in the 18th. Though America’s Bill of Rights is under vicious assault and has been weakened over the past century and more by Congress and the Courts, it still offers protections far greater than those enjoyed by citizens of other nations.

Aggressive evangelism is a fundamental of the faith.
Most of the large aggressive churches of bygone days are dead or dying. For example, Highland Park Baptist Church of Chattanooga, Tennessee, no longer exists. The home of Tennessee Temple Bible College, Highland Park had a great emphasis on world missions. They campaigned on that. They had huge, enthusiastic missionary conferences in which hundreds of God’s people surrendered their lives to that glorious work and went across North America and to the ends of the earth to preach the gospel and plant churches.

Wheaton College was established in 1860 and was aligned with fundamentalism until the 1940s, when it was captured by the new evangelicalism.
The third president, James Oliver Buswell (1926-1940), was “a force that kept Wheaton from embracing the liberal theology popular at that time.” It was advertised as “a safe college for young people” where modernism was “conclusively disproven” and faculty taught only “conservative social and economic views.” He strengthened the school’s moral code and required each.. see full report

Hymns - Jewels From Samuel Medley- Nov. 27
Samuel Medley (1738-1799) was a Baptist pastor and author of 230 hymns.
Samuel Medley (1738-1799) was a Baptist pastor and author of 230 hymns.
In his wayward youth, he was seriously wounded in the British navy at the Battle of Lagos. The surgeon told him that amputation was the only thing that would save his life and that a decision would have to be made the next day. Though Medley was living a wicked life, he prayed earnestly for God’s mercy. “The next morning when the surgeon came to examine his sounds, he lifted up his hands in amazement and said, ‘This is little short of a miracle.’ He found the patient so much better that he could scarcely believe his eyes. God had heard Medley’s prayer” (Christopher Knapp, Who Wrote Our Hymns).
Medley was released from the navy and was converted soon thereafter, in 1759, by hearing a sermon by Isaac Watt on Isaiah 42:6-7. It was read to him by his grandfather.. see full report
