It’s hard to believe that July is already here.
The Ethnos360 Biblical Resource Group has been busy revising numerous “position papers.” We began with 22 original papers and developed 3 new papers.
- Staying on Track—Principles of Biblical Interpretation
- Progressive Dispensationalism
- Religious Pluralism
We just finished revising the last of those original 22 papers and have submitted them for approval. We are also planning on developing a new paper dealing with issues concerning salvation/justification.
Most of the position papers make reference to other articles and essays as recommended reading. I’ve been able to track down most of those resources and have included them on our members website for our missionaries to read. That was a major undertaking in itself. Those supplemental reading documents total 169 papers. Along with that, we have a section for book reviews as well as a section for inspirational articles. All told, we have 233 articles on our members website.
We have another bunch of articles written by one of our members that we would eventually like to add to our collection. We need to determine which ones are pertinent and read them for content. So, there is still more work to do. But we are definitely making progress.
Between the Biblical Resource Group projects, preaching at church, working on computer issues for our residents, and puttering around in my garden, I am keeping quite busy.
Before I retired someone warned me that it is easy to get busier in retirement than when working full-time. Now I can see why!
Blessings,
Bob

He Brought Me Here
by Andrew Murray
First He brought me here; it is by His will I am in this strait place; in that fact I will rest. Next, He will keep me here in His love, and give me grace to behave as His child. Then, He will make the trial a blessing, teaching me the grace He means to bestow. Last, in His good time He can bring me out again—how and when He knows. Let me say I am here: (1) by God’s appointment. (2) In His keeping. (3) Under His training. (4) For His time.
