Dr. Claude Mariottini - Professor of Old Testament: The Book of Remembrance

Dr Mariottini has posted a great overview and summary on why the Book of Malachi is so important. It's great. It's a shame that most of the time in churches Malachi only comes up at offering time:

⁸ "Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me.
      "But you ask, 'How do we rob you?'
      "In tithes and offerings. ⁹ You are under a curse—the whole nation of you—because you are robbing me. ¹⁰ Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it. ¹¹ I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not cast their fruit," says the LORD Almighty. ¹² "Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land," says the LORD Almighty.- Malachi 3:8-12

However Malachi is way more important and deeper than that. Mariottini does an awesome job explaining just how wonderfully God used Malachi to speak to his people for the past 2500 years and will continue!

Iron Sharpens Iron: Walt Chantry: Today's Gospel: Authentic or Synthetic?

I had a chance to listen to an interview  of Walt Chantry on Iron Sharpens Iron. He wrote a book back in the early 70's combating the controversies and watering down the Gospels. It's really interesting. The scary thing is that very little has improved. I see more of the issues he bought up in the book still around today!
