Dr. Claude Mariottini - Professor of Old Testament: The Titles of God in the Hebrew Bible

Dr. Mariottini on his blog explains  titles and names given to God in the Old Testament. These are great,  Some of them I've never considered before seeing his post with much thought. I'm used to names like Jehovah Jireh and a few other popular ones but it makes since that there would be many more.

YouTube - Ezekiel 18 and God's Pleasure in Repentance and Judgment

Here is a lecture from James White about how Ezekiel 18 strengthens arguments for God's absolute sovereignty. This is really a great example of how the text shows God's character. It's a really good statement and exegesis.

Armor up Two - Lessons from "Iron Man 2"

When I see this clip of the upcoming Iron Man 2, I can't help but think of the following scripture:

¹⁰Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. ¹¹Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. ¹²For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. ¹³Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. ¹⁴Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, ¹⁵and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. ¹⁶In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. ¹⁷Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. ¹⁸And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
 ¹⁹Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, ²⁰for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should. - Ephesians 6:10-20

Okay maybe there is no shield or sword but there are repulsors in the clip! Interesting enough Tony seems to put his armor on in the same order as given in the scripture.
