Lead:

Just the Bible today. Mostly.

Intro:

Have you ever had one of those days where you’re feeling quiet and contemplative, but you’re not depressed? Today’s one of those for me. I had to have a hard conversation with a ministry partner. And I think there’s a teachable moment in it for us, together. We’ll touch on it in today’s All Our Minds segment.

Today we head into — and out of — Paul’s second letter to the Thessalonians. It’s not long after his first church letter, and you’ll hear more of the same themes. That said, let’s just read.

Not used today, but stuff I like:

 D. A. Carson, For the Love of God: A Daily Companion for Discovering the Riches of God’s Word., vol. 1 (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Books, 1998).

Craig S. Keener, The IVP Bible Background Commentary: New Testament (Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 1993). <—this, and it’s OT companion, are great commentaries if you like something more than a study Bible and less than a set of 66 books — they add a lot of interesting details. Keener’s a killer apologist, too.

The Story of Reality, Greg Koukl — Love this book. A killer intro to the Christian worldview that is philosophically and theologically sound while being accessible to all readers.
