As you know by now, David Murray and I are taking a course together and we have invited everyone else to take it with us. Together we are going through R.C. Sproul’s course on the Old Testament’s Prophets, Poetry, and Wisdom Literature. Week-by-week we are recording a podcast to share our thoughts and answer some questions.

In this week’s podcast we look at Joel, Micah, and Habakkuk and then turn to Dr. Sproul’s introduction to Wisdom Literature. We also talk about the baby David and Shona are expecting any day now.

Do accept our apologies for missing last week’s podcast. And please accept my apologies for being AWOL for this week’s episode in which David flies solo. I arrived in Orlando with an awful case of food poisoning and spent the whole first day in the fetal position (or wishing I was in the fetal position). So David hit the record button on his own and did his best to answer some of the most urgent questions from those who are taking this course with us. Listen in and I’m sure you’ll benefit from it.

As you know by now, David Murray and I are taking a course together and we invited others to participate with us. Well over 1,200 people signed up and we are now working our way through R.C. Sproul’s course on the Old Testament prophets and wisdom literature. We are supplementing this course with our Connected Kingdom Podcast.

Last week, instead of looking to a specific book of the Old Testament, we looked to a period of history—the exile—and allowed Dr. Sproul to guide us through some of the highlights and some of the worst of that period. David and I then took some time to consider the book together and to answer some of the questions other students asked us. David also offers some helpful counsel on learning and understanding Old Testament history. We hope you find it helpful!

This week we answer some of the questions that have arisen about Elijah and Isaiah. David does most of the heavy-lifting since he is, after all, the professor of Old Testament. I chime in to offer some suggestions on how to gather resources that will guide you through the reading of any book of the Bible. Along the way I refer to an amazing testimony of the Lord’s grace in one man’s life. You can find it here: The Revival of a Rebel Jew.

If you would like to take this course with us, there is still a short time to join in. Simply click here and join the version of the course led by David and me. Have the first, second and third lesson completed by March 18 and you'll be right there with us. And in the meantime, give the podcast a quick listen.

David Murray and I are taking a course together and, as we’ve mentioned a couple of times now, we’ve invited you (yes you!) to take it with us. As we take the course, led by Dr. R.C. Sproul, we are recording weekly podcasts to discuss what we have been learning and to answer some of the questions that students ask of us.

There are almost 1,200 people taking the course with us and they come from all over the world. This map (though small) shows the international flavor!

This week’s lesson was on Elijah. In the podcast (which is only about 15 minutes long) David and I discuss some of what we learned and answer a few of the questions other students asked. We trust it will be helpful as supplemental material.

If you would like to take this course with us, there is still time to join in. Simply click here and join the version of the course led by David and me. Have the first and second lesson completed by March 11 and you'll be right there with us. And in the meantime, give the podcast a quick listen.

Last week David Murray and I announced that we will be taking a course together and that we would love for you (yes you!) to take it with us. As we take the course, led by Dr. R.C. Sproul, we will be recording weekly podcasts to discuss what we have been learning and to answer some of the questions that students ask of us.

This first podcast, which you can listen to right here, talks about why we are doing this course and introduces a few of the students. It also reminds you that the course officially begins today, which is to say you’ve got between now and next Monday to take the first lesson (which is on Elijah).

If you would like to take this course with us, there is still time to join in. Simply click here and join the version of the course led by David and me. Have that first lesson completed by March 4 and you’ll be right there with us. And in the meantime, give the podcast a quick listen.

Robert Shelby’s boys saved his life. On July 3 Shelby, a pastor in Baton Rouge, was teaching them how to swim when he dove a little too deep and slammed his head into the bottom of the pool, breaking his C-5 vertebra. Unable to move, unable to swim, he was helpless to save himself. For a few moments he hovered between life and death until his young sons realized that something was amiss. They dragged him from the pool, performed CPR and saved his life. 

Last week David Murray and I spoke to Robert about his accident and about life in the aftermath. He is now adjusting to life with quadriplegia (and do note as you listen to the interview that one of the effects of his condition is that it keeps his voice from being as expressive as it once was) and hoping to soon return to the pulpit.

Here is a link to the Shelby Family Fund.
