The New Testament doesn’t contrast two worlds—physical and spiritual—but two ages: this present age and the age to come. When Paul speaks of “spirit” and “flesh,” he’s not speaking as a Platonist. He’s contrasting what humans can achieve in their own strength (the age of the flesh) with what the Spirit brings from the age to come. Every time we gather as the Lord’s people, the Holy Spirit breaks into this present evil age, delivering morsels of the world to come, like the dove bringing Noah a twig from the new creation.

What is the gospel? It's a surprisingly contested question.

I propose a way forward, through Christ’s threefold office—Prophet, Priest, and King.

🔹 Prophet: gospel as announcement
🔹 Priest: gospel as substitution
🔹 King: gospel as enthronement

What a good time discussing the Christian worldview with Justin. I think you'll enjoy it too!

Because I understand, I will not respond.

@stevechimo Also, take that away before he chops down something :)

[Mike Wittmer @MikeWittmer]

@stevechimo Cute! Save that devotional and say God meant it for him!

[Mike Wittmer @MikeWittmer]

@stevechimo Wow! I was referring to my friend Steve and his son August. Didn’t know there were two!

Student paper mentioned 'forgiveness under the yolk of Christ.' Sometimes forgiveness is scrambled. Sometimes it's over easy.

Archaeologists discovered a second century hymn in the ruins of Egypt. It sounds like something written by Chris Tomlin.

@gavinortlund @100percentZach This has worked for me. I now say I'm not taking away from what you believe but adding to it. Praise God we go to heaven when we die. And praise God more for Jesus' return, our resurrection, and restoration of the earth. Folks readily accept that.

[Mike Wittmer @MikeWittmer]

@gavinortlund @100percentZach My concern, and I've found this to be true for 30 years, is that most Xians think they go to outer space (heaven) when they die and stay there forever. Their loved ones are playing ball in heaven, etc. They've lost the return of Christ, resurrection, & restoration of all things

[Mike Wittmer @MikeWittmer]

@gavinortlund @100percentZach I'm happy to hear your thoughts on this! I appreciate you, brother!

[Mike Wittmer @MikeWittmer]

@gavinortlund @100percentZach I agree with N.T. Wright's take on Randy Alcorn's book, "Heaven." Right concept, wrong title. We're better off using 'heaven' for the intermediate state and 'new earth' for our final destination. That will correct the Platonism rampant in Christianity.
