1 Kgs 3:3 “Solomon showed his love for the Lord by walking according to the instructions given him by his father David, EXCEPT that he offered sacrifices and burned incense on the high places.”

What’s your “except”? Solomon’s life suggests such exceptions don’t turn out well.

@SportsCenter @JeffDarlington that’s a 10-yard drive he probably wishes he had a mulligan for.

@PaulWorcester I’m an OT scholar. I’m pretty sure it was at Bethel 😉

@JayRichardson99 @DJ_FootballMom One of the best! Please give her our greetings!

@stevecusswords @geoffholsclaw A good resource might be Marva Dawn’s “A Royal Waste of Time.” It will be different from the question you’re asking but might offer some unique insights from the worship side that might help you in your question. Regardless, she’s an incredible writer and this one is helpful

@ARStager Dr. Andy?
Split the difference?! 😂

@djstrickland @lukeappleton …the ancient world had no problem with female deities, which can confuse our preconceived notions of what we think of a patriarchal society. It seems intentional.

[Scott Engebretson @saengebretson]

@djstrickland @lukeappleton Danielle, this is a bit of a dodge. Of course all these are true biblically. But it is also true the Spirit is referred to in the NT in the masculine (not just neuter).

it’s worth asking why exclusively masculine language for God in a society that had plenty of female deities.

@JayRichardson99 What is: “Hannah tells me I’m not funny all the time too. But I know funny…”

[Scott Engebretson @saengebretson]

@ANNELAMOTT No worries. Shake it off.

[Scott Engebretson @saengebretson]

@mporeilly @RyanNDanker Ummm. You might say that

Hope you all had a great thanksgiving

@mbird12 Please please please do a travel log in some sort of official, old school Texas garb. That would bring people joy

[Scott Engebretson @saengebretson]

@JayRichardson99 Why chase points in both spots….

[Scott Engebretson @saengebretson]

@lurioosi This greatly amuses me. Notice that your reply has literally no bearing in reality other than your assumptions. I’m a pastor. 😂

I was pointing out specific things Eric didn’t mention that actually - at the very least - nuances the point he’s trying to make.

To have biblical standards and conviction is not legalism.

To have personal standards that go beyond biblical standards is not legalism.

To have personal standards that go beyond biblical standards that you mandate others keep is.
