Job isn’t suffering for sin, but he needs to watch out that his suffering doesn’t lead him to sin! Here’s a novel idea from Elihu! “Man is also chastened with pain on his bed” (Job 33:19). The word “chastened” in the AV is also translated as reproved, rebuked, and corrected. Job is not being punished, either unjustly or justly, as he […]

“Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God” (1 Cor 2:12). Volvo, the Swedish car company, was dissatisfied with the inefficient lap belt and hired engineer Nils Bohlin to find a […]
