Nathan has YouTube Tuesday.
Introducing (drum roll please) "Bible Book in a Sentence Sundays".
I admit, it's not quite as snappy but hopefully just as descriptive. Each Sunday I will post a suggested one sentence summary of a book of the Bible. I will also post my favourite suggestion or mash-up of ideas from the previous weeks nominated book.
a. She linked to me which means it isn't really stealing,
b. I technically stole the idea from Tracey
c. I unknowingly used the same layout as Simone for my blog
d. She wrote the lyrics to Never Alone which is S's favourite song at the moment.
Yesterday's challenge was Exodus and here is my favourite mash up of ideas;
"Out of Egyptian slavery and into a nation."
Next week's challenge: Romans
"Until I hope to see you on my way to Spain, remember justification is through faith."
Can you do better?
Also I am on holidays for the next week starting tomorrow and so will be taking my first break from the blog. I hope to find lots of suggestions for a one sentence Romans summary to post Sunday week on my return to the blogosphere. I will then resume blogging six out of seven days.
"G'day Romans, this is what I'm about, there are some bold points...hey, why don't I just lay the whole thing out - see you soon."

thanks for the link Izaac-- found your blog the other day thru Nathan's. I like your work, mate and look forward to reading more. And kudos for the amount of posts youv'e been putting up- keep it up!
ReplyDeleteoh, and as for Romans--
ReplyDelete"I'm a law-breaking loser, but Jesus is awesome so it'll be alright"
Father Abraham has many sons, through Jesus Jew (pronounced phonetically) can be one too...
ReplyDeleteThat was funnier in my head.
ReplyDeleteHow about:
ReplyDelete"believing in the gospel of God’s grace through Jesus = belonging to God’s people for both Jew and Gentile." ?
A bit wordy perhaps.
Actually my favourite summary is John Stott's because it is picks up the six major sections of the book of Romans:
"the gospel, wrath, grace, plan, will, providence of God."
Easy to remember too: g-w-g p-w-p ... of God
Could be way off, but...
ReplyDeleteThe gospel is about reconciling the whole world, who all need God's righteousness which can come only by faith. So love each other, because Jew and gentile both are in the same rescued-by-faith boat, and send me on to make more brothers for you in Spain.
See that chiasm I did there? Maybe I'm actually Jewish...
ReplyDeleteWell I've finally returned to your suggestions. I will post my final suggestion on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteA few lurkers have been brought out. Great to hear from Ben, Mark, and Matt.
I like a little bit of all your suggestions
ReplyDeleteMatt - capturing the big laying out of God's plans
Ben - The gospel salvation
Nathan - The jew/Gentile explanation
Mark/Kutz - Great attempts at trying to summarise the entire content.
So how to fit it all together...
