About me:
Rob is a lifetime student of the Scriptures specializing primarily in Old Testament studies, but is still heavily engaged in New Testament conversations. The interpretive lenses that most influence his thought (and this blog) are canonical theology, biblical theology, literary criticism, form criticism, and redaction criticism.
When not studying you will find Rob rooting fanatically for Philadelphia sports teams, reading leisurely at Barnes and Nobles, or spending time with his wonderful girlfriend Rachael!

My favorite verse at this stage of my life is Phil 3:13, 14 ~ “Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”

Favorite? That’s tough… Last Sunday another (UU) church member and I led a “Scripture Box” service where congregation members were asked to select a passage from the Bible and share it and their thoughts about it. My own selection, and the comments I used to introduce it follow:

James 3.2
For we all stumble in many ways. If someone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect individual, able to control the entire body as well.
I godly man once accused me of something I didn’t do and said very harsh words. I was pretty crushed and went home only to read the Bible and find comfort in this verse, realizing that even the most godly of men can offend with the tongue.

Um… John’s Prologue; Wisdom 7.26; Hebrews 1.3; Phil. 2.6-8; Joel 2.32; Acts 2.38
Why? All pointing to the wonderful deity of Christ.

John 19 &20
this is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness more than light, because their deeds are evil. vs 20 For everyone who does evil, hates the light, and does not come to the light for FEAR that his deed swill be exposed….1john 4…But perfect Love cast out fear ,because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. Hey He loved us first Cast your cares on him for he cares for you, but thats another vs
