The word incarnation comes from two Latin words (as do so many theological words!) which together mean "into flesh." When the Holy Spirit came upon Mary and she conceived in her womb the promised Savior (Luke 1:35), at that point the Second Person of the Holy Trinity came "into flesh" and into human history. God the Son visited this creation in a way that was unique, not to be repeated. In heaven, therefore, Jesus Christ has no mother; in the incarnation He had no (biological) father.

What exactly is atonement? In some literature which explains atonement, the writer may point out that the verb used in the Old Testament can mean theoretically "to cover." Then it might be said that Old Testament sacrifices covered over the sins of God's people until the coming of Jesus Christ and His definitive sacrifice, offered once for all.

The author believes the trivium model of learning (as far as it goes), passes the biblical test. While the Romans did not start or end with the fear of God (though some in the medieval period perhaps did), nevertheless, they did get part of it right. The "trivium" has reference to educational method — how to educate. The model is comprised of three phases of learning: 1) grammar, 2) dialectic, and 3) rhetoric. These are but new labels for the biblical concepts of: 1) knowledge, 2) understanding, and 3) wisdom. 

In its most ordinary usage adoption points to what a married couple chooses to do to bring a child biologically not their own into their home. In theology adoption is also used to designate one important link in the "golden chain of salvation." Far too often adoption is slighted or neglected in discussions of our redemption.

Herman Veldkamp's Commentary on Jeremiah 13: the conclusion of the thirteenth chapter, starting at verse 18, is an address to the king and queen-mother. Its tone is unusual. Royalty is generally favored with more flattering speech. Not many orators would be misled into using Jeremiah's address as a model for their own. A brief summary of his speech can be found in a quote from the New Testament: "he who does sin is a servant to sin."

When the words of the prophets made no impact on the people, God visited them with deeds. He then had the prophets perform some unusual act which would make the people sit up and take notice. Once their curiosity had been stimulated, God would give an explanation for the act, hoping to thus turn their curiosity into genuine interest and their interest into faith and repentance. This article discusses an example from Jeremiah 13

Sometimes it seems that our idea of church unity bears a frightening similarity to the world's idea of marital unity. Just as the world has exchanged the glory and the wonder of true marriage for an altered and impoverished substitute, maybe we have exchanged the glory and the wonder of true church unity for some sentimental and vague substitute. The federative relationship does bear similarity to marriage, at least in some of its aspects.
