Digging in The Dirt & Digging in The Word
Many years ago we went to Boston as a family. That great city was in the midst of the “Big Dig” at the time. It turned out to be a fifteen-year dig!

The Necessity of the Old Testament to Understand and Interpret the New Testament
There is great validity in yearning for the promises of God to the saints in the Old Testament.

Reading through the Scriptures of the OT gives us a sense of familiarity with the moral bankruptcy of its characters. The many quotes of OT Scripture in the New reinforce this awareness. Even so, what would be the necessity of the OT in understanding and interpreting the New? A few points are to be considered....
