Sample Page John 3:1

Sample Page Heading

This is an example page. It’s different from a blog post because it will stay in one place and will show up in your site navigation (in most themes). Also, look at John 3:16-17. Most people start with an About page that introduces them to potential site visitors. It might say something like this:

[perfectpullquote align=”full”]Hi there! I’m a bike messenger by day, aspiring actor by night, and this is my website. I live in Los Angeles, have a great dog named Jack, and I like piña coladas. (And gettin’ caught in the rain.)[/perfectpullquote]

Hi there! I’m a bike messenger by day, aspiring actor by night, and this is my website. I live in Los Angeles, have a great dog named Jack, and I like piña coladas. (And gettin’ caught in the rain.)

As I commence the summary of my readings—before we speak of the liturgy, theology and missiology that encompass ‘worship’—it is first useful to place some definitional pegs in the soil by providing a description of what Christian worship is. Several of the books developed their own explanation of the term.2 Peterson expresses succinctly that ‘worship… is essentially an engagement with [God] on the terms that he proposes and in the way that he alone makes possible’, a hypothesis that he expounds throughout the book.[2] His trajectory lands with the affirmation of these ‘terms’, namely that ‘acceptable worship is an engagement with God, through Jesus Christ, in the Holy Spirit – a Christ-centred, gospel-serving, life-orientation’.[3]

Firstly, we must determine whether Ἰουνιαν, was a man or woman. And we are immediately presented with a textual problem which is only visible in the Greek of Romans 16:7:

[perfectpullquote align=”full” class=”firstClass”]ἀσπάσασθε Ἀνδρόνικον καὶ Ἰουνιαν τοὺς συγγενεῖς μου καὶ συναιχμαλώτους μου, οἵτινές εἰσιν ἐπίσημοι ἐν τοῖς ἀποστόλοις, οἳ καὶ πρὸ ἐμοῦ γέγοναν ἐν Χριστῷ.3[/perfectpullquote]
