“When we read Revelation 2-3, we are essentially reading a report card, created by Jesus, for each of the seven churches of Asia.”
“When we read Revelation 2-3, we are essentially reading a report card, created by Jesus, for each of the seven churches of Asia.”
“Yes, itโs important for us to think of Jesus and the 33 years He spent on earth, to get to know His culture and world. We should strive for Jesus to be as familiar to us as He was to John. Thereโs great value and blessing in knowing Jesus and His ministry during His time on earth, but itโs also necessary for us to brush off our imaginations and pay attention to how John described Jesus in Revelation…”
“When we look at the Bible through a Middle Eastern Lens, we no longer see the need to resolve the paradox that is created by the โwrathful Fatherโ of the Old Testament and the โcompassionate Sonโ of the New Testament.”
“We donโt have to worry about trying to drink from a fire hose when studying Scripture, but instead, receive an intentional filling of the steady drip of Living Water.”
“Bold, persistent, unflinching honesty, lacking trepidation, and timidnessโthese are all words I underlined in this weekโs reading as it came to describing how Jesus wants us to be in prayer.”
“Pointing out othersโ downfalls behind their backs are careless fires that can be stamped out with careful evaluation. We are meant to lift and edify each other up with our speech. To do any less falls short of reflecting Christ in us.”
“…we must be mindful of the reputation we form as a member of the body of Christ. And more importantly, we need to be mindful of what our words and actions say about our Heavenly Father. Are we representing Him well?”
“The number of concordances, commentaries, or different translations we use cannot compare, supplement, or be viewed as a replacement for communal study.”
“The entire Gospel story of His birth, life, death, and resurrection could not and would not have happened if Jesus was of any other descent.”
“We are so blessed to live in an age where we have access to so many Bible study tools and resources, presented in various formats, available to us in our homes or in our pockets, that help us to more fully understand and interact with Godโs Word.”
