Hobbins on Leviticus 25

In today’s Christmas sermon our pastor told a story he’s told before, but with a slightly different slant, and that reminded me of a number of things I’ve been thinking about over the last couple of weeks. Let me be clear that I’m not criticizing the pastor for telling the story with a different slant….

I reflect on my experience memorizing Psalm 119 in a Christian school, highlighting the importance of balancing scholarly and spiritual Bible study. I emphasize that reading the Bible shouldn’t be a duty to earn God’s favor, but a personal connection. I encourage diverse approaches to engaging with Scripture, tailored to individual preferences.
