  • New Series on Familiar Passages

    New Series on Familiar Passages

    After I posted the final entry on Psalm 119, I thought I might take a break from daily meditations, but my wife has challenged me with the suggestion that I should post some meditations on familiar passages, such as, she suggested, Psalm 23.

    I was a bit reluctant to start, but then I spent some time reading today and I decided to try it. So tomorrow morning at 7 am my first post, an introduction to Psalm 23, should appear.

    I’m going to continue the same process of study and meditation, not trying to provide exegetical commentary so much as thoughts and application. My study process does involve exegesis, however, so that will be involved.

    I hope this will be enjoyable for all.

  • A Brief Venture into the Practical

    9781938434716sOh, we don’t have to keep it brief. My friend Greg May (also an Energion author, Crewed Awakening and It’s in the Toolbox) wrote a great post this morning about application. There’s nothing wrong, in my view, and much good about learning the nuts and bolts of the Bible.

    I’ve encountered an attitude similar to that of the guy in Greg’s post many times. I am urged to stick with just the facts. But the Bible isn’t about “just the facts.” In fact, the parables of Jesus are best not “solved” but left to stimulate our kingdom thinking.

    So let me link to another friend, who went on a thinking spree about the prodigal son. You may well disagree with where his thinking led him, and that should generate some good discussion, but the process is wonderful.

    And that is a brief post for me!
