Bible Note: Very well expressed, Hank. I teach the Wild About Wednesday bible study at my UMC and I am the only teacher in our church that goes verse by verse and sometimes word by word through the bible. I am now teaching 1John through Jude. Most of the other classes teach grief mgt., single again, growing old aint for sisies, world religions, and feel good stuff. At one point a few years ago, I tended to break the first commandment by making a god of Christian books written by men. I read every new book to such an extent that I neglected God's Holy Word. As I told you a while back, I became also so obsessed by which Bible was the best version that I spun my wheels and got no where. BTW, at one point, I got so obsessed by the Internet and this forum that I was spending less time with God and His Holy Word. That is why I have been on hiatus for quite a while. The Holy Spirit straightened me out. I say "Back to the Bible". Amen |
