The following is an exercise that I have utilized several times to gauge my students present an understanding of the Biblical narrative. According to Barna’s report on spiritual growth in 2017, millennials reported Bible reading as the most important spiritual discipline, but less than 30% noted any reading in a previous month. I would putContinue reading “Organizing the Biblical Narrative for Easy Memorization”

Three Reflections on the Old Testament Tabernacle
We recently had the opportunity to co-host a course on the Old Testament Tabernacle in Ashland, Kentucky. A long-time family friend facilitated the sessions and shared many fantastic points about the Old Testament Tabernacle. After I few days of reflection, I want to offer three observations from this course. The Old Testament and allContinue reading “Three Reflections on the Old Testament Tabernacle”

One of the most familiar stories of the Bible is that of David and Goliath. This is a story of a young teen facing impossible odds and through the grace of God was victorious. The stance that David made is admirable. The faith that he displayed is inspirational. The commitment he had to God isContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#33)”

The story of Samuel is one of my favorites. Here is a man who both began and finished well. That is a rare feat among today’s leaders and even many of the leaders in the Bible (of course not all the leaders in the Bible are trying to be good). However, Samuel is one whoseContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#31)”

This short book in the Old Testament is the first of two books named after women in the entire Bible. One may wonder why she is included in the Scripture. After all, she is not of Hebrew descent but was brought in through marriage. However, through her story, we see the faithfulness to God andContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#30)”

The story of Samson is one of the incredible feats he performed by God’s Spirit. However, at times, it is difficult to understand what we can gain from these passages in Scripture that apply to us today. After reading about Samson’s life, we will be able to take away a better understanding of God’s workContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#29)”

First John 4:1 reads, “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” John continues with a litmus test for professing believers. Discernment is an essential part of the Christian life. Not everything that seems like it is from GodContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#28)”

Transitions from one part of life to another is never easy. People are resistant to change and are quick to defend against change. Israel went through such a transition. After 40 years of wandering in the wilderness, an entire generation passed away. God raised up a new leader, Joshua, to take over where Moses leftContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#23)”

Does your family have any traditions that are times of celebrations? More than likely, you do. It’s a way that we stay connected to our heritage. There are some traditions that probably should be changed, but there are those traditions that are so rich in meaning that it would be detrimental to a groups history byContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#19)”

One of my favorite stories is the Chronicles of Narnia. In The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, the children are talking about the Christ-like figure, Aslan the Lion. The conversation goes, “Aslan is a lion- the Lion, the great Lion.” “Ooh,” said Susan. “I’d thought he was a man. Is he quite safe? IContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#18)”
