There are so many ways to study the Bible...yet so little time.
I was a bit overwhelmed with all the choices and questions provided in our booklet: "BASIC TRAINING", "Learning & Doing the Basics of Personal Bible Study". I'm just glad there are men with higher
educations and loftier goals than I. I'm glad for written commentaries
where those who are called to the task have spent their entire lives studying
and reaching for the true meaning in God’s word. I'm glad I live in
America where I can reach for those commentaries without fear of retribution
and for the Internet software that gives us free and unlimited access to those
lofty minds who have brought out all the nuances of hidden meaning in God's
prophecies and instructions.
But most of all I am thankful for the Holy
Spirit that will work with me, through me and for me to help me understand
God's word for my life. And I am thankful for Tom who calls us to a
higher level of intimacy with God's word and for his passion, enthusiasm and belief;
not only in us but also in the God who loves us.
