Biblical Interpretation Through Demonstration
Teaching biblical interpretation through demonstration.
How do you write what people actually want to read? People want to know the answers to their questions. People have deep questions that require genuine answers. Who am I? Where am I going? What is my purpose? These questions are answered by the Bible. As a student of the Bible, I enjoy giving answers … Continue reading I Write Answering Questions
What’s the most spontaneous thing you’ve ever done? My whole life is spontaneous. I rarely do anything planned except my Bible study, daily devotionals, and my job. Life rarely goes as expected. Therefore, I rarely plan. My parents were like that. We would go on random road trips, the movies, eat out, etc. I rarely … Continue reading I Rarely Do Anything Planned
In my previous post, I said that I do not focus on self-care. I let God take care of me. That statement may sound strange in a culture that constantly tells us to look inward for strength, peace, and fulfillment. Yet Scripture repeatedly points us away from ourselves and toward God. The question is this: … Continue reading What Does It Look Like to Let God Take Care of You?
How do you make time for self-care? Self-care is often defined as taking time to take care of yourself. The idea is that we do so much for others that we forget to take care of ourselves. Yet, the Bible tells us to love our neighbors as ourselves. It is implied that we already love … Continue reading I Don’t. I Let God Take Care of Me.
What’s a place you visited that felt like home? Any time I go to church, whether I am visiting or going to my home church, I feel like I am at home. When I am with my spiritual family, I feel more at home than with my biological family. Blood is thicker than water. Christ's … Continue reading Anytime I Go to Church
What’s one thing you wish you had started doing earlier in life? I read through the Bible twice a year. I have been doing that for since I was 21. Yet, I wish I started doing as a child. I would probably have an even higher retention rate. However, God doesn't deal in what ifs. … Continue reading Reading the Bible All the Way Through
If you could pick any fictional animal to be your lifelong companion (like a Pokémon or fantasy pet), what would it be? If I had a pet, my favorite fictional pet would be Snoopy from Peanuts.Like many people, I enjoy a quiet life filled with reading, relaxing, and spending time with friends and family. That … Continue reading If I Had a Pet, My Favorite Fictional Pet Would Be Snoopy
If you had to switch lives with a fictional character for a week, who would you choose? I would rather spend my days reading, resting, and eating than actually work in a world that resembles Morgoth more. I think that is the point of the Hobbit. Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who is respectable. He … Continue reading Bilbo Baggins
Have you ever liked a villain more than the hero? Who and why? When I was younger, I took one of those Facebook quizzes to see what kind of villain I would be. Turns out, I'd be the Joker. I feel like it fits. I have the kind of personality that wants to have fun … Continue reading Yes Joker Over Batman
What’s the longest book you’ve ever read? Aside from the Bible, I read it twice a year, the longest book I have ever read was the Institutes of the Christian Religion by John Calvin. In Bible college, I was told he taught "doctrines of demons." Yet, they never quoted his books or writings. I thought … Continue reading Calvin’s Institutes
