The four laws I thought were really interesting to process through. They had so many different concepts. The one thing I enjoyed was the first law and how it said that God does not think the economy is a bad thing. Even though so many times people will think God’s opinion is a certain way, however, we do not know how God truly feels. Along with this and the idea on how Jesus recruits people to help the kingdom grow was that he wants for us to step out of our comfort zone.

12/4/17 BIBL Eat This Book Summary For the special project I chose to read the book “Eat This Book” by Eugene Peterson and throughout reading this book I found it to be interesting on the topic he chose to talk about. But before I go off into what I found interesting about the book and what I gained or learned from after reading this, let go back and explain what this book is about, and the main topic is throughout this book. In the book author Eugene Peterson believes that the way we read the bible is just as important as the fact that we even read the bible to begin with and even goes on to say in the book “Do we read the Bible for information about God and salvation, for principles and ‘truths’ that we can use to live better?

Study questions are also provided at the end of each chapter, which allow the reader the opportunity to think deeper about the subject and encourage further study in the Word of God. The questions could also be used as a guide for discussion during a Bible study. The Endnotes included at the end of the book give some additional background information that I found to be helpful as well. In reading this book, I definitely learned some new things. For example, Combs writing indicates that in the Bible Adam’s wife is not referred to as “Eve” until the end of Genesis Chapter 3 (after they ate the forbidden fruit), and the word “sin” is not used until Genesis Chapter 4 in

In Thomas Long’s The Witness of Preaching, he aims to urge the reader to become a reliable witness of the gospel by way of ample preparation before entering a pulpit. The text offers to the reader a deeper understanding of the ministry of preaching. A useful component of the text contains informative bits of information that make the reader aware of the lengthy but necessary preparation needed for an adequate explanation of the scripture. Of primary importance is the consideration of the congregation when a preacher is first approaching the text. This point is of vital importance as it signifies that the speaker is a member of the body of Christ and the congregation.

Therefore, most verses should be studied through the life and ministry of Jesus as written about in the four gospels and the rest of the New Testament. (I call it reading the Bible with my Jesus glasses on.) This above would all be for coaching the group leader and then I would ask them to get practical with the group participant so that they could get to understand why the participant interpreted the scripture in such a manner. I would encourage them to do some study together and even read some church doctrine about divine revelation—such as chapter four in Olsen’s book The Mosaic of Christian Belief.

The filling of the Holy Spirit has intrigued me for quite some time as a concept that seems to me to be a little vague in the minds of many Christians today. Yet, nevertheless, it strikes me as being a very important issue as it pertains to our lives as followers of our glorious Lord Jesus Christ. Anything that directly affects our relationship to God is of vital importance for a few very good reasons. First, as stated in the Westminster shorter catechism: “Man’s primary purpose is to glorify God and enjoy him forever.” We cannot glorify the Lord if we do not know what he wants us to do or how he wants us to live.
