This Sunday: Encouraging someone to use Bible commentaries
We recently handed out some study Bibles to people in our congregation. I personally have been wanting more people to know how to read and use their Bibles since discovering some who thought the numbers and headings in our Bibles are also inspired Scripture.
Our pastor and I also began giving some people our extra copies of commentaries (plus a few gifts of new commentaries), with guidance on using these resources as helps rather than definitive truth about passages. We are beginning to see dramatic growth in many within our congregation.
Knowledge is power, and understanding our Bibles better helps us understand ou Lord and Savior better, and the power of God us life-changing.

VerseD: Joshua 1:8
This book of instruction must not depart from your mouth; you are to meditate on it day and night so that you may carefully observe everything written in it. For then you will prosper and succeed in whatever you do.
Joshua 1:8, CSB

Do we truly love the Lord our God with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strengths? Maybe I can help with the mind part, at least! This is Daniel M. Klem, apparent poet, reluctant yet passionate Disciple (Peter?), and foolish man attempting to understand theology!
