Monday, May 20, 2024Ep. 910 Bone Broth and Bible Study 1 John 2:25-29If you've ever made bone broth then you know the importance of having a good filter - a colander, seive, or cheese cloth. The same applies when we read the Bible. Shouldn't we read the Bible with no filter? Actually, no. We all read the Bible through a filter - several filters actually. The filter of our upbringing, our current situation, even our mood at that moment. Be aware of your filters. You can’t remove them - but you can be aware so that when you read the Word you can ask - How is God using His holy Word in my life to teach me, encourage me, convict me, and change me today?

Dwelling in the Word and letting the Word dwell in us richly is different than reading the Bible or reading a devotional with Bible passages. This podcast is all about letting the Word of Christ dwell in you richly and returning the favor in a sense by dwelling in the Word - not "doing" Bible study, not simply reading - but really moving into the Word with heart, soul, mind, and strength. It's being intentional in making a shift from treating the Word of God like a self-help book to letting it dwell in us as the living Word of God that it is.
