Well, it has been a month since I have posted to this blog. Time's fun when you're having flies!
Although there is not a lot of time for extended study these days, it is nevertheless a time of phenomenal learning for me. It seems to be a season of theological exclamation points. By that I mean that many things that I have sensed in my spirit have either been confirmed or are being articulated by others whom our Creator is bringing into my path. The challenge for me is to keep an open mind and allow the Scriptures to be my guide. We are in a time that open mindedness, or more perfectly open scripture-ness is vital to understanding the day in which we live. We must be willing to allow our doctrines to be defined by a preponderance of biblical evidence, and never one or two verses pulled out of context. It is a difficult challenge to me, as a former denominational pastor, to lay aside man's ideas as to the interpretation of scriptural passages. I must be willing to lead the way in going back to the original languages to determine for myself the meaning of scripture. I must fully accept the promised help of the Holy Spirit in teaching me Truth. If the New Covenant is Yahuweh's Word written on my heart, than I must be willing to accept, apply, and also accept the consequences of disobedience to what He has written on my heart.
There is much more to come and hopefully time for particulars in the days ahead.
Shalom
