This post is a place holder, an entry point if you will, for anyone who would like to pose a question for our group to study. To do so, follow the steps below, and be patient.
Following this post, is an option to add a comment. Click on that link, follow those steps, and submit it.
All comments will be monitored, so you probably won't see your question immediately. However, when it is reviewed, and 'posted' to the page, it will be asked in our Bible study group. Afterwards, the discussion will be uploaded to our church's alternate site, where our study recordings are accessible. Since I am new at this, I believe I can add , in my response post to your comment, a link to the sound file, (*.wma) that contains the discussion. This may be a time consuming, inefficient process, and for that, I apologize. What I am trying to avoid, is that this become an alternate source for answers, in and of itself. What we expect it to be, is a means to hear a Biblical answer to the question. During that process, (asking/posting, waiting for answer to be uploaded, and listening), if anyone should be curious, I would also hope that the Scriptures brought forth in our other recordings might provide answers to other questions, and in doing so, may encourage those to seek their own understanding revealed thropugh His Word.
A 'caveat' to all this, is that, firstly, because the Bible is written for anyone to understand, any answer must be researched, and understood by the one asking the question. We don't have final authority on what the Bible says. That's why you, the one seeking answers, must not rely on 'what we say it says'. Secondly, the purpose of this blog, as well as of us, as a church, is not to 'convert' anyone 'to our way of thinking', We, each, have a will, and a mind; it is the choice, for each of us to make, whether we will 'put on the mind of Christ' or not; and whether we will do the will of Christ, or not. "Not my will, but Thine..." As is recorded, the first Commandment is, "...Love the Lord your God, with all you heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, with all your strength..." It is in our obedience to the rest of the commandment, "... and (love) your neighbor, as yourself", that we urge each to 'search the scriptures', because that's where LIFE is.
So, dig deep, send your tap root into the depths of the wisdom and knowledge of Christ, which you will find in His Word!
