The Bible- Tips, Tricks & Traps

I asked Deacon Tim to do a few podcasts on the Bible - I want that same passion he has when he reads the Bible!   In this podcast, he challenges us to go beyond a surface, conventional reading of the Bible and put aside our modern thinking and cultural bias.  When you follow Deacon Tim's tips and tricks, and avoid the traps, plan to be challenged as the Bible comes alive as God's living letter to us! 

PS - Are you still sending our podcast around to your friends and family?  This one is a great one to send around!

Glad you're back safely from your vacation! OOOOh I just hate it when I can't lazily fall back on "neutralizing"--fine! I'll face the materialism--you're right, you're right, you're right. It's just so difficult to hear because it's difficult to live it. I was thinking about how materialistic it was for me to have my little iPod but I neutralized it thinking God wouldn't mind since I was listening to his Word (you guys). OK so I have some work to do in this arena.

I really loved how Tim said that if you listen to these passages with an imagination you start to hear the 'echoes of God'. I have been struggling with the literal reading and with how to bring the Word to life in my own life. Thanks!

Thanks for the encouragement, Katrina. In the next podcast we'll offer a couple of more suggestions and then list some really great resources for getting more out of the Bible. Listen for the echoes! Fasten your seatbelt!
