These will be a collection of very short, sometimes random snippets of the Bible, along with commentary, questions, or notes from Andrew’s personal thoughts as he reads for the day. I’m making it public for accountability and the small chance it can edify or spark thoughts for someone else! The community-focus of this blog means I don’t expect to be factually or theologically correct as I write. Hopefully this can be a learning process for both me and others.
Ground Rules:
- I know I won’t always be right as I try to interpret and understand the Bible.
- I believe the Bible is mysterious and “living” – God speaks to the us as we learn to read it more.
- The Bible is not a textbook, rulebook, or “how-to” book.
- My thoughts and opinions will change over time but I’d like to archive my process.
- Take anything here with a grain of salt (and be kind if I’m wrong). I’m just someone trying to read the Bible more and I don’t mind posting my journey for others to see. Please comment or correct or add your thoughts!
