@MikeWingerii I would pound the like button a thousand times. Thank you, Mike. I have cringed at so many Bible studies where this line gets rolled out!!!!

When it comes to understanding the Bible, people often make the mistake of starting with the question of “How does this passage apply to my life today?” I say this is a mistake not because we want to apply the Bible to our lives but because we skip completely past understanding and just try to launch into application. I have seen this in small groups over and over again. I ask the group, “what do you think this passage is saying?” and someone replies “I need to do or believe such and such in my life when I face such and such circumstances.” Notice how easy it is to actually skip right past understanding on our rush to application. If we make this mistake over and over again we will likely get really weird with the Bible. It becomes a launchpad for a rotating series of pre-chosen applications that we have ready to drop on top of a passage, while actually obscuring the very meaning of the passage itself. We don’t end up following a normal study path. Step 1: Reading Step 2: Thinking Step 3: Interpreting (which involves a lot) Step 4: Applying Instead, we end up with. Step 1: Reading Step 2: Applying Step 3: Applying Step 4: Applying But what are we even applying? Some passages are immediately easy to apply, most are not. If we don’t understand the passage yet, but jump to application, we are literally forced into making something up. Bible study tip: Don’t apply right away. As always, I highly recommend gathering a list of questions about any given passage, long before trying to apply it, and letting that keep you grounded as you study.

97.3% of people won’t know this story. * statistical analysis determined by non-rigorous “gut feeling.” (pun intended) See Judges 3:12-30.

Is anyone else like me? Left-handed: writing, combing hair, shaving, brushing teeth, eating, drums, fine motor skills. Right-handed: throwing, punching, batting, using a mouse, guitar, strength tasks. Each of these tasks is always performed with the preferred hand. Am I alone?

@MadScientistFF Depends on how cooked. Peel and eat, butter or garlic butter. Grilled hot sauce, battered and fried, tartar sauce.

Here we go. Just when we thought we were in the clear, here comes the annual late season surprise❄️frost❄️& freeze advisories in zone 7A in Virginia tonight (& maybe tomorrow night too). Cover your plants and/or water them thoroughly at sunset. No excuse for dying young plants.

@fxbgHOT The first year or two, start up costs diminish savings, but I also raise rabbits for meat, and they give me plenty of fertilizer. But both the taste AND nutritional value are higher, and it's hard to put a price tag on that.

Given the cost of fertilizer, soil, seeds etc... do you feel growing vegatables at home is cheaper, about the same, or more expensive than buying the same veggies at the market. Obviously home grown tastes better, but sometimes I wonder if I'm saving any money. Comment please.

@bennyjohnson @AllieinMO No. I really like Tucker. I voted for Trump in 2020. I will not again. He guarantees a Democrat win. He is that unpopular except with his base. They MUST open their eyes!?

@Liz_Wheeler Either 1 or 3 work for me. I don't want to see him run for POTUS! He's a great guy, but I don't see him in that role.

When I came home from church today, the apartment building next to mine had like 5 or 6 cop cars. They appeared to be arresting one shirtless dude while someone (a woman?) screamed about something. I wonder what the issue was that required so many cops.

@SLawson1417 I never watched an episode, but if I'd realized what a beautiful woman Emelia Clarke is, I would have seriously considered tuning in.

@ScriptsByT I find them very attractive and appropriate for weddings and such, but I do not find them comfortable. I lived in Scotland for 20 years, but I'm from Kentucky. Not terribly appropriate there!!!

Why don't more men wear a kilt? I like the look. It's versatile, too. Even comes with a purse. Who needs pockets?

@MikeWingerii Mike I'm so glad for this post. I've been teaching people for years that to best understand the Bible read Luke first for who Jesus is, then Acts for what to do about it, then John. I also recommended the book of Hebrews before starting the OT. Thanks again!

Revelation is not only a complex and challenging book, it’s a book that constantly references the rest of the Bible. You don’t stand much of a chance of really grasping it without a well-rounded understanding of the rest of Scripture. May I suggest you start with one of the Gospels (Luke or John), then Acts, then Romans? Then begin working through the whole Bible. Perhaps with a full Bible reading plan. There are a bunch of free ones available online and even apps to help you keep track.
