Let me briefly explain how Gordon's Bible Blog works, ok?
Courses
We'll start with a course that will first take us through the Bible. This course is called, "Introduction to the Bible" (IttB). I will write an article to a passage of the Bible that you can read. Within that there will be a Bible reading plan, which will set out certain chapters you should read. It is, of course, the best thing to read the whole book under discussion. Yet maybe you may not always have timne to do so, and that's why I will lay emphasis on certain chapters so that you will have the historical context. In this course we won't be able to discuss all biblical books, but you will get an overview of biblical history and more clear understand the main message. It will be important that you participate in the discussions; you can comment at the bottom of the article ("comment") and try to answer my questions (short and sweet) and also ask questions about the text. In this way we can all share online and help other another - we can all learn from each other and your input will be important! As soon as we have complete this introduction to the Bible, we can tackle different themes and go deeper into biblical books and doctrines.
Word of the Week
In the "Introduction to the Blog" I wrote that we need a good balance between devotional and analytical Bible reading. In order to that, I will write a "Word of the Week," which should encourage you, motivate you to pray and meditate, and challenge you to discuss with other Christians. These articles will be in three parts: teaching, what the text meant; application, how this has relevance for you and how you can apply this biblical text personally; discussion, in which you can share with others via "comment" at the end o fthe article and by which we can help each other. I will also participate in the discussions and I am looking forward to learning many things from you!
Is everything clear now? If not, do ask questions below: "comment." Thanks! Remember, there is no such thing as a silly question. Perhaps someone out there on the web doesn't dare to ask the very question you are posing, and because you are bold to do so, you are helping someone. Isn't that good, right?
Shalom,
Gordon
