Finishing a Chapter . . . Well several
Today I finish a journey I set out on almost a year ago. I blogged my way through the gospels and the book of Acts, asking two questions. What is the Gospel? What is the Kingdom of God/Heaven?
I entered into the study with the humility to recognize that I may not completely know what the Gospel and the Kingdom is despite a Bachlors in Biblical Studies, a Masters of Divinity, and a few Doctorate of Ministry courses under my belt. Amazing huh?
In hind sight I understood a piece of the Gospel well, and I understood aspects of the Kingdom, but there were too many verses that my understanding did not know what to do with.
Not that I have it all figured out, but I understand enough that I know what God would have me do (rather than just what God would have me believe). I think if those who claim to be followers of Jesus where crystal clear on those two questions, our world would be a different place.

Congrats on concluding your study. I have enjoyed gleaning from what you discovered.
I love what you said about knowing what God would have us do rather than just what He would have us believe. Right on.
So where do you go from here?
Good Question Bri. Not sure yet.
Fun light pictures!
And, yes, the world would be a different place if we obeyed him better.
Have a great weekend! Tomorrow is Friday!
God bless you. - JN.14:27 Rom.5:8

Might I suggest blogging through the Pentatuch?
