As we listen to Revelation, we can easily find ourselves suspicious of what the text actually means. If we over-analyze and dig too deep into the meaning of the text, however, we may run the risk of missing the elements that make Revelation unique. Interpreting this apocalyptic literature requires a sense of creativity and imagination that allows us to look beyond the words of the text and into the heart of its author. What do you see in the author's heart of discipleship? How can this illuminate our personal spirit of discipleship?
Welcome!This Lenten season, the First Baptist Church of Christ will take the time to listen to the entire New Testament (days and passages are listed on the right column). Through our partnership with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, every member of the church will be offered a free MP3 recording of the New Testament. By listening to this recording for less than half an hour each day, one can hear the entire New Testament in forty days.
At this blog, you’ll be able to read some of our members’ thoughts about what they are hearing. Our contributors reflect the great diversity of our congregation. They are male and female, older and younger, some with a seminary background and some without. As you read their questions, reflections, and observations, I invite you to join the conversation by posting a comment.
