I have the day off work today which is great except I am in the library studying Barth’s soteriology and have been the whole weekend, but I shoudl hopefully be finished today as I have to spend the rest of the week packing up the house and moving down to Aberdeen.
Today the first post of Scot McKinghts series on Wisdom from Pastors by Kent Anderson, pastor of a Covenant church in Naperville Illinois:
"the one thing I would make sure of if I was starting over again is this – read the Bible…Why do this? In every other element of my position I know that there are people in the church who know more about leadership and vision casting, finances, building construction and maintenance, pedagogy and the care and feeding of copiers. But I need to know the Bible. I need to know it intimately, its themes (large and small) the people who populate it and its flow. I need to know it personally to be able to carefully use it professionally. The more I read it the more I am drawn to it. And I discover more about myself in reading the Bible. "
