The first one to speak went on and on for about 15 minutes, without any scripture references, working up a sweat in the process…yet ended with “Well, God hasn’t given me anything to say” and sat down for the next one to get up and speak. Needless to say, I didn’t return.
And then there are those that teach the Bible as though it were just a history lesson. You have already addressed that. You can’t really grow as a Christian with a history lesson either. We need the Word applied! Thank you Jay Adams and Donn Arms for making scriptures really come alive and speak to our hearts!
