YWAMSF!

So, I will admit to you how hard it is to right a blog when you are going through “Plumbline.” But you’ll hear all about that next post, so GET READY!

For now, let me talk about the one and only Art Collins. What a guy! His topic last week was ‘The Bible.’ Pretty generic, eh? Well if anyone can make a boring topic, beyond epic, it’s Art Collins.

Alright, I love the bible. I mean, THE LIVING WORD?! Who wouldn’t love that? But really sitting down and being able to study the word and get into it and gain things from it has always been a difficult aspect of my walk with Christ. But Art’s approach is so phenomenal. On the first day we got a packet full of easy ways to really dive into the word and effectively study it.

Our assignment for the next two weeks was to study the book of Jonah using his preferred method, the synthetic approach, which when you first look at it, it looks tedious and boring, but in reality it’s SO helpful. I’ve read the story of Jonah before, but this method helped me to really UNDERSTAND the point of the story and how I can apply it to my life. RAD.

Usually, for each speaker I write about 20 pages of notes, but I didn’t have many this week because we were working out of the packet, but looking in my notes I got one really good quote: “God does not grant revelation of himself to the casual inquirer, but rather the diligent seeker.”

This week I really gained a hunger to know God more through his word and I would challenge you all to do the same because it’s amazing (:

Thanks for your time and support, and get ready for next week’s post because it’ll be intense!
