If we’re honest, we can admit that people have not changed since 750 BC. As an example, let’s look at the book of Amos.Īsk: What is the passage saying about God? What does it say about His people? What is God saying to me (Is there something I’m supposed to know or do from this passage)? Why should I care?Īmos’ words are strikingly relevant. The minor prophets may seem cryptic or unrelatable, but I have discovered deep meaning through this approach. As I encounter God through the Bible, I approach His prophecy much like I approach any part of His Word. He longs for us to understand our utter need for Him and see His glory amid the darkness of fallen humanity.īSF has taught countless people, like me, not only to read God’s Word but how to unpack His Word. But God has something deep for us to uncover.
In the midst of People of the Promise: Kingdom Divided, you may be weary. I was quick to respond in my group to the simple questions and avoid eye contact with the deeper, more challenging ones.īut I had to ask: Is this what God intended for me? Is this how God wants me to encounter, understand, and be transformed by Him? Maybe you can relate.Īs a long –, long –, long-time BSFer, I did my best to swallow the passage whole and glean something close to an answer. I have a confession – I have struggled to read through the Old Testament prophets.
