The Bible is awesome and true. In its pages we learn about God and may also encounter God. The Bible is not magic - we should not use scriptures like a magic spell. The Bible is not perfect - its primary function is not to present an accurate history or scientific revelation.
In this series, we have focused on the human element of the Bible; but, the Holy Spirit's role is of primary importance. While God's voice is a voice in the Bible, there are other voices as well.
The pastor likes to read and put into his own words the scriptures he has read. You can also use inductive reasoning - you look at a passage and ask yourself a series of questions about it.
Today we read Philemon and use inductive reasoning as a group exercise. That said, I will end these notes here.
