A year is a long time to focus on one book. I could be tempted to spend a year on:1. The Psalms. The Psalms are a dsicripteon of what it means to live life in God's Kingdom, through the good and the bad. Jesus' teaching seems to be very formed by the Psalms. Good formation for a congregation as well. 2. Any gospel. Since it hasn't been mentioned yet, I'll go with Matthew. The 5 teaching sections in Matthew provide a natural way to cover both the power of Jesus' life and the content of his teaching. And it would be difficult to spend to much time teaching the Sermon on the Mount.3. Romans. Paul's longest and most detailed argument. And as Wesleyan's we need to be regularly helping people read Romans 7 in the context of Romans 6 and 8.

James, really love the first 2 imegas. The birds in the first one just make it for me. I love the moodiness of it too. As a side note, did you notice you talked about food in your last 2 posts? hehe! I love tacos!

Hi Toni.I'm glad you found this interesting.I read your alrcite about hell (not out of interest, but just to be polite), and regardless of what the bible meant, (and I take issue with claims that the bible shouldn't be taken literally for starters), is that I find the idea of god' accepting people who believe in him into heaven' as repugnant.I believe in doing the right thing because I care about others in the world around me who are affected by my actions and inactions. I don't believe in doing the right thing for the sake of getting into heaven' or for receiving karma' (which I know isn't a Christian thing, but just saying).If we have true empathy and compassion and a conscience, then reward and punishment should have nothing to do with our actions in the case of adults.Likewise, it rubs me the wrong way that god' is like some jealous lover, who will supposedly only reward those who are on his team'. Never mind if you aren't on his team but are a really good person. I have read the bible when I went to bible club and youth group (when I was trying to make sense of it myself). I don't any longer want to learn what it says, so I find it odd that you recommend that I read it if I want to learn what it says. I think this post, and others written on the subject, make it excruciatingly clear that I have no interest in that. Sure, I do have a passing interest when I see adult Christians believing in this stuff, and it baffles and amazes me, but that's vastly different to actually seeking answers at this point in my life. I know the Christian scriptures aren't true.So, with all that in mind, why harp on it? Why continue to encourage me to seek answers' to questions I don't have? Hey, we all know how to buy a bible. We all know where to find a church. We all have Christian friends. If we want the answers', we can seek it ourselves or ask someone. I think it's rude when Christians don't wait until they're asked, to be honest.Sharon recently posted.. 0 likes
