Contemplative Bible Reading

2 Timothy 3:16-17

16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Paul is writing about what we know as the Old Testament. Sometimes I assume that the New Testament is all important. I strive to live in a New Testament church. I believe the teachings about salvation found in the New Testament.

A brief look through these entries in this blog will show a good portion are from the Old Testament. While many of the Old Testament “laws” are no longer applicable today, the Old Testament does provide for

• teaching
• rebuking
• correcting
• training in righteousness

Perhaps one day, I can step through these and comment on each one. That is one of the things I love about this blog and God’s word. Each day brings a new perspective and knew edification.
