Im writing to encourage us about seeking the truth!
I feel that many Christians nowadays do not read the Bible enough, including me.
Have we lost the the passion for knowing the God we worship?
Today, I just pondered about how little Biblical knowledge i have.
For example, i couldn't even name all of the 12 disciples of Jesus.
these are some 'important/popular' or more frequently heard names found in the Bible.
Abraham
Moses
David
Elijah
Isaiah
JESUS
Peter
Paul
Ask ourselves, how much do we know about these names? about their lives? their ministry?
some of us may know quite alot about these names, some of us may not have a clue who these people really are.
Now, lets try something 'simpler'..
These are some of the common words we sing in praise and adoration to God during worship.
Hosanna
Hallelujah
Emmanuel
ask ourselves again. do we know what we actually mean when we sing and cry out these words to God?
again, some of us may know, some of us may not
Then what is real faith if we do not know much about who we're putting this faith in.
So i hope that we all take sometime to really ponder and reflect about this in holy discontentment.
Let us take up this challenge of really building up our Biblical knowledge together!
love,
Zenas
