Wordful Wednesday

January 16, 2008

In an attempt to bet back into a consistent Bible study, I’m starting this weekly column Wordful Wednesday. I will be posting my summaries and reflections from Dwight Edwards Bible study Experiencing Christ Within.

When I first started blogging I posted on this life changing study, but some where along the way dropped the book. I’m wanting to be more consistent with this intense study and I hope you’ll help me be accountable by commenting and starting discussions.

I’ll be posting a teaser here and then redirecting you to Portrait of Faith where I do all my Bible studies. I hope you’ll join me on this journey!

Revolution Within

Dwight Edwards says, “In the Old Covenant (the law), God’s people were instructed with the repeated words, ‘You shall…’ and ‘You shall not…’

But in the New Covenant, the watchword is no longer ‘You shall,’ but God’s ‘I will’:

‘I will put My law in their minds…and I will be their God…I will forgive their iniquity’; ‘I will cleanse you…I will give you a new heart…I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statues.’ (Jeremiah 31:33-34; Ezekiel 36:25-27)

Nothing is more fundamental to understanding and appreciating the difference between the two covenants than these two phrases.”

Did you get what the scripture is saying?

From the day I received my first diary in the second grade, I've had a passion expressing myself through writing. Later as a journalist and novelist, I realized words, if used powerfully, have the ability to touch, stir, and reach from the depths of one soul to another. Today as a writing and health coach, I inspire others to live their extraordinary life and encourage them to share their unique stories.
