Life-Risking Ministry

This week I had the opportunity to teach in the local DTS for 2 full days! It couldn't have gone better, thanks to those of you who prayed.

During day 2 I had a sudden memory: During my own DTS several years ago, a speaker prophesied over me that some day soon I would be teaching them! How very cool of God to remind me of that!

I taught on the general topic, "God's Word." I gave an overview of the bible; what it is, what's in it, why it's important, etc. I also gave a fun and interactive chronological bible walk-through; something I realize most Christians are clueless about, and something I always get great feedback on.

The remainder of the time I walked them through the inductive approach to study the bible, and we delved into Philemon, exploring the depths of mysterious theology and together conquering great heights of inspiring revelation!

The students were great, they took lots of notes and asked lots of good questions. I was very excited to watch them get it. Many told me afterward that it was a huge eye-opener, especially the idea of reading books of the bible from the perspective of the original audience. I hope they all run with it!

I was very sick during the whole week, and teaching those 2 days nearly did me in... I had some throat infection and all I could do was croak into the microphone. I told God though, that I would teach them until it killed me! So I had to keep my word..
