Strong Dads - How to Understand and Study the Bible -Old Testament - Episode 189

When you look at the Bible and see the thickness and sheer volume of writings, it can be a bit overwhelming.  However, as the old saying goes, "how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time!"  That's the idea with the Bible as well.  To begin to understand the Bible it helps to start breaking it down into smaller bites.  There are multiple sections and books of the Bible that help to make up the full context, so start with learning a little about the various sections and books.  In this show, Hutch and Kyle begin by just talking about the Old Testament and what the general themes are in this section.  Once you realize that the Old Testament is describing God's Nature, His Will, and then Human Nature and the will of humans.  From the first two books of the Bible, Genesis and Exodus, we are introduced to these to themes and how they are opposing each other.  But, in these books we immediately see God's love for us.  He pursues us even as we run away.  He offers a clear pathway to Him, even when we think we know of a better way.  This is the start of the great conflict and expression of Love between God and man.  Hutch and Kyle do not intend this show to be deep with theology, but rather, their own experiences and awakenings that brought them back to a better understanding of God's Will.  When you listen, think about your own experiences and where you are in the discussion with your will versus God's Will.  http://rocksolidfamilies.orgSupport the show#Rocksolidfamilies,#familytherapy,#marriagecounseling,#parenting,#faithbasedcounseling,#counseling,#Strongdads,#coaching,#lifecoach,#lifecoaching,#marriagecoaching,#marriageandfamily,#control,#security,#respect,#affection,#love,#purpose,#faith,#mastersofdisaster,#storms,#disasterrelief,#tornados,#hurricanes,#floods
