The Gathered of God

We often speak of the need to read both broadly and deeply in the Bible. Reading widely takes in large portions of Scripture at a time. Doing so gives you a good understanding of the layout and structure of Scripture; it's big patterns and major ideas. But we also need depth. This means looking closely at texts, taking in and thinking through every blessed word saved for us by the Spirit, that we may understand not only the forest, but also the trees. Today, we come to what might look like a meager introduction -- but don't be fooled! From it we can glean much about who we are, and the God we serve!
