Learning How To Interpret Scripture Through Context
Adapted from Grasping God's Word: A Hands-On Approach to Reading, Interpreting, and Applying the Bible, Duvall, J. Scott; Hays, J. Daniel (2009-05-26) and Workbook: Journey into God's Word: Your Guide to Understanding and Applying the Bible. This lesson explains the elements of context when interpreting Bible Scripture.
Meaning and Application
This document provides instruction on applying biblical meaning to one's life through a process of observation, interpretation, and application. It explains that application involves finding parallel modern situations addressed by the theological principles in the text. Application must stay true to the author's intended meaning and make specific scenarios or stories relevant to a contemporary audience. The document uses Philippians 4:13 as an example of applying meaning through exploring the original context, finding differences to modern contexts, identifying timeless principles, and discovering a parallel application.
Chapter 2 the interpretative journey
This document outlines a 5-step method for interpreting biblical texts:
1. Grasp the text's meaning for the original audience by studying the historical and literary context.
2. Identify differences between the original audience and modern readers, such as culture and covenant.
3. Derive a broad theological principle by balancing these differences and similarities.
4. Check that the principle aligns with the rest of the Bible.
5. Apply the principle to contemporary Christian living.
The method is demonstrated through interpreting Joshua 1:1-9, resulting in a principle about drawing strength from God's presence and obeying his word.
Acts 6.8 8.1
Stephen was falsely accused of blasphemy against Moses and God and brought before the Sanhedrin for questioning. During his speech before the council, Stephen recounted the history of Israel and accused the Jewish leaders of resisting the Holy Spirit, just as their ancestors had resisted God. This angered the council and they had him stoned to death, with Saul holding the cloaks of those who were throwing the stones. His martyrdom led to the persecution of the early Christian church and the spread of Christianity throughout Judea and Samaria, except for Jerusalem.
Christian Church Advancement Tricks
The document discusses the lukewarm and self-centered state of many modern churches, comparing them to the church of Laodicea described in the Bible. It argues that Christians today focus too much on self-interests like ambition and worth rather than denying themselves and following Christ by living for others. As a result, the Christian church has lost its voice in society and government. The document calls for Christians to wake up, stop infighting, and unite as true disciples of Christ in order to strengthen the faith against other growing threats.
Transformers
The document discusses the need for Christians to be transformed. It notes that we were created by God but need to be transformed from sinfulness through obedience to God's word. The document emphasizes that true transformation means developing godly characteristics like love, faithfulness, and bearing spiritual fruit through service to God. It encourages readers to allow the word of Christ to fully transform their lives through hearing, believing, repenting of sins, confessing Christ, and being baptized.
Proper 19 Promise Covenant
This document discusses the importance of keeping promises and living a life of promise. It explores the concept of promise and covenant in biblical terms, looking at God's promises to Noah, Abraham, and Moses. It suggests that making and keeping promises is at the core of who we are. The document asks what promises define our lives and what promises we are willing to make to our community and to God. It outlines the author's role and promises as rector, to preach with clarity, guide the community pragmatically and listen for trouble.
God, our loving father
This chapter discusses God's love and mercy as shown through Jesus Christ, the commandments, and his covenant with the Israelites. It describes how God promised to send a savior for humankind and how the Israelites worshipped a golden calf while Moses received the 10 commandments on Mount Sinai. Jesus is the greatest sign of God's love and mercy, and God's laws are meant to show his love. The chapter also provides background on key biblical figures like Moses and terms such as covenant and providence.

While these efforts faced challenges, preliminary results showed increased visitor experiences and engagement both onsite and online. The document argues that truly embracing audience engagement requires changes in how museums are organized and a long-term institutional commitment.
Client-centered therapy
Carl Rogers developed client-centered therapy in the 1940s as an alternative to traditional psychoanalytic approaches. In client-centered therapy, the therapist takes a non-directive approach, actively listening without judgment to help clients gain self-understanding and acceptance. The therapist provides empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard to create an environment where clients can explore their feelings and find their own answers. Research shows client-centered therapy can be as effective as cognitive behavioral therapy and has influenced other approaches like motivational interviewing. While criticism includes the lack of diagnoses, some find it less effective for certain disorders, client-centered therapy changed psychotherapy by making it more client-focused and flexible.
User Persona
User personas are representations of target users that are created based on research to emphasize their goals, limitations, and behaviors. They are used in user-centered design to keep the focus on the user experience. Personas are developed through planning research activities, gathering data on users from methods like interviews and surveys, analyzing the data for patterns to group users, and then creating profiles with names, photos and details about their demographic information, goals, environments and representative quotes. The persona description is a design deliverable that provides a shared understanding of the target user for the whole team throughout the design process.

Jesus among other gods
The document discusses whether Christianity is intolerant. It analyzes Jesus' responses to six key questions and compares them to other world religions. While Christianity teaches forgiveness, kindness, honesty and virtue, it is intolerant of sin, false gods, and false gospels because Jesus claimed to be the only way to God.

The document argues that either Christianity is completely true based on Jesus' identity and actions, or it is not true at all.

But Aren't All Religions the Same?
This document is a summary of the key differences between Christianity and other religions according to Dr. Peter Hammond.

It emphasizes that salvation is a free gift received through faith in Jesus alone, not works. The tract encourages readers to repent of sins, pray, study the Bible, attend a church, and share the gift of salvation with others.
What it means to be a christian
Christianity involves a relationship with God initiated through Jesus Christ's death and resurrection. It makes believers new creations who participate in Christ's eternal life and take on God's holiness. As Christians, believers are called to trust God as their Father, support one another as brothers and sisters, invest in heaven rather than earthly things, and maintain peace at all times. The talk concludes that Christians are fortunate to have God as their Father and can find peace by committing their lives fully to Him.

Dealing with marital problems
This document discusses biblical principles for dealing with marital problems from a Christian perspective. It argues that many churches today compromise biblical teaching by mixing it with secular psychology. This hinders sanctification in marriages. It also notes that there is widespread biblical ignorance. The document outlines some preconditions for problem solving, including both spouses trusting fully in the sufficiency and authority of Scripture, and viewing themselves as a unified covenantal body rather than as individuals.

It emphasizes equipping oneself with knowledge of other religions and the gospel, encouraging believers to save souls through spending oneself in evangelism. Specific evangelism tactics are outlined, including understanding objections, using Scripture, the Roman Road plan of salvation, and always pointing to Christ as the only way.

It encourages growing closer to God and Jesus Christ through exercising faith in how we live our lives.
Apologetics
The document discusses the issue of hypocrisy among Christians. It defines hypocrisy and examines what the Bible says about it. While Jesus condemned hypocrisy, not all sin is hypocrisy and no Christian is perfect. Hypocrites are pretenders who do not truly believe. Though some Christians act hypocritically, one should judge Christianity by what Jesus taught rather than the actions of a few. Personal faith in Christ is what matters, not other people's behavior.
11 christian life
The document discusses key aspects of practical Christian living including:
1) Stewardship of time, talents, abilities and possessions for the benefit of others.
2) The importance of tithing as a small way to give back to God for all He has given.
3) Loving oneself in the Christian sense of living for God and others, not selfishly.
4) Biblical marriage as a sacred, intimate bond between a man and woman meant to reflect Christ's relationship with the church.
5) Challenges around sexuality in society today and the need for compassionate yet principled biblical counsel.
Not in this age
This document discusses the sin against the Holy Spirit and defines six types of sins that constitute sinning against the Holy Spirit: 1) Presuming God's mercy, 2) Despairing of salvation, 3) Impugning known truth, 4) Envy of others' spiritual goods, 5) Obstinacy in sin, and 6) Final impenitence. It provides examples and explanations for each type of sin. The document also addresses whether someone can commit an unpardonable sin and concludes that while God's grace can forgive any sin, the teachers of the law who mistook Jesus' work as evil did not repent and their sin was therefore unforgivable.
Soar into Missional Ministry

It also discusses the different vocations in the Church including marriage, religious life, and priesthood. The vocations are presented as all being equally important and interdependent ways to fulfill the universal call to holiness.
All Roads Lead To Golgotha.doc
The document discusses several "roads" in the Bible that point to Golgotha, where Jesus was crucified.
1) The Road to Damascus represents conversion and transformation from unbelief to belief. It discusses Paul's conversion experience and what it symbolizes for Christians today.
2) The Road to the Wilderness symbolizes separation from the world, spiritual warfare, solitude, and preparation for ministry. It discusses how Jesus and John the Baptist spent time in the wilderness and what Christians can learn from this.
3) All the roads ultimately lead to Golgotha, where Jesus died on the cross as the only way to salvation and forgiveness of sins. The choice is to either accept Jesus or reject Him
No.257 english
The temptation to introduce "new" things into the work of God has always been too strong for some people to resist... Today this trend has accelerated beyond recognition despite A.W. Tozer's warning. Christians should be spiritually awakened so as to discern God’s original ways from man-made false ways in every area of Christianity.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
