SERIES: THIS IS US: The Bible – Ken Wetmore Love letter or instruction manual? How you approach the Bible is crucial. The religious leaders in Jesus' day proved it was possible to have the Scriptures completely memorized but miss the point. From Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21, the Bible is all about Jesus and an intimate relationship with Him. Jesus invites us to study the Bible so that we can know Him and receive life. This week one of our #WholeLifeTakeAways asked: When was a time that your study of the Bible deepened your friendship with God? We would love to hear of a time that your study of the Bible deepened your friendship with God.

What does it mean to live by faith? I'm not sure there's a simple answer to that question, but one practice may provide evidence. Tye Tribbett sings about it in his song "Anyhow" -- trusting and praising God no matter what comes our way. Let's explore the life and times of a prophet whose complaint to God could have been written this morning, and whose prayer we can mimic in our own lives. In this episode I discuss: Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture - this week's Bible Interaction Tool Exercises include: Reading in context Read and keep on reading Repetition Consult an overview Follow the cross-reference Our circumstances can cloud our view of God - "Experiencing God" by Henry Blackaby An introduction to the prophet Habakkuk Habakkuk's "hallelujah anyhow" conclusion - Habakkuk 3:17-19 How we "need to appreciate how {Habakkuk's conclusion} derives from a serious engagement with the issues of God's justice if {we} are to appreciate just how radical it is." - ESV Expository Commentary: Daniel–Malachi (Volume 7) Getting our bearings with a brief introduction to the book of Habakkuk - BlueLetterBible.org Gaining clarity through a deeper overview - TheBibleProject.com Habakkuk's complaint that could have been written today - Habakkuk 1:2-4 God's astounding response - Habakkuk 1:5-11 Habakkuk's concern with how God's response seems opposed to His character - Habakkuk 1:12-13 God's introduction to the phrase "the righteous will live by faith" - Habakkuk 2:2-4 Following the cross-references Romans 1:16-17 Galatians 3:2-3, 11 Hebrews 10:32-39 If God chooses to answer in a way that doesn't seem right to us, may we live by faith and sing hallelujah anyhow, trusting in our faithful God. Additional Resources Lyrics Story Behind the Songs - Tye Tribbett - YouTube Video (start at 28:30 to hear specifically about "Anyhow" Weekly Challenge Read the entire book of Habakkuk (all three chapters) several times. Then watch an overview video or read the introduction in your study Bible. Identify the comparisons to our own time and carefully observe how God replies. Track down the cross-references we mentioned in Romans, Galatians, and Hebrews. Finally, spend some time internalizing Habakkuk’s conclusion — singing hallelujah anyhow.

The three words, “Black Lives Matter” conjures so many different feelings, reactions, and thoughts from people it's hard to find the central focus for what those words truly mean. With the widened that racial chasm it seems that this has halted a lot of forward progression for racial equality. Della and I have a conversation about the BLM movement, hashtag, and symbolism. It's challenging in so many different ways. I hope that you learn and are able to step into our stories as we share our journeys. Della also talks about coming back to the US from living in Korea for almost 9 years and returning to the awakening of racial injustice and church engagement. She shares her perspective and thoughts on finding a place of understanding with these issues. Along with the chants of, “Defund the Police”, this topic presents so much push back under a wave of political and social agendas. Where do we find Jesus in the middle of this? How do we reconcile the calling of loving others in the middle of a politically charged matter? We try to answer these important questions in this episode of We Are the Middle. CORRECTIONS In this episode, I state the New York Police Department budget is 2 billion. I was incorrect - the actual budget is over 6 billion a year.

Onward, we study how to read texts like Revelation, Daniel, Ezekiel, Ether, 1 Nephi. Some steps 1. Big Picture 2. Trace the ideas 3. Symbols, figurative and in context 4. Applied Meaning 5. Application, past & present This is just a framework. Try it, but don't get "stuck" on it. When I am reading a challenging style of scripture it helps me to try something like this. Find what works for you, use the Spirit, do some research, teach it.

Greetings Friends! Thanks for listening or reading this news update, which is for everyone reading the Bible— but especially to all who are following the Digging Deeper Daily reading plan. As always, you can find all sorts of information about this reading plan at dailybiblereading.info. That’s where to look for helpful tips to make it easy listen or read the Bible in a year. In particular, see the Read This First information linked in the site header. I praise God that the 3rd semester of the Read To Me Daily reading plan is live now in your YouVersion Bible reading app. The link for subscribing is in the episode notes. If you don’t know, this reading plan follows the Digging Deeper Daily reading plan (like my podcasts) but this is an audio plan within YouVersion. In the third semester, I read the devotional page, then the internally bundled YouVersion recordings are played for the Bible readings. Please pray for me in preparing the 4th semester, so that it will be published before people complete the 3rd semester. I haven't been posting the videos from TheBibleProject.com like I planned in email updates and at our Facebook group. But I do at least want to remind you of them. The overview videos for each Bible book that they have done are Way Better than my short comments in the podcasts. They are especially helpful for more difficult books of the Bible, like the Old Testament prophetic books. Our Facebook group is now replaced by our forum at http://biblereaders.info. Right after this news podcast goes live, I will do another podcast on What Greek text of the New Testament that I recommend. That is the Byzantine text. In my opinion, the Nestle-Aland text no longer holds up under academic scrutiny as the best text for Bible translation or serious Bible study. In my podcast notes, I will link to readable articles that support what I am saying. For me as a Bible translator, this is not a decision I have made lightly. This will mean a lot of work for me and my team in Indonesia, because we will  revise our published New Testament to match the Byzantine text by 2022. Some have asked and will ask if I will redo all my daily Bible reading podcasts. I’m sorry, I certainly won’t have time for that. But here’s what I want to do, LORD willing: I would like to make a new series of podcasts of the New Testament that will be based on a new translation of the best Greek text. These won’t be daily podcasts, and I can’t do this alone. I need some volunteers who have time to help me. If you can use online Bible study tools effectively, and think you might have a flair for expressing Bible concepts in everyday language, please use the contact link at dailybiblereading.info to email me. Here is the MOST IMPORTANT thing I want to share with you in this News update: I want to highly recommend that EVERYONE who will read this letter or listen to this podcast to see the documentary movie called American Gospel. If you don’t want to spring immediately for the two hour movie (which is well worth the $5 price), please view the free one hour video linked here. This is a very clear presentation of the TRUTH about the false gospel that is being taught in so many churches in America. Even if you feel that your church is teaching what the Bible teaches, I still urge you to see the one hour version of American Gospel. I think every Christian needs to be able to identify the false message, because someone you know is listening to it, and you will want to be able to help them. If you live in another country, I also urge you view to this video, because this false gospel has been exported all around the globe. Let me also share another little tidbit on this topic, showing Francis Chan’s perspective. In family news, I am thrilled that my grandson Luke (16) will be going with me for 18 days to Papua, Indonesia, starting on the 22nd of June. Four college age people in an internship program with Pioneer Bible Translators will meet us there, and I will take them for a five-day adventure living in an Orya village. The goal of this time is to find out what village life in a tropical rainforest is like. They will help catch, butcher, harvest, and prepare the food we eat. I hope that they leave feeling like they have truly made a few good friends among the Orya people. And I know that whenever I go out there, the people will ask me about Luke and the four interns. Please pray in the first week of July! We hope that this experience will prepare all five of them for whatever service God has in mind for them in the future. Lord bless you all. We send our love in Christ to you. Phil & Gale
