THE PARSING MIND
AND THE SEEING HEART

 A pastor said, “I have studied Greek and Hebrew, and learned about the scripture’s historical background.  I have increased my skill in exegesis, and have become able to give careful consideration to the Bible’s various literary contexts.  All of this I have done so that I may properly interpret the word of God.  What do you do to prepare yourself to interpret the Bible?” 

 The Gadfly said, “Yesterday, I helped an old man get onto a bus.  Today, I gave a cup of cold water to someone who asked for it.  I am not sure what I will do tomorrow.”
