Thanks for chipping in again, WS

"Why do you wish to insert your opinion and then complain of others inserting Scripture and Prophesy?"

So a lay preacher friend approached me after church and let me know he would be providing the sermon the next Sabbath.   His title he said was 'Not done yet' and he offered his text.  I opened the bible and began reading from the first verse in the chapter; his text was the 8th verse.

He interrupted me and said, 'Don't read the context.  It doesn't work.'  

I began reading the specific verse and he said, 'Not the first sentence, just the last.'

True story.  Actual quotes.

I'm thinking you and my lay preacher friend ... well, who knows.  He may be you, actually.  

Do you ever smile when you sense something in Scripture that confirms your experience of God?

Do you ever sense in Scripture something you never knew about God?

Share your experiences, please.

They would be so useful.
