Clearer Vision

Our understanding of the Bible is hindered by many obstacles.  Even the simple fact that most of us are illiterate in Greek and Hebrew limits our ability to grasp God’s truths.  Race, gender, age, experience, culture, and the all encompassing snag of sin limit understanding of our eternal, holy, limitless God.

•    As much as possible, apply every Bible verse to yourself

•    Don’t assume a blessing or promise is only for the future
•    Read the Word at face value as much as possible
•    Err on the side of expecting too much from God
