Approaching Scripture

The other day, I came across this article by Jen Wilkin on The Gospel Coalition and thought it was really spot on!  She challenges readers, especially women, to examine the ways they have been taught to approach God's Word.

Here's the last paragraph of her post found here--
"Stop waiting for your community of believers to call you to be what Christ already has. Be a student. Be a good student. Read repetitively and in context, line by line. Keep the God of the gospel at the center of your study. Strive for comprehension before interpretation. Give application ample time to emerge from a passage. Watch ignorance flee and transformation flourish. Study the Word. Master it, master it." 

Go read the rest of the post and share with friends! And expect a new post tomorrow about the Kerr/Smith wedding and my mini-trip to Bethesda!
