We just finish preliminary study #1. Everyone passed except Jennifer; she's still stuck on the Table of Contents. :) The content contained in preliminary study #1 is the most important part of this study; it's actually the most important thing you'll ever read, period. Nothing else matters, ultimately, unless you're a born-again, child of God. Furthermore, scripture states that in order for a person to understand God's Word, they must be saved (1 Cor 2: 10-14). Verse 14: "But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." To use a figure of speech, you can't go to second base, without touching first base. What we just covered in preliminary study #1 is "first base."
This week we'll move on to preliminary study #2, "What Does God Expect of Me?" Complete pgs 5-6. I pray you all have a great week. I look forward to reading your comments!
Love, Brad
