I’m writing to invite your blog to join the Bible Gateway Blogger Grid (BG²). If you’d like details, please email me. Thanks.
Hey Melissa,
I enjoyed your post today and this line stood out to me: Reading the Bible to get something for you is like only eating dessert at a meal. That is a great analogy and I admit I certainly do that some times. Thanks for sharing!
I also appreciated your points about inductive study, something I have done for years and have helped others to learn. Nothing like having the tools to learn from His word your self.
When you say we should never ask “what does this mean to me?” I am confused. That is what the application question is about, right? Do you mean we should not ask that until AFTER we had done the observation and interpretation? Clarification would be helpful.
Again, thanks for taking time to write and share!
Thanks for reading Kisa! I think when we ask “what does this mean TO me” we’re opening the door to many interpretations. One person can say it means this, while you say it means that. There is truly only one meaning to every verse, our job is to find the true meaning. However, we can ask what it means FOR me, or how it should apply to me. There are many applications, but only one interpretation. Does that make sense?
Hi Mrs.Danisi! You probably don’t remember me but you were my kindergarten teacher. I hope everything is going well, and I love your blog! 🙂

Hi Amy! Of course I remember you! I loved having you in my class! You were such a good student. Wow you’re a freshman now? How exciting! What’s your favorite subject??
It’s so good to hear back from you!I really enjoy Japanese class! My teacher makes Japanese really easy for me and having a mom thats fluent in Japanese doesn’t hurt as well. 😉
Melissa–I am unable to attend either of the Exodus sessions. Donna Gravano who attends suggested that I follow at home which would be awesome. She was going to get me the workbook on Tuesday but was told that there wasn’t any more. By any chance are there going to be anymore available??
Thanks,

We attend at the Fig campus
We will be ordering more! You can email patty@thewellcommunity.org and let her know you want one.
Hello! Is there a way to get the Exodus I and Exodus II study?
Hi there! We actually used Jen Wilkin’s Exodus study. I think you can google her name and Exodus and they’re should be there!
