I was reading 1 Corinthians 2 this morning and was once again blown away by the gift of the Holy Spirit. In this second chapter we are told that the Holy Spirit searches the depths of God to know him(self) completely, is the vehicle by which God reveals/imparts himself to us, and then does the job of interpreting the spiritual truths of God (or better said, the spiritual truth who is God). The result is that the mind of Christ develops in us.
Imagine a teacher who does all the research on, oh...let's say brain surgery, until she completely understands all about it. She then somehow is able to internally plant all the raw information into our minds, and then supernaturally makes us know how to apply the information so that anyone around us would say, "hey, look, a brain surgeon."

Good stuff Rob. I like the way you explain the scriptures here. I think most people who do not like to read the Bible have a difficult time understanding what is being said. So this is the task of the teacher, pastor, scholar, and poet to decipher.
We are still in Birmingham, AL. Just wasn't feeling inspired to blog, or maybe it was lazyness.
Talked to Nader the other day, and our 1&2 Samuel class came up. One of the single most fun times I had at Asbury was in that class surrounded by people I love.
Miss you Rob. Hope all is well.
