It is hard to stay committed when people mock and curse the God you’re preaching. But we’re called to both represent and proclaim Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit.

This changes how we approach the Bible, and encourages more serious study. Proper interpretation will begin by asking what the text meant to the original readers before asking how it applies to us.
