I really liked this lesson when I was working on it. It’s a great illustration of how our Old selves (old wine skins) are incapable of holding and harnessing our new selves. Great comment, Keep going

Old Testament Survey

Chapter 12 Ruth

I always love reading the book of Ruth; it is one of my favorite books to read. The author of this book is unknown but it was written for Israel for the purpose of historical record for Israel to illustrate the love and concern God has for all people. It also illustrates the “kinsman redeemer relationship…

@rubeena987 Thank you and yes I quite agree we often do think deeply enough about things and simply take them at face value leaving all the precious little nuggets of meaning behind.

@Richie Thank You. I believe “spiritual change” is highly personal, experience, on any level. However, all people have different experiences that have lead us to this place of seeking Truth and Grace (Jesus). Therefore, I pray that each of us would be able to see and feel the shift from “as we shed the old and put on the new.

Hi John,
Evangelizing has been, in many circumstances, the most uncomfortable thing for me to do.

I think it’s easy to “assume that the work of evangelism,” should be ‘performed by the “professionals,” ‘ because it’s uncomfortable for many.

We forget that the Apostles and disciples were ordinary people charged by God to do great things.
