What is most challenging about engaging in Scripture?
trying not to decontextualize it
Share a Bible passage that is especially meaningful to you.
From Proverbs: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." In college, my best friend's father was one of the art professors. He created a sculpture for our newly constructed library, and the artwork included this quote. But it was actually years later that I realized "fear" would have been better translated as "respect". Guess I didn't learn enough Bible criticism in college!
