The Need to Read

I am convinced that much theological debate would be ended if people were better readers.

As a pastor I get everyone's questions about the Bible and theology. I love these questions and I am grateful to have the opportunity to speak into the lives of people.

Then there are the people who want to debate theology. The problem is that, often, they "don't read so good." Reading well requires us to pick up more than individual sentences. It requires us to place these sentences in their broader context and remembering how they fit in the broader scope.

Yes, if we simply read better then many debates would simply fade away.
