Recap in 10 Tweets

  1. To understand the Bible properly, the 1st KEY is to Establish the THEME of the AUTHOR. #WordStrong
  2. The Bible isn’t first & foremost about ME! It’s about CHRIST & the Father’s passion to see Him GLORIFIED! #WordStrong
  3. Seeing ME, my SALVATION, my BLESSING as the theme of the Bible has led to an ENTITLEMENT MENTALITY in Christianity. #WordStrong
  4. The ME focus in Bible study creates a mindset that GOD exists for US, rather than, WE exist for GOD! #WordStrong
  5. The ME focus in Bible study makes us ask, How can I RECEIVE the maximum BLESSING? Not, How can I GIVE Christ the maximum GLORY? #WordStrong
  6. The THEME of the BIBLE is “THAT DAY” when the Lord Jesus Christ is receiving the GLORY DUE His name in His Kingdom. #WordStrong
  7. When Christ returns in His Kingdom and sets this world aright, there will be BUCKEYES everywhere & not a WOLVERINE in sight! #WordStrong
  8. All the OT prophets were preaching about the 2nd coming of Christ 100’s of years before His 1st coming! (Acts 3:19–21) #WordStrong
  9. The past 2,190,000 days God’s been preaching the THEME of the BIBLE thru the Sun of Righteousness rising on this planet. #WordStrong
  10. Until CHRIST’S KINGDOM GLORY is the theme of our lives, we’ll miss the point of the Bible, salvation & our very existence. #WordStrong
