“Our own hardheaded and hardheartedness is right there in the text. Sometimes, our own faults are the meat of the text. We can end up doubling down on nonsense when we quote the Bible apart from the Spirit of God.” Bro be preaching. This right here is so true.
This reminds me when Jesus was going off and said “You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me” You can’t read with your own discernment at all. You’ll miss the whole point. Thanks for this breakdown man. Love these!
Oh--didn’t even realize that’s the name of your podcast! I was just referring to the Treyslation of Matthew 19:7 in this post 😀. But yes, now I’ll definitely check out the podcast!
I love this idea of God reading the Bible to us. Sometimes I describe my experience as "reading the Bible is like having a conversation with God." Like--there's back-and-forth. Either way, if our engagement with the Bible doesn't include engagement with the God who wrote it, we're gonna end up on the wrong tracks a LOT.
Also--why do you keep beating me to the punch? I was planning to put up something about the nature of the Bible (and God) on Saturday. 😂 We should link back and forth to each other so it's a conversation, too. (Although actually, I was going to put that one behind a paywall. 😁)

Not yet, but I’ll be sure to!
I’m new here, but wanted to say I’m loving “Treyslation” 😊
New to your Substack, Pastor Trey. Glad to be here and read your writing on various topics!
