Hi Pastor John-
I really love the OT class. I’m going slow but really loving it. Embarrassing, but the first test I missed 14, however the second test I missed 7 so I’m thinking if I take it one more time I may know something!
I really like how you explain about the slanderer, how Eve felt God must have not really loved her, and how that still happens today. I can really see how that thought can really make a bad seed grow. Even more reason to stay close to Jesus.
Also I loved how you talked about David and Absalom, and how people either stuck with the law or their feelings. Man that was just good!
Thank you thank you thank you for these Cd’s!

Hi Michelle.
I am very glad you are getting so much out of my OT course. Please do not feel embarrassed about missing 14 on that first test. Jesus gave me that test for my students when I taught the course in the community college to help humble my students so that they would be more willing, and more able, to learn. That test is designed so that the better a Christian you are, or have been, the more questions you will miss. It is surprising how consistently that happened, but then, Jesus is the Master teacher! Another wonderful element of that test is that, even after reading the material, grades do not improve much for the good Christians who take it because so many of them do not really read what is in the Bible. Their eyes go over the words, but what they have in their minds are the traditions they have been taught. One very good Christian even missed MORE questions after reading the biblical material than she missed the first time she took the test. (THAT is Jesus, for you!) Keep it up. If you missed fewer questions the second time around, then you really were paying attention to what you were reading.
