Hmm.<br /><br />Kellie, I just finished reading through Isaiah, although I didn't do homiletics. I generally read the passages and pray through them in my devotions. Anyway, after finishing up the last chapter a few days ago I felt sadness. It was as if I was there with Isaiah, seeing with him all the revelation about Christ, the suffering servant, about the Day of the Lord, the new heaven and new earth, but then turning back to the reality of Assyria invading and knowing that Hezekiah delayed the judgment on Jerusalem only for a generation. Imagine seeing the glory of the Lord that was to come but then being the prophet to a people that was losing faith.<br /><br />That was a ramble, but in short, I too would like to truly study Isaiah, coupled with the history of Israel at that point (you could actually even go forward and see the fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecies re: Cyrus and so on, in a study of Isaiah).<br /><br />Sharon,<br />I'm with you about the "let me just go off in a hole and study the Bible all day" but how true that so much of our sanctification comes from the interaction of God's revelation to us in Scripture with our daily experiences.Mrs. Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06164426014157039784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2562326053379517826.post-37265757999315649282009-08-28T11:24:42.540+08:002009-08-28T11:24:42.540+08:00Wow!

Ask your class administrator or teaching leader if they can give you any more info about it.<br /><br />~ SharonSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13071911265430519926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2562326053379517826.post-62783371490346822202009-08-28T04:59:09.296+08:002009-08-28T04:59:09.296+08:00I attended the homiletics seminar twice and it was...I attended the homiletics seminar twice and it was always my favorite. I rarely was able to do homiletics with my lesson though because I was always preparing a children's lesson. This would be a great year to try though -- I'll have to go dig out my notes. I'm going to do a study on Isaiah this year, something I've been wanting to do since I left BSF. I always felt like BSF gave me such a solid background in the Bible, but Isaiah was one of my "gaps."argsmommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15871201210451384398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2562326053379517826.post-45320004708189861802009-08-27T22:02:57.866+08:002009-08-27T22:02:57.866+08:00Yes, I keep thinking that myself, but then reality...Yes, I keep thinking that myself, but then reality catches up with me.<br /><br />Just yesterday I was musing over how pleasant and enjoyable life would be if I could be a nun or a religious recluse (one of those who lived in a hole in a wall somewhere and was brought food occasionally by the local villagers... provided the hole in the wall had a flushing toilet and internet connection, of course!).<br /><br />If I was a recluse I could spend all day reading and studying my Bible and never have to repent of the harsh realities of my sinful responses to interruptions from other people (who shall remain nameless) when they have bad dreams during what is ostensibly my evening Mummy Time, or need a drink of water because I won't trust them to use the tap unsupervised, or just want a kiss and cuddle to comfort them because a sibling (who shall also remain nameless) has bashed them over the head in an attempt to obtain a particular set of blocks...<br /><br />Yes, sometimes I think the life of a recluse would be so very, very delightful. But then how on earth would God do His refining work in my heart? He'd probably send me spiders or rats to share my hole in the wall, or something else likewise far more horrible than petty irritations from my darling children.<br /><br />~ SharonSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13071911265430519926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2562326053379517826.post-75498778913168884082009-08-27T21:40:16.953+08:002009-08-27T21:40:16.953+08:00Great way to show homiletics!

Maybe this year, as we study John in BSF, I'll privately do the homiletics assignment as well!Mrs. Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06164426014157039784noreply@blogger.com
