It seems like forever since I posted anything to the Berean Nation, and that stops right now.
I have been lazy, and I have not been disciplined in my study of scripture for the last bunch of months.
Over the next week or so, the plan is to put up the book study I did through Revelation though my fellowship’s chapter summary Bible Study. It isn’t as in depth as I had planned originally, but that will come in time.
After a few week’s break, we’ll be starting next week with a study of the Book of James, where we will learn the significance of works in our salvation and maybe will even have some slideshows like our Revelation Study did.
I trust that you will enjoy them, and that you will be active in participating in discussion on them.
Remember, the point of my Bible studies is not so much to teach doctrine (though that happens a lot), but instead to get you reading the Word of God for yourselves and learn what it says for yourselves! Don’t believe what I say, please! Read it for yourself and make up your own mind.
Gerry gave his life to Jesus Christ in June of 1985 through the witness of a man who was a member of the Charismatic movement. He first attended a Pentacostal church in his hometown during his final year of high school (1985-1986). After that, he went to university and studied Biology (Entomology/Ecology), graduating with an Honours degree in 1992. During this time, he attended a non-denominational gathering that was much in form like a Brethren assembly, leaving that place in 2004. In 2005, he and his young family began attending a local Baptist church in the city where he lives today. He serves there as the chair of the Christian Education, Missions, and Outreach commission, the coordinator for the Deacons-at-Large, and as the Deacon of the Pastor of the congregation.
His love of the Scriptures began the very night he became a Christian, and has continued to the present day. It is his desire that everyone that comes accross this site would become a careful reader of the Scriptures, even if they disagree with his own opinions about what they say, because he believes that the testimony to Jesus is the spirit of prophecy – and that the main goal of all Christians everywhere should be to follow Jesus to the best of their ability, with a spirit of devotion to the Lord, not just commitment to doctrinal positions. To this end, he has self-published an eBook titled “Practical Discipleship,” available on Amazon.com for the Kindle reader.
