bible study

About a month ago, the Lord put in my heart a desire for a deeper diligent knowledge of his word. I signed up to audit a Calvary Chapel Bible College course on Systematic Theology. Didn't know what it was at the time, just that it was a fundamental requirement for college. Wow, this is great stuff! It is a comprehensive study of scripture around fundamental doctrines like the nature of God, Christ, Sin, Salvation, and End times.

There are a bunch of "OLOGIES" to be learned. We are to read AW Tozer's, "knowledge of the Holy".

• First nugget. How we understand or think of God is very important to our walk and worship of Him. We are created beings, and have creature thoughts about God. We can never fully understand the Lord, and to think so puts us in danger of having "a god in a box".
  
• We become like what we worship. As found in Psalms and Paul's writing, that idol worshipers become like that which they worship. Meaning they can't see or hear anything just like the wooden sticks they worship.
  
• Lord may I worship you more as I learn about your nature and attributes!
