Writing

Two subjects. One standard of care.

02 — Bible Study

Grace, read carefully

Chapter-by-chapter study from a New Covenant position — what the text says, in its context, without the assumptions we inherit before we ever open it.

A reactor face is hundreds of channels that all have to be right.

Not most of them. Not the important ones. All of them — and the discipline that produces that is the same one that reads a text honestly instead of reading into it.

iii
